Furthermore, materials placed on the public side of room doors must be in compliance with all UW System, UW-Stout and University Housing policies. No items may be adhered to or displayed in windows. The only items that may be in a win dow are lights around the perimeter, plants on the window sill, or a box fan. You will be asked to remove any other materials by University Housing staff. QUIET & COURTESY HOURS Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours a day and residents and their guests are asked to be con siderate and respectful of others at all times. Residents may be asked to remove sound-pro ducing equipment which causes noise disruption. Students should refrain from door slamming and shouting. Noise should never be at a level that it can be heard more than two doors away during the following times: Sunday — Thursday: 10:00p.m. – 9:00a.m. Friday — Saturday: Midnight – 10:00a.m. During final exams, quiet hours are extended in order to minimize disruptions during the exam period. Information will be shared prior to exam weeks regarding extended quiet hours.
