Guests
You are responsible for the conduct of your guests, regardless of who they are, when they are present in housing. If you intend to have visitors or guests in the hall, be aware that you may be subject to disciplinary action because of their behavior. Additionally, residence hall staff members reserve the right to ask any non-resident to leave the residence halls. See also “visitation”
Activities within Your Room
Along with your roommate, you are fully responsible for all activities that occur in your room. Even if you are not actively involved in a policy violation, you may still be held responsible if you are present during a violation, or if you give others access to your room. Therefore, you should always lock your room when you leave, even if you leave for only a few minutes. This will prevent others from committing violations in your room without your knowledge. It is your responsibility to put an end to any violation that occurs in your room, and to call Housing staff and/or University Police if you need assistance.
Roommate Agreement
All residents are required to complete a roommate agreement at the beginning of the assignment into their room. Resident Assistants and Community Managers will use the roommate agreement to open a discussion with each resident, and address any existing and/or potential roommate conflicts. The Roommate Agreement, once agreed
upon and signed by all roommates and a Residential Education staff member, is considered a binding agreement. If roommate conflicts continue, all roommates are encouraged to attend a mediation with the Resident Life Coordinator, Assistant Resident Life Coordinator, or Assistant Director.
Smoking, Tobacco, Vapor
USF is a tobacco-free, smoke-free, and vapor-free campus. USF is committed to providing a safe, healthy and enjoyable learning, living and working environment. Smoking and use of tobacco products are not allowed in any indoor or outdoor areas, including residence halls, parking garages, grounds, sidewalks or recreational areas. This policy also includes the use of e-cigarettes.
By becoming a tobacco, smoke and vapor free campus, USF hopes to promote overall health and wellness for the university community and create a more attractive and enjoyable campus experience by completely eliminating smoking and tobacco product use.
