Regulations

All residents are responsible for abiding by these regulations, in addition to all state and local laws, and the UWG Student Conduct Code.

Policies below labeled with an asterisk* denote that they are included in the Student Wolf Code. These policies may be further specified for Housing property. It is important that you read and understand all policies fully.

All students are provided with a MyUWG e-mail account. It is the student's responsibility to check his or her e-mail daily. Housing & Residence Life (HRL) conduct charges will be sent to students' e-mail accounts from a system called Maxient.

Every organizational chapter is also expected to abide by the Conduct Code as set forth in the Registered Student Organizations Handbook.

All violations of the policies, laws, and codes will be subject to the UWG conduct process, in addition to local and state judicial processes when applicable.

Alcohol (Section 7.00 of Student Code)

Georgia state law forbids the consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages by persons under the age of twenty-one (21).

In the Village, alcohol may only be consumed by residents and guests who are of the legal drinking age and are inside the house or on the immediately adjacent concrete patio or porch. No glass bottles are permitted outside of houses.

If individuals consume alcohol at a chapter house in the Village, and then are involved in an incident at another area on/near campus, the chapter may be included in a University conduct investigation.

Cleanliness

Please refer to the posted Facilities and Grounds Maintenance Policies regarding standards both within the house and the surrounding area (these policies will be made available during the academic term).

*Damages (Section 12.00 of Student Code)
Students will be held responsible for any and all damages to, loss of, and/or unapproved alterations to University property within/around their assigned chapter house.

Offensive Material

The Housing and Residence Life department encourages and welcomes students to decorate their room/ chapter house in a manner in which they would be comfortable, with discretion. Space outside the interior of one's assigned room (e.g., visible through windows, and door exteriors) is considered public space and is maintained under the jurisdiction of Housing and Residence Life. Residents have the right to approach anyone who displays a decoration which they believe to be offensive or obscene in order to discuss their concern. Students may be asked to remove offensive material from public view.

*Disorderly Conduct (Section 4.00 of Student Code)

Behavior that may not be specified within the Student Wolf Code, including but not limited to: water/ shaving cream fights (pranks), non-compliance with a request from a HRL staff member, etc. will not be tolerated and could result in conduct action and dismissal from University Housing. Unwelcome and offensive language may result in conduct action if it is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it denies or limits an individual's ability to work, or to participate in or benefit from an educational program or activity.

Doors

In accordance with fire safety practices, exterior doors to chapter houses are to be kept closed at all times. Exceptions will be made for certain situations including University cleaning, move out/in weekend, approved and registered social events, and/or with the Village Housing staff (GV Manager, GV RLC, or other full- time staff) approved.

At the University, a guest is defined as any individual (s) who is not an active member of a specific chapter, or who is not assigned an active access card to a specific access card, which resides in Village.

Guests are permitted only at the request of the residents, who then become responsible for their guests’ conduct. Guests are expected to comply with all state and University regulations and policies. Guests are permitted only at the request of the residents of the room. Individuals who are not residents may be asked to leave the Village if they are unable to demonstrate they are guests of a chapter resident or on University business. They may also be required to leave if they are violating policies, damaging property, or show potential to cause harm to themselves or others.

Guest privileges are to be exercised with concern for others’ right to privacy. No student shall be denied access to, or use of, his/her room at any time, or be placed under undue hardship by the presence of a guest.

Guests are not to be in possession of a resident’s room key or student ID.

Overnight Guests

**An individual (including active chapter members) who is not a contracted resident of a specific chapter house is considered a guest for the purposes of the following policy.**

A guest is allowed to stay overnight three (3) consecutive nights. The HRL Office highly encourages a resident to speak with their sisters/brothers prior to the guest staying for any length of time.

Cohabitation in a chapter house is prohibited. Cohabitation is defined as behavior indicating an occupant is sharing his/her assigned space (or common areas of the house) with a person who is not contracted to the house. Cohabitation is also defined as a guest’s presence on a regular or continued basis that may infringe upon the contracted students’ right to privacy, sleep, or study.
