What Not to Bring to Campus

Here's some items that you should leave at home:

Air conditioners (if you need air conditioning for medical reasons, please contact our office immediately)
Alcoholic beverages, containers, bars, paraphernalia
Candles (wickless and LED candles are permitted)
Electric ovens or appliances with exposed heating elements
Electrical appliances rated over 6 amps or 800 watts, except computers*
Firearms, weapons or fireworks
Grills (indoor grills as well as outdoor models)
Halogen lamps
Illegal drugs or prescription drugs used for illegal purposes
Incense or potpourri pots
Large power tools
Lighter fluid or other flammable materials
Nails
Ozone generators (air cleaners)
Pets (only small fish are permitted)
Refrigerators over 4.3 cubic feet or 3 amps
Satellite dishes
Space heaters
Toasters or toaster ovens
Waterbeds

* Some of our buildings, like Andreen and Seminary Halls, were built when electrical usage needs in each room were significantly less. In these buildings especially, the total electrical usage should not exceed 8 amps or 1000 watts at any given time. Generally, this limitation will still allow for one refrigerator, one microwave, a small stereo system and a TV per room, plus a few lamps. Hair dryers, which are very high-wattage devices, should be used in the bathroom areas only.
