- 31 - NSU Office of Residence Life Guests may be required to leave a hall at the discretion of the hall staff. If available and a guest wants a private or empty room, there will be a charge per person per night as determined by Residence Life. The price will not include linens. Students are also responsible for the behavior of people using their room and may not host a guest in absentia. Overnight guests must sign in with the CA on duty during their office hours each evening. This is required so that staff is aware of who is in the hall in the event of an emergency. Harassments/Physical Abuse Any act or threat, including profane or abusive language for the purpose of harassing or submitting any member of the University to pain, discomfort, or indignity, whether in or on University property is subject to disciplinary action. This includes racial, ethnic, or sexual 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.
