Residential Life Policy: Holiday Decorations

Holiday decorations can make the residence halls more festive in addition to providing for the expression of religious preference. If you choose to decorate for any holidays or plan on hosting social gatherings, the following guidelines must be followed:

No open flames, no candles, no sterno (food warming-pan fuel cans).
No real trees or wreaths. Artificial trees and wreaths are acceptable as long as they are non-combustible.
Do not place strings of lights on metal trees.
Any lights must be UL-approved and in good condition. Lights must be kept clear of other combustibles.
No lights may be used on building exteriors.
