Open hall hours provide residential students occasion for informal social interaction with members of the opposite sex within the context of the residence hall atmosphere. Open hall hours are not intended to provide complete privacy. It is expected that students maintain proper decorum and respect for residents of the floor during open hall hours. All doors (including suite door and bedroom doors where applicable) must remain open and lights must be on while students host members of the opposite sex. Excessive displays of affection are not acceptable.
Open Hall hours will be published and communicated at the start of the semester by the Residential Life and Housing Office. Open hall hours begin after the first All-Hall Meeting each semester and conclude prior to finals week. Specific hours will be published at the start of each semester. There is no open hall during college breaks, and/or as posted by residential life staff.
