Being responsible stewards to our spaces is a key component to exemplify what living in community is all about. Residence Halls serve an important role to nurture friendships and community and are often used throughout the year in many different ways. Bethel University Staff are committed to preventing as many issues as possible and to responding quickly to problems that do arise.
Below are specific University policies that all students are expected to follow and abide by, failure to do so will result in disciplinary actions:
Bethel University reserves the right to fine a student for behavior detrimental to the living environment such as water fights, vandalism, excessive noise, stealing lounge furniture, leaving trash in the hallways, or other disrespectful actions. Discipline problems will be dealt with through the normal Disciplinary Policy and Procedure. Fines may be incurred if the Residence Life Office feels it is necessary.
It should be noted that housing policies are intended to assist the community in smooth operations, to protect the rights of students, and to prevent dangerous or unhealthy situations. As such, students need to abide by the policies established in the Student Handbook, the university catalog, and the housing agreement. It is hoped that these policies will not be seen as restrictive, but rather as common courtesies necessary to live harmoniously in the community.
