Residence Hall Policies

1. Alcohol

All residents are expected to know and comply with all State laws and guidelines regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages on University premises as outlined in the University policy (E11.203 dated Sept. 1990) and the Community Standards.  The legal drinking age in the State of Hawai`i is 21 years.

A. Residents and/or guests who are not 21 years of age or older may not possess, consume or be under the influence of alcohol. Possession of an open or empty alcohol container shall be interpreted as being consumed. If alcohol can be seen or smelled it can be assumed that a policy violation has occurred. 

B. Alcohol must be consumed within the confines of the resident’s room/apartment. Any and all alcohol outside the room/apartment is strictly prohibited, including, but not limited to, in parking lots, couryards, BBQ areas, etc. Containers of alcohol that are transported through public and common areas must remain unopened.

C. Residents and/or guests of legal drinking age may possess or consume alcohol within the privacy of their room or apartment, so long as ALL guests and occupants of the room/apartment are 21 years of age or older. In order for a guest of legal drinking age to consume alcohol, the resident host must be of legal drinking age. University or Student Housing Services staff, acting in their official capacity, may request a government-issued picture identification to verify resident(s) and/or guest(s) ages.

D. Behavior, such as disruptive or destructive behavior, or conditions necessitating extra care, resulting from excessive consumption of alcohol is prohibited. “Drinking games” or any activity that promotes excessive alcohol consumption are strictly prohibited.

E. Anyone who is 21 years of age or older is prohibited from distributing alcohol to anyone below the legal drinking age. The State of Hawai`i’s Social Host Liability Law makes it illegal to host underage drinking in a residence, and holds adults liable if they provide alcohol to a minor who then injures another person. Adults can be prosecuted for giving alcohol to minors. Resident hosts will be held responsible for distributing alcohol to anyone, resident and/or guest, under the age of 21.

F. Common source containers are strictly prohibited and will be confiscated. Common source containers include, but are not limited to: kegs, party balls, water jugs, jungle juice, beer bongs, etc.

G. The sale of alcohol for a form of payment, donation, or other benefit is prohibited. The advertisement of parties/gatherings where alcohol will be consumed is not allowed.

H. Regardless of age, all use of alcohol is prohibited in the four Hale Aloha residence halls and in public areas outside and outside of these buildings.  

2. Appliances

A. Use of cooking appliances such as sandwich makers, George Foreman grills, coffee makers, and toasters is strictly prohibited in residence hall rooms, but may be stored in residence hall rooms for use in community kitchen areas. All appliances must have an “auto shut off” feature, and, when applicable, appliances must be energy star compliant.  

B. Irons must be used on ironing boards. Use of irons on any other surface is strictly prohibited. Irons must not be left unattended, and must have an “auto shut off” feature.

3. Arson

Arson is any willful or malicious burning or attempt to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.

4. Abuse and Assault

Our on-campus residential communities are places in which all people should feel welcome, valued, and safe. A climate of fear or intimidation is not acceptable. All community members deserve to be treated with respect.

A. Physical Abuse/Assault: Physical Assault is defined as the act or instance which endangers the physical safety of another individual or group.

Acts of sexual assault include, but are not limited to, indecent exposure; touching of a sexual nature like forced kissing; fondling and/or rubbing up against another person in a sexual way, even if it is over clothes; forced oral, anal, or vaginal contact/penetration with a mouth, tongue, finger, penis, or object.

B. Community/Public Areas: To ensure a safe, healthy environment, a reasonable level of cleanliness is expected in community areas. Assistance in keeping community spaces clean, such as restrooms, lounges, and lobbies is greatly appreciated. While Student Housing Services provides regular cleaning services, a community that fails to keep community spaces reasonably clean may lose privileges to that space or receive a community bill for costs associated with pest treatment, repairs, and/or cleaning. Trash left in community/public spaces may result in community billing.

9. Common and Public Area Guidelines/Loitering

Common and public area guidelines are those that govern any area other than a residence hall room or apartment.

A.  Loitering: If at any time Student Housing Services staff or their designee such as Campus Security, determines that any common area needs to be cleared of residents, guests, or any activity, residents must comply with this request. 

B. Gatherings: Student Housing Services staff reserves the right to ask resident hosts to discontinue any gathering that does not comply with community standards.

 20. ResNet Policy

 Student Housing Services encourages responsible computing. Responsible computing is ethical, reflects academic honesty, and shows restraint in the consumption of shared resources. It demonstrates respect for intellectual property, ownership of data, system security mechanisms, and an individual’s right to privacy and freedom from intimidation, harassment and unwarranted annoyance. The ResNet policy has been established to provide a set of rules and guidelines for the proper and responsible use of the University of Hawaii and Student Housing Services computing and network resources, effective protection of individual users, equitable access, and proper management of these resources. These guidelines are intended to supplement, not replace, existing laws, regulations, agreements, policies, and contracts, which currently apply to these services. Users of the Student Housing Services ResNet are bound by the University of Hawaii Executive Policy concerning the Management of Information Technology Resources.

The policy can be found at:      www.hawaii.edu/infotech/policies/itpolicy.html

ResNet users are additionally bound by the following rules and regulations intended to preserve the integrity and accessibility of all computing resources:

A. Residents are responsible for ensuring that their computers are virus-free and secure before connecting to ResNet. Unintentional violations of ResNet policy due to a compromised computer may still result in sanctions.

B. The residential network may only be used for legal purposes and to access only those systems, software, and data for which the user is authorized. Accessing or providing access to copyrighted material including but not limited to music, movies, and software is prohibited.

J. Respecting the rights of other users is required at all times on the network. These rights include, but are not limited to, privacy, freedom of expression, and freedom from harassment.

K. Administrators of the residential network have the authority to control or refuse access to the network to anyone who violates these policies or who threatens the rights of other users. Administrators have the authority to restrict or suspend network access without notice for a user or computer that is believed to have been the source of an alleged violation pending investigation of the violation and satisfactory resolution of the complaint. 

 L. Student Housing Services assumes the responsibility for the maintenance of computing resources provided within Student Housing Services facilities.
