Summer Conference Housing

• All conference group participants must be over the age of 14.
• For every three participants under the age of 17, there must be one chaperone.
• Each conference group must also have their own liability insurance.

In the event of an emergency, please call the University Police, Pontchartrain North Hall front desk, or Pontchartrain South Hall front desk. The front desk will report facility and mechanical problems, and if necessary contact the Resident Assistant on duty and/or the Area Coordinator on duty.

Residents and their guests must evacuate the building and comply with staff instructions any time a fire alarm sounds. Failure to evacuate will result in disciplinary action, including a fine. Tampering with fire and safety equipment or setting off a false alarm is a violation of State Law and University regulations ad will result in University disciplinary action, including fines and removal from the hall and/or possible legal action.

No animals, except those assisting students with disabilities, are allowed in the residence halls.

As guests of the University of New Orleans, the Office of Residential Life will provide guest parking passes to be placed on the passenger side of your dashboard.

Your group will be issued access cards to enter the Pontchartrain Hall(s), and to enter your assigned room(s). Items issued to you are the property of the University of New Orleans and are not to be duplicated or loaned to anyone. Keep your suite locked at all times, as the University does not assume responsibility for anyone’s personal property which is stolen, lost, or damaged. If you become temporarily locked out of your room, with proper identification, a Pass Key Request may be completed at either front desk. A Resident Assistant will accompany you to your room to unlock your door.

Conference Housing guests are expected to maintain the cleanliness of their occupied suite(s). Trash rooms are located on every floor. Please dispose of your trash accordingly. Cleaning fees may apply.

For the community atmosphere to develop and flourish, residents are expected to show courtesy to their neighbors at all times. This especially applies to controlling noise.

Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00pm – 9:00am. During finals week, quiet hours are maintained 24 hours a day.

Alcoholic beverages may be consumed and stored in resident rooms if all occupants are 21 years of age or older. Drinking is not permitted in hallways, lounges, lobbies, patios, stairways or any public areas of the residence hall. Providing alcohol to individuals under the age of 21 or possession of alcohol by individuals under 21 are violations of criminal law and University policy.

The possession or use of illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia is prohibited in the residence hall and is considered a serious violation of University regulations. The possession or use of illegal drugs will result in immediate removal from the residence hall and may result in further disciplinary action by the University and/or possible legal action by state and local authorities.
