Due to their high temperatures, halogen lights are not permitted in the Residence Halls, as they can be a fire hazard. Do not bring microwave ovens, mini-refrigerators, toasters, heaters, or cooking grills. These additional units will cause an undue burden on our electrical system.

Room Decorating
You may choose to do some interior decorating of your room. We encourage creativity with items like bedspreads, posters, lamps, and plants. The basic common sense rule is to avoid doing anything that may damage the room, doors, walls, furnishings, ceiling, or floors. You will be held responsible for any damage to your room. Damage includes, but is not limited to, nail holes, stickers, holes or gouges, and graffiti. Poster clay that will not damage the paint is recommended for adhering posters and other decorations; scotch tape is not recommended. No items are to be attached to the ceiling. You are not allowed to paint your room. You are encouraged to ask your Resident Advisor about your decorating plans BEFORE you implement them. All room furniture is to remain in your assigned room. The Residence Halls do not have storage space for unwanted furniture. Furniture may not be stored off-campus.
Telephones
Each room has a telephone line with dial tone. You will need to bring your own telephone instrument. Upon move-in you will be able to dial 911, call any on campus extension and receive calls (no collect calls can be accepted). In order to make off campus calls, you will need an authorization code. You automatically receive an authorization code in your move-in packet. Many students use their cell phones to call off campus.
