Residence Life Policies

Quiet Hours

In promoting respect for others and understanding the residence facilities are part of the academic environment at Earlham, it is expected that students will be able to study and sleep in their rooms. It is the responsibility of all residents to avoid nose that might disturb others in the building.

Residents are expected to request quiet from offending parties before asking a staff member to intervene.

Hoerner Hall, designated as a Quiet Residence Hall, observes the following quiet hours:
Mon.-Thurs. all hours except 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Fri. no quiet hours after 4:00 p.m.
Sat. no quiet hours
Sun. all hours except 4:00 - 7:00 p.m.

Residents on each floor in Barrett, Bundy, Earlham, Olvey-Andis, Warren, Wilson and Norwich must establish quiet hours in accordance with the following procedures:

1. A member of the Residence Life Staff will call a floor meeting within one week of the beginning of classes in the Fall Semester.

2. Floor members will determine the following issues by consensus:

1. Particular hours for weekdays and weekends.

2. The expectation of floor members during quiet hours.

3. These agreements should be written down, posted in a central location on the floor, with copies submitted to the Area Director.

4. Any floor member may call a floor meeting to rediscuss these issues at any time. Persons moving on to a floor after procedures have been established must abide by the standing policies until such policies are amended.

5. In the event that floors adjacent to, or above or below, each other have conflicts concerning set hours or designations of quiet, the Area Director will convene a meeting between floors to work out a solution.
