This includes anyone who is of legal drinking age and over.

The University Student Code of Conduct prohibits explosives (including fireworks), firearms, black or smokeless powder ammunition, and/or weapons of any type in the residence halls, resident rooms, or campus grounds. Possession of firearms, weapons, and/or ammunition in the residence halls could be grounds for the immediate termination of the Residence Hall License Agreement. For the definition of “weapon” for residence hall policy, please see the Student Code of Conduct . Weapons may include, but are not limited to: knives, paint guns, air guns, CO2 guns, stun guns, tasers, martial arts weapons, laser pointers, tear gas, sling shots, darts, and pellet and spring guns.

ASU recognizes that tobacco use is a public health hazard and is dedicated to providing a healthy, comfortable, and educationally productive learning environment for faculty, staff, students, and visitors. Smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco products are prohibited in or on all university property.

Arizona state law and university policy prohibits student involvement in the use, possession, distribution, presence of or sale of illegal drugs and/or paraphernalia. Refer to the Student Code of Conduct for more information. Any violation of this policy may result in immediate termination of your University Housing license agreement.

Residents are obligated to remove themselves from any situation where a violation is occurring. Residents present during a violation of hall policy and/or code of conduct can be held responsible for that violation.

Residents are prohibited from vandalizing, damaging, or destroying university or other individuals’ property. Any damages to the community will be billed back to the individuals who caused the damage or split among the residents that live in that community. Any damages that are not listed on the room inspection report (RIR) at the time of check-in will be billed to your student account at the time of repair or check-out. Refer to the Student Code of Conduct (See section G, 1l: Restitution) for more information. You will be billed for any damages in the dorm rooms after you check out. Please be sure to inform us immediately should an incident occur.

Keys issued to resident by University Housing may not be duplicated or given to unassigned persons (friends, family members, others). All keys must be returned at time of official check-out. If a resident does not turn in keys or turns in keys that do not match the keys that were issued upon check-in, it will result in a lock change that will be billed to MTBI and will be taken out of your stipend.

Lock Out Policy:

If you lose your key, you should report this to University Housing immediately in order to have the lock changed for your own safety and security.

Please keep in mind that our group is not the only one staying in the dorms therefore be mindful of the QUIET HOURS enforced by University Housing. Quiet hours are in effect in all residence halls from 9 p.m. - 8 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 1 a.m. – 8 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. During finals week, quiet hours are in effect 24 hours a day, beginning on the last day of classes at 9:00 p.m. Individual floors and/or halls may add restrictions on noise, but may not reduce what is noted above.

Each residence hall room contains a bin for collecting trash and a blue colored bin for collecting recyclable materials. Residents are encouraged to participate in the ASU Recycling Program and to use these bins accordingly. All residents are required to dispose of their own trash and recycling by taking it to the designated disposal locations. Dumpsters for recycling are clearly labeled and residents are asked to not contaminate them with non-recyclable materials. Guidelines for materials that are recyclable can be found on ASU’s website for zero waste.

Cooking in student rooms is allowed where kitchen facilities are a standard part of the room’s facilities, and in community cooking locations. Microwaves are permitted when limited to 700-watt usage. Only small refrigerators (no more than 4.0 cubic ft.) are allowed in residence hall rooms unless otherwise provided by University Housing. All cooking in kitchen facilities must be monitored at all times. Students who fail to clean up after cooking will be held accountable according to our Health and Safety expectations. University Housing is committed to sustaining our environment, therefore encourages students to utilize energy-star appliances. Any appliances that have an exposed red coil heating element are prohibited.

Note: Due to safety concerns, students are prohibited from lighting stove pilot lights and flipping breaker box switches. If you smell natural gas, call a University Housing staff member immediately. Please submit a work request online .

Public area furnishings are for the use of all residents and are not to be removed from the public areas or to be used in residents’ rooms. The removal of public furnishings is considered theft and individual or community damage charges may be assessed.
