- 32 - NSU Office of Residence Life 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 to any resident that lives in a room where a newer model of bed has been placed (Kramer, Steele & Briscoe). 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 $75 per semester. 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. Musical Instruments Musical instruments may be played quietly in your room except during quiet hours. However, at any time such activity results in a complaint, residents are expected to stop playing. Practice rooms can be found in the Johnson Fine Arts Center and Spafford Hall. Noise and Disruption Each student should have the right to sleep or study without unreasonable restriction in his/her own room at any time during the day or night. Excessive noise and disruption will not be tolerated in the residence halls. Should students have a noise complaint, they must first approach the room where the excessive noise is emitting from and respectfully ask the residents to quiet down BEFORE they ask a CA to respond. Quiet/Courtesy Hours All residents share the need and responsibility for creating and maintaining a community environment conducive to serious study and sleep. Therefore, the following quiet hours have been established to help in fulfilling residents' study and sleep needs: Sunday-Thursday: 11 P.M.-11 A.M. Friday and Saturday: 1 A.M.-12 P.M.
