Fireworks
Fireworks are prohibited in the residence halls or residential complexes. Possessing, storing, or discharging firecrackers, rockets, cherry bombs, or any other
incendiary device in or around the residence hall complex is prohibited. Any resident using or possessing fireworks is subject to the University conduct process
and potential revocation of his or her License Agreement.
Flammable Materials
Residents are prohibited from possessing, storing, and using highly flammable materials such as hookah coals, chemicals, automobile fluids, gasoline, camping stove
fuel, and starter fluids. In addition, residents must keep their rooms clear of clutter that poses a fire danger, such as large quantities of paper, rags, or trash.
Fire Alarm and Emergency Systems and Equipment
Sprinklers associated with residence hall fire safety systems may not be tampered with, including hanging decorations or other objects from them. In the case
that a sprinkler is set off accidentally or intentionally, the individual(s) involved will be responsible for all costs associated with cleanup and damage and will
be subject to disciplinary action.
Penal Code 148.4 makes it a misdemeanor to trigger a false fire alarm, contribute to or initiate a false report of a fire, or tamper with/destroy fire equipment.
Residents found violating this regulation will be subject to disciplinary action and may be issued a “Notice to Appear” citation by the University Police Department.
A “Notice to Appear” citation may result in a required court appearance, resulting in a fine or up to one year in jail.
Room Capacity
For your safety, the maximum number of people allowed in your room or suite at one time is limited. Exceeding this limit poses fire hazards, blocks emergency
egress, and may result in policy violations. If you are hosting guests, be mindful of noise, space, and your roommate/suitemate’s comfort and need t also hosts
guests in the living unit. Despite adhering to occupancy guidelines, if hosting guests violate noise policies or create roommate/suitemate discomfort guests can
be asked to leave the room/unit.
• Room capacity limits include both residents and their guests.
• Suites and apartments must not exceed the total suite capacity, even if
individual room limits seem within range.
• Residents may be asked to reduce occupancy immediately if room
capacity is exceeded.
• Repeated violations may result in conduct action or visitation restrictions.

fire code and account for number of exits/egress points, permanent
furniture, and local county/city fire guidelines.
