Because many balconies of student rooms and walkways are in public view, balconies/walkways must be kept neat, uncluttered, and safe. Items on balconies must be wholly contained within the balcony (including decorative lights, flags, tapestries, etc.). Items on walkways may not interfere with normal pedestrian traffic and ashtrays on balconies must be emptied/cleaned regularly.
The following items are the only items permitted on balconies and walkways:
· All-weather furniture and hammocks
· Plants, wind chimes, wind socks, sun catchers, string lights, in-season holiday decorations
· Bicycles
· One small milk crate for short-term use (placed next to wall).
The following items are permitted on private balconies only and are not permitted on walkways:
· Drying racks
· Plastic storage containers, such as storage bins (placed next to wall). The Residential Life
staff reserves the right to limit the size and number of containers on a balcony.
University furniture may not be left unattended on the balconies/walkways. Obstructing the view of the balcony from the outside by hanging items (flags, towels, tapestries, etc.) over the railing or propping objects against it is strictly prohibited. Writing or painting on windows or use of decorative substances such as fake snow, is prohibited.
Students who share responsibility for a balcony are encouraged to communicate with one another about items placed on the balcony area. All students who live adjacent to a balcony will be held responsible for splitting fines, or if they choose, reimbursing one another for fines resulting from violations. Staff members will issue fines without warning. If violations are not corrected within 24 hours, additional fines and referral for judicial action will ensue. Building ledges that may only be accessed from a student room through a window are not considered balconies. Residents may not climb onto nor place property onto these areas, even if there are railings on the ledges.
