Amplified Sound
The use of amplified sound has the potential of interfering with the University's primary mission to educate. The use of any type of sound amplification system by student organizations or individual students must have prior approval from the Student Life/Student Activities Office. Approval will only be granted if the planned event will not disrupt or disturb other University activities, including class hours, reading days, final examinations, other testing periods, or other University events. Specific locations have been established on campus for the use of amplified sound.
The following policy will be followed for the use of sound amplification during student organization sponsored events
- The use of sound amplification will be coordinated and approved by the Student Life/Student Activities Office. The office staff will determine the appropriateness of sound system use.
- It is important to realize that the University has neighbors. Therefore, the use of amplified sound must take into consideration the needs of the community.
If noise complaints are received, the Student Life/Student Activities Office and/or University Police will respond and they have the authority to require the sponsors to lower the sound level, or if necessary, terminate the sound amplification.
