Resident hall life is an integral part of the school community. The following guidelines have been established for resident hall living:
1. All students will normally study in their respective rooms from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. All doors will remain open.
2. There will be no television watching during the school day or study hours, unless specifically required for an academic purpose.
3. During the school day and study hours, stereos must be used with headphones.
4. All resident halls will close to day students and/or visitors at 7:30 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays. The campus will close at 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings. The resident hall supervisors may grant special permission.
5. During the daytime, the resident halls will serve as study halls for all residents, unless the residents are in an assigned study hall. Students will be expected to be in a study atmosphere, and this also applies to examination periods.
6. Weekends: Students may take weekends away from campus, if they are in good standing academically and socially. Permission slips may be obtained in the Wayland Store, the resident hall offices, the Dean of Students Office and the Academic Office. Mentors must receive parental approval for each weekend to be taken, approve permissions and take invitations; then the Academic Dean, Resident Hall Director, faculty and coaches may sign. All permission slips must be presented to the Dean of Students by 1 p.m. on Thursdays. Those students requiring Academy transportation should complete and present permission slips to the Dean of Students by 1 p.m. on Wednesdays. This procedure also applies to special weekends, such as Fall and Spring Family Weekends. Students on a weekend may not visit campus unless granted permission prior to the visit by the President, Dean of Students or the Academic Dean. New boarding students may not take weekends until after Fall Family Weekend. Students entering the Academy in January will not be able to take a weekend until the first weekend in February.
Students may take weekends as indicated below:
- Freshmen - four weekends per semester
- Sophomores - five weekends per semester
- Juniors - seven weekends per semester
- Seniors - unlimited weekends per semester
NOTE: After each grading period, students demonstrating good academic and social standing may receive one additional weekend. Unused weekends may not be carried forward into the following semester.
7. Each resident hall will follow the Residential Life Handbook regarding resident hall closings, signing out and in, visitation hours and room inspections. These rules will be posted in each resident hall and will be explained at the outset of the school year.
8. Room searches may be made only with the permission of the President, the Dean of Students or the Academic Dean, when there is reasonable cause and concern for the welfare and safety of the community and/or when there is suspicion of the presence of illegal substances or materials.
9. Boarding students may not have televisions, refrigerators or cooking appliances in any room. Prefects are exempt from this rule.
10. Resident Hall Supervisors may suspend any privilege, when deemed appropriate.
11. Any damage to rooms will be charged. Each boarding student will be responsible for the upkeep of the room for the entire year.
12. All boarding students are required to spend vacations with parents or guardians (guardians must be at least 21 years of age), or local families with approval. No boarding students may spend time in a hotel unsupervised by a parent or guardian.
13. All freshmen students are required to attend breakfast Monday through Friday.
14. All students attending breakfast will be in school dress.
15. Students are not allowed to keep prescription drugs or over the counter drugs in their rooms without the permission of the Health Center Nurse and the Dean of Students.
