Noise/Quiet Hours

In order to create an environment which allows students to gain the most from their time at Young Harris College, policies have been established which allow for both study and socialization. The right to sleep and study takes priority over all other activities and privileges. Each building has standard quiet hours from 11 p.m. - 10 a.m. Quiet hours are when noise should be kept to a minimum to facilitate sleep and study. Beyond such minimum hours, it is entirely up to the residents of each hall to modify these hours. Quiet hours are in effect 24 hours a day starting on the last day of class until the end of final exams each semester.

Although specific quiet hours exist, courtesy is expected at all times. When noise interferes with the ability to sleep, study or otherwise enjoy the living environment, it is each student’s responsibility to resolve the issue by first speaking with the person(s) responsible for the noise. If an agreed upon resolution is not established, an RA or RLC may be contacted to further address the problem.
