Noise

The primary mission of Pitzer College is education and in pursuit of this goal, students have the right to quiet time in which to read, study, or sleep. Thus, all residence halls have quiet hours from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekends. Extended quiet hours are in place during the week before finals and final exams. All other hours should be viewed as consideration hours, emphasizing mutual respect and courtesy.  

If you are being disturbed by noise at any time, you have the right to request a decrease in the level of noise. If the person or persons causing the noise do not cooperate, you may want to contact a ResLife staff member to assist you. If an individual severely disrupts the community through repeated or significant noise disturbances, that individual is subject to the conduct process. As an academic community, quiet hours are instituted during the last week of classes as well as finals week. Please be aware of others’ need to concentrate, sleep and study.  

• During the last week of classes there are partial quiet hours which are 7 p.m. to 9 am.  

• During finals week there are 24-hour quiet hours until the residence halls close.  

• Failure to comply with partial quiet hours or 24-hour quiet hours can result in fines or other sanctions.
