Fire Safety |
Adelphi University is concerned about the safety of every individual on campus and therefore has very strict fire safety regulations. Students who do not observe these regulations jeopardize the safety of others on this campus and therefore will be subject to disciplinary action and/or fines.
State Law requires that hallways and stairways be completely clear at all times. This means that students cannot store anything in these areas (examples: shoes, clothes racks, boxes, furniture, and bicycles.)
Fire and life safety programs must receive community-wide support in order to be effective. Cooperation from all students at fire drills, announced and unannounced, is expected. Students who do not vacate in a timely manner are subject to disciplinary action.
Students who misuse, tamper, or otherwise disturb fire safety equipment, including smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, pull stations, and fire doors, or remove batteries from detectors are subject to fines as well as the cost of restoring the equipment. (See Adelphi's Fire Violations Disciplinary Actions.) These students will be referred to the Dean's Office and may be dismissed or suspended from the University. Candles (including those used for religious purposes), incense, and other open flame devices are not allowed in residential buildings or classrooms.
