Rules and Regulations for All Students Under the Age of 19
The following rules and regulations pertain specifically to all high school students and/or students under the age of 19 years who are enrolled for any workshop, seminar, program, or class at the Eastman School of Music. We all work together to assure you a productive and safe stay.
-
Students are provided with accommodations in a supervised area of the Student Living Center and are not permitted at any time to be in living areas reserved for adult students.
-
Separate areas are maintained for male and for female students, and each student is restricted to his/her particular dormitory “house.”
-
Students may make use of all common, nonresident areas of the Student Living Center, such as the TV lounge, dining room, laundry room, and formal lounge, when such areas are available for student use.
-
Students observe an 11 p.m. curfew all nights of the week. Sunday through Thursday, students are expected to be in their own dormitory “house” at the onset of curfew and to be in their own rooms no later than one hour after the onset of curfew. On Friday and Saturday evenings, students are expected to be in their own dormitory “house” two hours after the onset of curfew and to be in their own rooms one hour after returning to their dormitory “house.” Counselors or other responsible officials of the Student Living Center or of the administration of the Eastman School of Music may alter curfew hours if circumstances warrant any change.
-
At all times, students are expected to remain on campus unless permission to leave has been authorized by a counselor, resident assistant, or the House Director. “Campus” is defined as consisting of the main buildings and annex of the Eastman School of Music, the Student Living Center, the Sibley Music Library, and the facilities of the Metrocenter Y. During morning and afternoon hours, it is assumed that students will be attending regularly scheduled classes and rehearsals, studying, and practicing within the facilities of the Eastman School of Music. Students are required to follow sign-out procedures established by responsible officials of the Student Living Center when leaving the Student Living Center after 6 p.m., or when they anticipate being absent from the Student Living Center after 6 p.m.
-
Students are not permitted to be absent overnight from the Student Living Center except by specific written instructions from a parent or legal guardian.
-
Students will be liable for damage to Eastman School of Music property. The use of tape and the driving of nails, screws, or tacks into walls or furniture is prohibited. No equipment may be moved out of the quarters assigned, and no equipment (other than occasional pieces such as bookcases, table, lamp, fan) may be added without permission.
-
Rooms are to be used only as living quarters. Students are not permitted to modify, authorize, or order the modification of their rooms or other parts of the building.
-
Commercial use of any part of the residence facilities or grounds and solicitation anywhere on the premises by students residing therein or by any other persons are strictly forbidden, except as authorized by the appropriate University agencies.
-
It is understood that the Eastman School of Music shall not be liable for any damage, loss, or theft of any property anywhere on the premises. Students are not permitted to have bicycles, skateboards, motorbikes, mopeds, motorcycles, or motor vehicles without first obtaining written permission from the Associate Dean of Community and Continuing Education. Bicycles are not allowed in the Student Living Center. The School reserves the right to deny such permission when it considers possession of such a vehicle unnecessary.
-
The Eastman Student Living Center, during the summer, accommodates students who participate in a wide variety of programs, including high school students in the Eastman Community Music School, collegiate students who are pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees, and special students who enroll in a variety of workshops. Every effort is made to provide for the needs of all of our residents. Students who have exhibited disregard for the residential community are subject to disciplinary sanctions or expulsion from the Eastman School of Music. Again, we need your assistance in maintaining a quiet environment needed by our graduate scholars.
-
Possession or use of firearms, explosive materials, other weapons, unauthorized possession of master keys, tampering with fire or emergency equipment, or failure to comply with a reasonable request of University officials acting in performance of their duties are contrary to University regulations. Students who have exhibited disregard for these and other University regulations are subject to disciplinary sanctions or expulsion from the Eastman School of Music.
-
Students who commit acts that are illegal under the law are subject to disciplinary sanctions or expulsion from the Eastman School of Music. Such acts would include theft, disorderly conduct, possession or use of alcoholic beverages, or the use, manufacture, sale, or possession of illegal drugs.
-
It is the University’s intention to assure all reasonable privacy in student rooms. In the interest of the health and general welfare of all residents and buildings, however, the University reserves the right to enter a room for verification of occupancy; for performance of housekeeping or maintenance functions; for health and safety inspections; to protect life, limb, or property; or to assure compliance with state law and University regulations.
-
Each student is responsible for the key(s) to the room assigned. Loss of a room key will necessitate a charge of $25 in order to change the lock and provide the student with a new key. Loss of a house key will necessitate a $75 charge to replace the locks on all of the doors in that house.
-
Any change in occupancy must have prior approval of the Area Director. Students will be fully responsible for following check-in, check-out, and room change procedures.
-
Occupancy of any room is limited to students assigned to the room. Guests or visitors are permitted in the Student Living Center only with permission of a counselor, resident assistant, or the House Director, and no visitors or guests are permitted under any circumstances after curfew.
-
The meal plan is nontransferable. It may not be used by another person, nor may food be obtained to give to another person.
