Community Policies
Residents and non-residential students are expected to act in accordance with all Barnard College policies while in the residence halls. Residential Life & Housing staff are responsible for ensuring the safety and security of the residential community and will document & respond to incidents in which a policy is alleged to have been violated.
The Residential Life & Housing staff reserves the right to confiscate items that are prohibited in the residence halls. Confiscated items will not be returned to students.
Respect in Residential Communities
Students will respect the right of all community members to cleanliness, security, privacy, space, quiet hours for study and sleep, equal use and access to room/suite and hall facilities, and generally to an environment conducive to learning and undergraduate college life.
Residents living on campus have the responsibility to provide and the right to expect: a living space that is free of any actions or behaviors that interfere with the roommate or suitemates' privacy, study habits, or sleep; the ability to enter the room/suite whenever one would like unless other provisions are agreed upon in advance by all parties; an environment free of physical and/or emotional harassment; the ability to speak openly; an environment where one is treated considerately and thoughtfully; to address problems and concerns maturely.
