There aren’t a lot of rules in PLU’s residence halls – just enough to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. We think you’ll find our policies will give you room to be yourself, while fostering respect for your fellow residents.
PLU Master Housing & Meal Agreement
Traditional Hall Housing Guide
Alcoholic Beverages: The use or possession of alcoholic beverages is prohibited on campus and in the residence halls. Empty alcohol containers and brewing equipment are similarly prohibited.
Furnishings and Responsibility for Institutional Property: University furnishings may not be removed from the students’ rooms nor moved from one room to another nor one hall to another.
Guests: Guests may stay no more than: four consecutive nights, any four nights out of seven, or any eight nights out of thirty. Guests must abide by all university policies and the hosting PLU student(s) is responsible for their guest’s behavior.
Keys: Keys are issued upon check-in at no charge and must be returned whenever the student’s housing contract is terminated or a change of rooms takes place. Lost keys must be reported to the Office of Residential Life, UC Suite 161, who will submit a service request to replace the key(s). A fee will be assessed for re-coring the room door lock and/or replacing lost keys.
Personal Property: The University will make every reasonable effort to protect the personal property of residents, but will not be liable for articles lost, stolen, or damaged by fire, water, hear and/or other natural disasters. When storing goods in University space, students assume the risk of loss or damage.
Residency Requirement: Pacific Lutheran University requires that all single, full-time students live in university housing unless:
Room Alterations: Occupants are not permitted to paint, apply contact or wall paper, alter or remodel any student room or public area in the residence hall.
Roommates: Residential Life will not knowingly pair individuals with an intimate relationship as roommates. If at any time Residential Life becomes aware of a pairing of roommates with an intimate relationship, action will be taken to reassign one or both of the roommates.
Solicitation: Residential Life, while supporting worthwhile causes, makes it a priority to safeguard our residents' privacy. If your club is interested in leaving information or would like help from one of our Residence Halls, please be sure to check our Solicitation and Publicity Protocol.
Visitation Policy: Between the hours of 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 a.m. visitation if unrestricted by the University, but is contingent upon mutual agreement between roommates. Between 2:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. visitation is restricted to persons of the same gender. Visitation in Kreidler Hall and South Hall will not be restricted. Residents of all halls will abide by the University’s Guest Policy
