Quiet Hours, Courtesy Hours, & Noise

 

Quiet Hours
Campus-wide quiet hours begin at 11:00 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and at 2:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday and are in effect until 7:30 a.m. each day. Noise that infringes on a person’s working environment at any time cannot be tolerated.

Courtesy Hours
Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours a day. All students are expected to show consideration for other residents. Residents are expected to honor reasonable requests by any resident or staff member when asked that stereos, musical instruments, televisions, etc. be satisfactorily turned down or turned off. Residence Life may designate particular residence hall floors “quiet floors” where quiet hours are in effect 24 hours a day.

Noise
Members of the Hampshire community have the right to a quiet environment. Unlike areas surrounding other buildings, noise made outside of residence halls can interfere with the ability to sleep, study, or socialize. The same expectations regarding courtesy that apply inside residence halls also apply to the area surrounding them. The use of amplified instruments, DJ equipment, and drums in the residences, indoor or outdoors, and the placing of stereo speakers in windows facing outward are prohibited.
