Review of Behavior Standards <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The policies and procedures that are enforced in the residence halls have been established to help maintain a cooperative living environment that supports both the academic mission of Marymount University, as well as allows individuals enough freedom to maintain a comfortable lifestyle. All members of the residence halls will be held accountable for observing the rules and policies contained in this publication, the Student Community Conduct Code<\/u>, and the terms and conditions of each housing agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n A resident of the residence halls is expected to abide by the terms and conditions of the residence hall \u00a0housing agreement, including the behavior standards listed in this section.<\/span><\/p>\n The residence hall behavior standards are enforced with the procedures described in this section. They apply to students living in the residence halls and are in addition to the university\u2019s general Standard of\u00a0 Conduct for students. The focus of these policies is to create a comfortable, quiet community living environment that supports the pursuit of academic and personal goals of students rather than to restrict freedoms. A secondary focus of the residence hall behavior standards is to assist students in becoming more responsible members of the community.<\/span><\/p>\n It is important to realize that formal policies attempt to set standards to ensure that community members live together in a cooperative fashion. These policies, however, constitute only a small portion of what is necessary to ensure that residents respect each other and are considerate of each other\u2019s feelings, needs and concerns. Successful residence hall operations require the residents of each community to take the time regularly to discuss the positive and negative effects of happenings in their community and come to a consensus on actions needed to solve problems.<\/span><\/p>\n Appropriate Residence Hall Conduct <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Participating in any conduct covered by the following policies will subject individuals to action taken as \u00a0described in the following section. These policies apply to the behavior of all residents and their guests while in the residence halls, the grounds adjacent to the residence halls, and all residence hall sponsored on or off-campus activities.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to those policies outlined in the Student Community Conduct Code<\/u>, the following actions and\u00a0 behaviors are specifically prohibited in the residence halls:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Residents are expected to inform their guests of the policies governing behavior in the residence halls.\u00a0 Also, residents should make their guests aware that guests who fail to observe residence hall policies may be denied access to the residence halls and are subject to action through the Office of Student\u00a0 Conduct and Academic Integrity. Residents are responsible for their guest’s actions and may be held accountable for their guest’s actions through the student conduct process.<\/span><\/p>\n Review and Resolution of Misconduct <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Office of Student Living may take reasonable action against a student when the evidence indicates that the student has been involved in a violation of a residence hall policy. When determining a\u00a0 reasonable resolution to an incident, the Office of Student Living will take into consideration the interests of the residence hall community, the university community, the student who violated the policy, and previously documented incidents involving each student and residence hall policy violations.<\/span><\/p>\n When a residence hall policy violation occurs, one or more of the following processes of resolution may\u00a0 be followed:<\/span><\/p>\n Marymount University Campus Residency Policy <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Undergraduates attending Marymount University are required to reside in University housing or University approved housing. Exceptions to the campus residency policy may be granted to students under certain conditions. The eight (8) conditions that can exempt a student from\u00a0 the campus residency policy are:<\/span><\/p>\n Students requesting an exemption based on off-campus residence must provide supporting documentation such as a signed lease in their name This exemption only applies to students in their Senior year who are in good academic standing<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Non-Compliance <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The campus residency requirement is a university policy. As such, compliance is a condition of a\u00a0 student\u2019s admission to Marymount University. Students who are included in the Campus Residency\u00a0 Policy must do one of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n Students who do not follow one of the two compliance options by the stated deadlines will be given an \u00a0administrative double room assignment in university housing. The semester rate of the assigned room, as well as the cost of a meal plan, will be charged to the student\u2019s account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Review of Behavior Standards The policies and procedures that are enforced in the residence halls have been established to help maintain a cooperative living environment that supports both the academic mission of Marymount University, as well as allows individuals enough freedom to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.
