As more and more residents bring personal items to decorate their residence hall room, the Office of Residential Life would like to inform families of the following regarding floor lamps.
We are encouraging all residential students to bring floor lamps with them for their rooms since we will be phasing them out. As stated in the Guide to Residence Hall Living:
- Residents are permitted to bring personal items, such as rugs, throw pillows, curtains and bedspreads. However, residents are encouraged to fireproof all such items.
- Residents are not permitted to drape, or otherwise cover, lights or ceilings in any manner.
Specifically for the floor lamps, please note that residents are prohibited from possessing or using the following items in the residence halls:
- Candles, incense or anything with an open flame
- Halogen, spiders & oil lamps
- Non-Surge Protected extension cords or octopuses cords
