prescribed in the Residential Living Guide or The Student Handbook. Housing Rules and Regulations As a member of the Northern State residential community, you are expected to know and abide by the Northern State policies and regulations. Violations of these are handled through the disciplinary procedures of Northern State University. Residents in each hall are individually responsible for the actions of the people residing within it. This implies that the conduct of students within the building should be governed by their responsibility to their fellow students. While you may not always believe that a specific rule is a good one; this is not justification for violating it or refusing to enforce it. There are democratic procedures available for changing undesirable policies and regulations and you are encouraged to seek out those solutions. By assuming joint responsibility for these regulations and policies, Residents will be able to work together as a community of individuals whose common goal is the personal and academic growth and development of each student. In addition to the rules and regulations listed below, all students must abide by the Northern State University Code of Student Conduct. Adhesives, Pins, and Tacks Students are encouraged to use good judgment in attaching materials to walls. The student assumes full responsibility for removing all marks left by adhesives and paying for any damage that may result. Tacks or pins should not be used on the door. Tape almost always leaves damage or marks which are difficult to remove. The student chooses to use only adhesives that do not cause damage or to be responsible for cleaning all marks the adhesive may leave and paying for damages if marks cannot be removed. Within Great Plains East, Great Plains West, and Wolves Memorial Suites students are encouraged to use pins or tacks on walls. 3M strips are not encouraged as they tend to do more damage than pins or holes. If a resident uses 3M strip and peels the paint away, the resident will be charged the appropriate amount as stated on the “Room Charges” sheet. Advertising/Soliciting Residents may advertise products they wish to sell to other students only on their own door. Use of bulletin boards is determined by the staff and hall council. Soliciting for the sale or distribution of information, services or products is not permitted in the residence halls without proper authorization from the Director of Residence Life. No one may sell or distribute door to door. Any activity of this kind should be reported immediately to the Hall Staff. “Hostess” Parties are not permitted in the residence halls. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, Mary Kay, Jamberry, Thirty One, Scentsy, etc. This policy is required to protect the privacy of residents, to guard against unreliable peddlers, and to protect the educational environment of the residence halls.
