Outside Noise Policy

Quiet Hours–Quiet hours shall be enforced outside of the residence halls every day of the week from midnight until 8 a.m. in the designated quiet zones. All other hours are courtesy hours. People will be able to assemble or meet in the quiet zones. However, any noise originating form these designated areas that is determined to be excessive and disturbing to the environment outside, near or inside the residence hall will not be tolerated.

Quiet Zones–Quiet zones are areas outside of all the residence halls and apartments. Violations of this policy may be subject to the disciplinary procedures outlined in the Winthrop University Student Conduct Code Rationale.

The quiet zones are the outside areas of buildings where people live; and therefore, consideration for others within this residential community is an essential element. Quiet zones exist for each of the eight residence halls to assure consistency in the expectation and enforcement of the outside noise policy.
