Electrical Cords

Only an Underwriters’ Laboratory approved multi-plug with its own circuit breaker with reset button may be used in residence halls. Extension cords are prohibited. Students may not place electrical cords under carpets or across their doorway threshold or attach them to the ceiling. When leaving for any extended period of time, students must unplug all appliances.

Students may not tape over, tamper with or disconnect a circuit breaker, fuse, telephone circuit box, public address system speaker or wiring, smoke detector, electrical socket, light fixture, cable, or switch. Stringed holiday lights are not permitted on ceilings.
