Special Note: As many residence hall fires occur because of poor wiring on appliances and overloaded extension cords inside individual rooms, extension cords with built-in circuit breakers are strongly recommended. Extension cords may not be run under carpets or looped over curtains or bed spreads.

Some items not allowed in the residence halls for safety and wellness reasons are as follows:

candles and incense (or anything with an open flame)
pets (that are not fish)
hot plates, electric frying pans, indoor grills (this includes the George Foreman style grills), deep fryers
ceiling fans
space heaters
halogen lamps
firearms or martial arts weapons (or anything that resembles them)
hazardous materials
alcohol/controlled substance signs and other paraphernalia
