What decorations are allowed?
Only 10% of the walls of a residence hall room or apartment may be covered with pictures, photos, posters, and/or other material; no decorations may be placed or hung from the ceiling. All wall decorations must be at least 24 inches from the ceiling. Curtains are not permitted. All exterior door and window decorations, other than message boards, that are visible from outside must be approved by the Director of Residence Life.

Materials unlikely to be rendered flameproof by ordinary treatment include natural leaves, tree branches, cornstalks, hay, cotton batting, and similar objects. Only artificial trees are permitted. For fire safety purposes, wires should be kept away from metallic parts on artificial trees. Decorative holiday lights are not allowed.
