Tiger Paw Student Handbook

LOITERING POLICY

Although the University encourages social interaction and the free exchange of ideas, the University reserves the right to set the time and place of public gatherings so as to maintain an environment on campus that is conducive to learning.  The University prohibits loitering near academic buildings, residence halls, campus apartments and the cafeteria.  This policy applies to individual students, student organizations and campus visitors. 

Gathering near residence halls, campus apartments, the cafeteria and other designated “No Loitering” locations is prohibited unless specifically approved by the Director of Student Life and Housing.  Specifically, gathering is prohibited within 50 feet of every residence hall and campus apartment, and within 100 feet of every academic building and the cafeteria. In addition, blocking the entrance to any campus building is prohibited.

Individual students and recognized student organizations wishing to gather on campus may do so near the steps of the Student Union Building (SUB). Permission must be requested in writing at least 48 hours in advance from the Director of Student Activities.  Campus visitors wishing to gather on campus or distribute material to students must request permission at least ten days in advance from the Director of Student Life and Housing.

Any student that violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.  Campus visitors that violate the policy will be banned from the University campus.
