Quiet Hours
It is important that quiet hours are followed out of respect for your neighbours and community. Every building and hall/floor in residence has standardized quiet hours. They are as follows:
Study Spaces
There are study lounges located in every building. Lounges are spaces where quiet talking and working in a group is acceptable. Study lounges are spaces where residents are expected to engage in quiet, individual study. These lounges are provided for students so they have a distraction-free area to complete homework and study.

Please note: Quiet hours require a reasonable amount of quiet. While it is expected that residents keep volume to a minimum, staff will do their best to encourage quiet and address concerns. The department cannot guarantee complete quiet and it is important to remember we require your co-operation and respect when enforcing this policy.

Academic advisors from a variety of colleges regularly visit residence, and the SLS works with residence to provide special programming.
