COURTESY & QUIET HOURS
College residence halls are group living environments. Therefore, it is expected that every student
respect other student’s rights to study, to be in a quiet environment and to be able to achieve
adequate rest in preparation for the next day.
Courtesy Hours
Courtesy hours are enforced 24 hours each day. During courtesy hours, residents are expected to act
in a manner that demonstrates respect for the rights of others to study and sleep in their rooms. The
right to reasonable quiet shall, at all times, prevail in the residence halls. Residents are expected to
work together cooperatively to establish acceptable and respectable noise levels.
Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are posted in each building at the beginning of each academic year. During quiet hours,
noise should be audible only in the resident’s room with the door closed. The noise should not extend
beyond the resident’s closed door. Quiet hours are enforced 24 hours a day during final exams.
GUEST & VISITORS POLICY
The following is the residential policy on guests and visitors.
A. Visitation refers to the privilege of having guests in your room and/or in the residential area
in which it is located. The rights of other residents, especially your roommate(s), take
precedence over this privilege. The guidelines and timeframes for visitation will be
communicated to all students at the start of the academic year. In the event of an
emergency, crisis, staffing concern, or major campus function, Housing and Residence
Life and/or the Department of Public Safety reserve the right to limit or modify designated
visitation hours.
B. A guest is defined as any person who is not assigned to live in a specific residence hall
room and/or residential area, whether the guest is a residential student, commuting
student, or non-student of Spelman College. Non-student guests must present photo
identification and register when entering a residential area. A non-student guest must be
escorted by a host at all times in residential areas.
C. Students and their guest(s) are expected to comply with the policies and procedures and
reasonable requests of the Housing and Residence Life staff. Guests must abide by all
policies and procedures of the College. Residents will be accountable for the behaviors of
their non-student guests, and will face possible conduct action through the campus
conduct system for violating the College’s Community Standards and Code of Conduct.
D. Students must exercise good judgment when hosting a social gathering. Moreover,
students are encouraged to make special efforts to maintain the College’s community
