Alverno College is committed to providing an environment conducive to study and sleep. Residents are responsible for working with one another to create an environment that supports multiple needs and schedules.
Courtesy hours are in effect for 24 hours. This means that if a resident is disrupted by your noise and notifies you, you need to respect the request and adjust the volume accordingly.
Quiet hours require that noise not be heard outside your room door.
Quiet Hours are:
10 p.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday through Thursday
Midnight to 10 a.m. Friday through Saturday
Residents who are unable to respect quiet hours may be required to meet with the Residence Hall Coordinator and/or the Director of Residence Life, or they may be referred to the Dean of Students Office. During mid-semester and final assessment weeks, extended quiet hours are in effect.
Clare Hall Residents: Violation of quiet hours may result in forfeiting your Clare Hall privileges.

Clare Hall residents will complete a neighbor agreement that will discuss noise between rooms and how to talk to each other about noise concerns.
