2.8.6 : Cooking

For reasons of health, safety, and sanitation, cooking is not permitted in student rooms. Cooking is permitted in designated areas only, e.g., kitchens where cooking facilities are provided. Residents doing a practicum or student teaching may request permission from the Dean of Students to prepare their own meals in lieu of being on the meal plan. If permission is granted, they must cook in the designated areas. Students can check with their Resident Directors to confirm which areas of their living accommodations allow for food preparation. Students who prepare meals must provide their own cooking utensils.

There are some kitchen facilities available in selected residence halls. Clean-up is each student’s personal responsibility. Dirty dishes left in the kitchen more than 24 hours may be disposed of by custodial services. Kitchen use may be restricted if cleanliness standards are not maintained.
