In order to protect residents and guests from accidental injury, the university prohibits the use or possession of weapons or munitions in the residence halls. Weapons include, but are not limited to, guns of any type (including paintball, BB and stun), ammunition, knives, spears, arrows, clubs, swords, nunchuks, etc.<\/p>\n

However, Housing and Residential Life located in lower Walnut Hall offer and maintain a secure weapons storage facility at no expense to on-campus resident students. To receive a weapons storage locker the student must agree and sign the Weapons Storage Agreement\/Contract<\/a> and return it to the Housing and Residential Life office.<\/p>\n

Each time the student wishes to gain access to the assigned storage locker, the student is required to furnish their photo ID to the Public Safety office in exchange for the key.<\/p>\n

Additionally, students are prohibited from possessing or carrying a firearm, pistol or dangerous weapon while representing or participating in any activity sanctioned or recognized by 91心頭利, either on or off campus.<\/p>\n

Exceptions<\/h3>\n

Possessing or carrying a firearm, pistol or dangerous weapon is allowed in certain circumstances and locations on campus.<\/p>\n

Weapons Storage Area<\/h4>\n

91心頭利 has established a weapons storage area located in lower Walnut Hall. The storage area is the only physical campus space where firearms may be stored. All firearms stored in this area must be unloaded and completely enclosed in a case. The storage area is regulated by the Department of Public Safety. Storage lockers are assigned upon request and completion of the “Weapons Storage Agreement.” Firearms that are unloaded and completely enclosed in a case may be transported directly to and from the weapons storage area to any campus parking facility.<\/p>\n

Student Violations<\/h4>\n

Students that violate this policy will be referred to the University Conduct Officer. Depending on the nature of the violation, sanctions may be imposed by the University Conduct Officer, which include, but are not limited to, suspension and expulsion.<\/p>\n
