Residence Life Philosophy
...
Students are not permitted to have pets in the residence hall. The only exception is harmless fish. For further information and university policy on emotional support animals, please see EMU Emotional Support Animal Policy and Procedure.
Quiet Hours
The residence halls are used for studying, sleeping and socializing. A balance of these activities must be maintained so that the needs of individuals on the hall can be met. All residents are expected to refrain from causing any noise or disruption that would infringe on the needs of fellow students to study or sleep during the hours from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. both inside and outside the building areas. Courtesy hours are in effect throughout the day. Residence life staff reserves the right to confiscate equipment that is disruptive to the community when a student does not respond to requests. Students are asked to be responsive to the needs of others. In the case of excessive noise violations, a $10 per incident fine may be given.

EMU undergraduate residential students’ ID cards will provide access to the residential building where they live, but will not work to access other on-campus residence halls outside of “Open Hours.”main entry areas of residential buildings on campus, and to the particular hall where the student resides. Any person who does not live on a hall is considered a visitor or guest. See above for visitor/guest guidelines.
The following hours have been designated as open for visitation: Sunday-Thursday (noon -11 p.m.) and Friday and Saturday (noon - 1 a.m.) See “Guest Housing” above for more information.
