Room and Apartment Decorations
Precautions must be taken when decorating your space to ensure personal safety and to avoid damaging the residence halls. Resident students are responsible for removing decorations and restoring the room to its original condition before the semester break.
- No natural holiday/Christmas trees are permitted in the student rooms or corridors. Non-combustible artificial trees may be used in rooms and lounges.
- Only LED lights may be used as they produce less heat and consume less electricity. Do not leave LED lights unattended. When leaving the room, unplug the lights. Use of extension cords is prohibited.
- Only fire-retardant materials are permitted within the residence halls. Generally, the expense is no greater than dangerously flammable goods.
- No items may be hung from the ceiling, pipes, sprinklers, or smoke detectors.
- Snow sprays, watercolors and magic markers must not be applied to any surface of the building.
- Use only Underwriter Laboratory (UL) approved equipment and materials.
- Do not block exits or decorate corridor lights and fire detectors
