Because the living-learning environment of residence halls is seen as an integral part of the educational process at Emory & Henry, the college requires that all students live in college-owned residences, with the following exceptions: students who reside with their parents, with guardians, or with spouses; students who are 22 years of age or older; part-time students with eight or fewer semester hours; and students who have special medical or personal considerations which must be accommodated (documentation is required).

A waiver must be signed in the Office of Student Life for approval for every student living off campus. If this residence requirement waiver is not completed, the student will be billed for room and board. Part-time and special students who wish to reside in college-owned residence halls may apply and be granted approval to live in college facilities if space is available.

The college rejects conduct which interferes with the legitimate rights of others, the use of threat or violence or intimidation, harassment, the destruction of property, and the disruption of the normal order of the college. Lying, cheating, plagiarism, and all forms of gambling and hazing are prohibited. Secret fraternities or other organizations not chartered and approved by the college are forbidden. Drinking or possession of alcoholic beverages on the campus is prohibited. Using or possessing illicit drugs is prohibited. Fireworks, firearms, and other such weapons or materials which endanger student health or safety are strictly prohibited.

All automobiles must be registered with the Campus Security Office. Students in acceptable standing are eligible to register and operate automobiles. This right may be forfeited by a student who is placed on disciplinary probation or who receives excessive traffic violations. The catalog section on Fees lists the automobile registration fee.

Students who damage college property will be held liable for expenses incurred in the replacement and/or repair of the damaged property. If damage occurs in common residence hall areas, the cost of repair will be prorated among all currently registered students of that hall.

Students who violate college regulations will be subject to penalties including fines and probations. The most serious penalty, other than suspension or expulsion from the college, is disciplinary probation. A student on probation may be excluded from engaging in activities which represent the student body or the college in public or official capacities, including debates, dramatic or musical performances, or other similar public appearances; intercollegiate athletics; student publications, elective or appointive positions in campus government, or other leadership positions on campus; managing athletic teams, cheerleading, or similar activities. Questions of eligibility for participation must be cleared with the Dean of Students. A student who is on probation may be required to forfeit the privilege of having an automobile on campus; violation of this rule may be grounds for further disciplinary action. A student on probation may forfeit any financial aid provided by the college. A student who violates the conditions of probation is subject to immediate dismissal from the college. A student on academic probation who is dismissed for disciplinary reasons and subsequently is readmitted after clearing the disciplinary penalty will remain on academic probation for the semester after readmission.

Appropriate procedures are provided for hearing and review, and every student has the right of appeal. The campus Judicial Code is contained in the Student Handbook.
