Campus Buildings
Students should not enter, climb or be on the roof of any building without proper
approval.
Campus-Wide Curfew
Curfew for all students living in the residence halls (except seniors and Grad./
Sem. students) is 1 a.m. Sunday-Thursday and 2 a.m. Friday-Saturday. All students
living in the residence halls or apartments should be in their residence hall or the
apartment complex if on campus after curfew. All off-campus students (including
seniors, seminary and graduate students) should not be on campus after curfew.
The student center closes at curfew, and the campus is closed from curfew until
5 a.m. Any student returning after curfew should check with Campus Security and
return to his/her residence hall.
Children in the Student Center
Children (under 18) should be accompanied by parents or another responsible
adult while in the student center. Babysitting/child care should not be conducted in
the student center. Children are not permitted to operate the TV or satellite box and
may not play pool or pingpong unless under parental or adult supervision.
Dancing
Dancing has long been an expression of worship, praise, and celebration in
cultures around the world. Scripture also makes reference to dance in a positive,
praiseworthy manner when it addresses dance in the context of worship or in
a celebration of God’s presence. Unfortunately, as with many things, what is
wholesome and innocent can also be twisted and used inappropriately as a means
of simply pleasing ourselves with no consideration of what honors and pleases
God. Therefore, godly discretion is required in decisions about dancing. CIU’s
standards regarding modesty and physical displays of affection apply during all
dancing. In accordance with CIU’s other community standards, dancing in places
that primarily exist to serve alcohol is not acceptable. (See section on Alcohol,
Tobacco and Illegal Drugs for further clarification.)
The dean of Student Life must approve dancing as a part of a performance team
or dance troupe. Dancing as part of a church or home school group does not
need prior approval. To include dancing as a part of a CIU sponsored event, the
organization putting on the event must first receive approval from the Student
Senate as well as the Student Life Office. A playlist of songs to be used at the
event must also be approved.
Gambling
You are not to participate in any form of gambling (including the lottery and online
gambling).
Guest on Campus
CIU faculty, staff, and students must accompany any guests they invite to campus,
including when they are using any campus facilities, such as fishing in the lake,
exercising in the fitness center, or using the recreational equipment in the student
center.
