Activities such as smoking and drinking alcohol are only prohibited on-campus; students may participate in these activities while off-campus.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The prohibition of smoking and drinking exists on- or off-campus. The only distinction we make is if the student is under the direct authority of their parents. As an institution, we do not usurp the authority of parents, though we would certainly hope that parents would understand and support our intentions behind these guidelines.

Check all the items that would be included in the prohibition against gambling:
Correct Answer(s)
B. Playing poker with coins
C. Having a floor March Madness bracket that you pay to enter
D. Buying or offering a raffle ticket for money
Explanation
The concept to remember is that we consider it gambling if you pay money for the opportunity to win more money or a prize of some value. So offering 'door prize tickets' to anyone that is at an event is just fine; charging money for a raffle ticket is not permitted. Playing poker with chips is acceptable, but using money or exchanging money for the chips is not allowed.
4.
Extended orientation events are not considered "hazing" as long as the new student desires to participate in the activity.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The law states "the express or implied consent of the victim will not be a defense," most likely because one can never be certain how much the student *truly* wants to participate and how much of it is about feeling accepted. That is why we discuss community building events that students can freely choose to join.

Unauthorized use of an individual's identification, password, or MAC address is considered a disciplinable offense.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Unauthorized use of an individual's identification, password, or MAC address is considered a disciplinable offense because it violates the privacy and security of the individual. By using someone else's identification or password without their consent, an individual can gain unauthorized access to their personal information or resources, potentially causing harm or misuse. Similarly, using someone else's MAC address can lead to unauthorized network access or impersonation, which can have serious consequences. Therefore, it is important to respect and protect the privacy and security of others by not engaging in such unauthorized activities.

Regarding dating and social life, behavior in a public place between couples should be such that the couple always appears ____________, rather than reclusive.
Correct Answer
approachable
Explanation

If a couple’s public behavior is considered inappropriate, a faculty or staff member will address the behavior accordingly." Don't forget, in this instance, an RA is a staff member and you have the opportunity/responsibility to say something.

If a ResLife staff member has to use his/her master key to gain entrance to a resident's room because the resident is not present, the staff member is required to notify the resident of the entry.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Residents must be notified of any entries to their rooms while they are not present (i.e. room inspections, etc.). It is also advisable for TWO staff members to be present for any such entries. Just because you have a master key, doesn't mean that you need to use it. Overall, we need to have great respect for students' privacy and keying into student's rooms should be used with great caution. If an RA suspects reason to search a student's room, the RA should contact the RD. An RA should NEVER search a student's room alone.

There are certain copyright laws that govern the use of rented or purchased video-recorded materials, limiting the use of these materials to personal and/or home settings. These laws are ambiguous as to whether a residence hall or its lounges qualify as a “home setting,” so it is important that caution and restraint are exercised in using rented or purchased video-recorded materials on campus. Therefore, campus residents must abide by the following guidelines concerning a video that is not purchased through a licensing agency and is categorized as “home use only”: (check all that apply)

What does FERPA, the federal law that protects students' school records, stand for?
Correct Answer
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Explanation
Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record other than what is considered "directory" information; however, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, in certain situations.
Schools may disclose, without consent, “directory” information such as a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance; however, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them.
