Residents are encouraged to decorate as long as they do not create health or fire hazards, or cause damage to the room. The following are some guidelines regarding decorations:
- Mounting any TV or monitor screens on walls are not permitted.
- Street signs must have a bill of sale (receipt) with them or they will be considered stolen property and referred to Campus Police.
- All items must comply with the appropriate Housing policies including alcohol, harassment, profanity, etc., and must not block peepholes.
- All decorations are subject to the approval of roommates. Residents may be asked to take items down if they are offensive, create a hostile living environment, or are deemed inappropriate by Housing staff.
- No items are to be posted or decorations displayed on the interior or exterior of the entrance, hall, or bedroom doors.
- No items are to be posted or displayed on the windows.
- Curtains are allowed with tension rods only—no drills, nails, or screws.
- Nothing is to be hung on any walls using nails or thumb tacks. Residents will be charged for all nail holes or other damage to any walls.
- 3M products are the only approved means of hanging decorations, and must be very carefully removed to avoid damage.
