harassment. Further, physical or verbal abuse of any person on University property or disregard for the physical well being, property, or rights of any person on University-owned property or any conduct which threatens or endangers the health, safety, or well being of any such person is subject to disciplinary action. Keys Residents are responsible for the use and control of their room/hall keys. All keys remain the property of Northern State. It is against Northern policy to duplicate any residence hall key. Keys are not transferable (which means you cannot lend your keys to any other resident or guest no matter what the reason). Violators will be subject to disciplinary action. Lost keys must be reported to your hall staff immediately. Residents who should lose his/her key will be assessed a replacement charge. Keep your keys with you at all times. If a lock out occurs, contact the resident assistant on duty. LED Light Strips The adhesion of LED Light Strips to the walls or furniture in the residence halls are prohibited. If a student chooses to use these strips in their room and adheres them to NSU property, they will receive a damage fine no less than $200 and no more than $1500. Light Fixtures The use of acetate, cellophane, tissue paper, or other combustible materials over or in the light fixtures is forbidden by fire regulations. There are risks of personal injury or fire. Acetate may get too hot and melt on to the fixture. Even when acetate does not melt it holds heat rather than allowing it to diffuse. This could result in a possible short or bulb explosion that could cause a personal injury or fire. Littering/Throwing Objects Littering or throwing objects from windows is prohibited. Littering within the residence halls, on campus, and in the surrounding community of Aberdeen is highly frowned upon. Use the proper trash receptacles when discarding unwanted objects. You are responsible for your guests and for other residents’ actions in your room. Lobby Furniture Lobby furniture may not be moved from the lobby. Furniture located in the lounges and other public areas is for the use of all residents. If lobby furniture is discovered in a resident’s room, disciplinary action will be taken. Lofts An extremely popular residence hall student request is to loft the bed for sleeping and to aid in room storage. To help provide guidelines in this area, the Office of Residence Life has adopted the following set of regulations: Loft renting is currently available in all of our residence halls. If you are interested in lofting these beds Residence Life has a small amount of loft kits available for rent on a first come first serve basis for $150 per year. Talk to your Hall Staff if you are interested. Lofts must not be constructed across an exit way. Students are not allowed to build their own lofts.
