NSU Residential Living Guide 2025-2026

NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY 31 from midnight to 9:00 a.m. It is your right as well as your responsibility to let your roommates and neighbors know if their activity is disrupting you. Stereos, radios, televisions, musical instruments, telephones, and all conversations must be kept to levels that will not interfere with the study or sleep of other residents. No drums or electrically amplified musical instruments, including microphones, may be used in student rooms. During final exam periods, quiet hours are 24 hours a day. These dates will be determined by the NSU academic calendar and communicated ahead of time by Residence Life staff. Violating the 24-hour quiet hours will result in conduct action per each occurrence. Criminal Convictions Policy Applications for on-campus housing are subject to review by the Dean of Students. Pursuant to such a review, on-campus housing may be denied if there are concerns about the safety and security of the student and/or the on-campus population. All criminal record statements submitted as part of the housing application will be reviewed and additional information may be requested. In the event of a conviction occurring after the submission of the Agreement, it must be reported in writing to the Office of University Housing within ten (10) days of the conviction. At that time, the committee will review the conviction and make a determination about the continuation of on-campus housing. See B.15 page 38 of the NSU Student Handbook, this code states in part: while enrolled at NSU, students have a continuing duty to disclose all of the above, along with any arrests or pending criminal charges within 10 days of any arrest or charges are filed. Each incident will be judged on a case by case basis. Disruption of Community Students must be aware of how their behavior affects the community at all times. Disruption of smooth community living or infringements on the rights of others may result in conduct action. Students who require the use of an assistance animal (service animal or an emotional support animal) must follow all university guidelines as outlined in NSU’s Service and Support Animal Policy. Providing the Office of Student Disability Services with a formal request for an emotional support animal (ESA) and supporting documentation from a treating provider does not automatically warrant approval for a support animal. Pursuant the NSU Service and Support Animal Policy, nova. edu/disability-services/service-and-supportanimal-policy.html, approved emotional support animals (ESAs) are restricted to the assigned campus residence of the individual and may not accompany the individual to other areas of the university without permission. An approved ESA must remain confined to the assigned campus residence of the individual except for trips outside to visit relief areas. Since ESAs are not trained service animals, ESAs may not be taken into any other public area of any campus location, including, but not limited to, the University Center, dining areas, lab, classrooms, and administrative buildings. All questions related to service animals or emotional support animals (ESAs) on NSU campus locations should be directed to the Office of Student Disability Services via email: disabilityservices@nova.edu. More information may be found at nova.edu/disability-services. Beds Raising or altering beds by any method, such as, concrete blocks or bed risers, is not allowed in any housing facility. Beds in some residence hall communities can be raised, lowered or bunked by placing a work order request. Constructing lofts is prohibited in NSU’s housing facilities. Waterbeds and other water furniture are prohibited. Courtesy and Quiet Hours In all residence halls, courtesy hours and reasonable noise level are expected at all times.
