Staying in the Residence Halls
- A student must live in one of the University residence halls unless he is living with parents or
other close relatives (approved by the Dean of Men’s or Dean of Women’s office), is 23 years old or
older, is married and over the age of 20, or is a graduate student.
- New students may request a particular roommate. Returning students may request for a
friend to be on their hall or in their residence hall.
- For the sake of accountability, students must “check out” when they leave the campus. Students
gradually acquire more freedom in this area as they become upperclassmen.
- Each night all students meet for prayer, either as a room or together with several other rooms.
- Students are to be in their own rooms and quiet at 11 p.m. All lights are to be out by midnight.
- Students are required to keep their rooms clean and neat. Rooms are inspected daily.
- Facilities and furnishings:
- Laundry facilities are provided.
- All rooms are furnished with twin-sized beds, dressers, desks, closets, cupboards, sink,
telephone, and blinds.
- Local intranet and high-speed Internet access is available in each residence hall room.
- An email account is provided for each student. Due to the flood of objectionable content coming
through outside email services, students may use only this filtered campus email system.
- All wireless Internet access that bypasses the BJU filters is prohibited. This includes accessing
the Internet via cellular phone services (e.g., TMobile, Sprint, Verizon, etc.) and WiMax.
- Residence hall students may not watch videos above a G rating when visiting homes in town and may not
attend movie theaters.
- All weapons brought to campus must be turned in for storage. Trigger locks are required for pistols.
