Shared Space Expectations
Respect Each Other’s Space:
- Being well-versed in our Community Standards can help you feel even more comfortable in your new living environment.
- Here are the top five Community Standards you should familiarize yourself with:
Quiet Hours
- Sunday through Thursday: 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.
- Friday and Saturday: Midnight to 10 a.m.
- Be mindful of noise levels, especially during quiet hours.
- Courtesy Hours: 24/7
- Please keep noise levels down to ensure everyone can enjoy a peaceful environment. If it gets too loud and bothers others, you will be asked to lower the volume as a courtesy to your neighbors.
Community Living Resources
Safety and Support:
- Participate in maintaining a safe and inclusive environment.
- You should always contact your Resident Advisor (RA) for any non-emergency issues. They will help guide you through the next steps.
- University Police Department (UPD): For emergencies, call 911. For non-emergency situations, call (831) 655-0268. Officers are available 24/7.
- Night Walks: Call a student Community Service Officer (CSO) to support you in walking from one part of campus to your residence hall at night by dialing (831) 655-0268 for a Night Walk.
