As a member of the MIT community, you are expected to respect the rights and property of other residents and help minimize wear and tear on the facilities and furnishings. In addition to these policies, please review the Mind and Hand Book.
Conduct Issues in Residence Halls
Most issues involving conduct in your residence hall will be resolved through the self-governing system of student judicial committees and residential faculty and staff. Serious infractions of MIT policies and procedures however, may result in sanctions or even suspension from MIT housing at the discretion of the Dean of Student Life’s office or the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards.
