Residential Life

Decorating

Scotch tape, adhesive tape, hooks, putty, and glue are not to be used for hanging decorations as they severely damage walls and may necessitate repainting an entire room at your expense. You may not paint.

Holiday decorations

Cut trees are not permitted. Other decorations must be flame retardant; check tags or wrappers prior to purchase. Decorations must not be placed in front of exits. If lights are utilized, they must be from a remote source. All lights must be tagged as having been approved by Underwriters Laboratories. Discard damaged light sets (frayed wires, loose connections, broken/cracked sockets). All electrical decorations must be unplugged when unattended.

The use of open flame, such as candles, is strictly prohibited. Winter seasonal holiday decorations composed of food items should be removed and disposed of before the Winter Break.
