Below are some important policies to remember when residing at the University Bluffs. For a full list of rules and regulations, please review the 2024-2025 Bluffs Contract.
Alcohol
The University Policy on alcohol is the same at the University Bluffs complex. Remember, if you are 21, you may not consume alcohol on apartment stoops, stairways or walkways. Drinking in public could result in your removal from the complex.
Bicycles
Bicycles must be stored on the bike racks or within the apartment. Bicycles are not permitted to be stored in any stairwells at the complex or locked up to any handrails.
Candles
Candles are prohibited at all times. Any candles found during Health and Safety Visits will be confiscated.
Cooking
When using the stove, stay in the kitchen and never leave any cooking unattended. It is expected that you regularly clean your stove top, burners, oven and drip pans. Cooking should always begin on low or medium heat (5/10). It is advised that you reduce the amount of oil in pans to decrease smoke. To increase airflow in the apartment, open the top and bottom parts of the kitchen window, as well as the bathroom window and be sure to close the windows when increased airflow is no longer necessary.
Grilling
Grills, outdoor cooking, fire pits, and barbeques are not permitted at the University Bluffs.
Inclement Weather
The University will provide basic snow removal within the complex, including shoveling the sidewalks and stairs of the complex. It is the responsibility of each resident to remove snow off of and around their own vehicle. All school closing information can be found by calling 732-263-5900. It is expected that you sign up for the University’s Emergency Notification System. This service will contact you in the event of any school closing.
Noise
The University Residential Life Policy on noise is the same at the University Bluffs complex. Quiet Hours begin at 10 p.m. daily and Courtesy Hours are 24 hours a day. This extends to the parking lot, so please do not play car stereos loudly. Any noise that disturbs the apartments around you, will be adjudicated through the Student Code of Conduct.
Pets
All pets are prohibited. Additionally, you may not “pet sit” at any time.
Smoking & Smoke Detectors
New Jersey State Law prohibits smoking in any University Owned housing, which includes the University Bluffs. At no time, should anything inhibit, cover or hang from any fire safety apparatuses, including fire detectors, smoke detectors, strobe lights or sprinkler systems. Any tampering with fire safety equipment will be adjudicated through the Student Code of Conduct and could result in the loss of housing at the University Bluffs.
Visitation
All students are allowed to have visitors. Visitors must be mutually agreed upon and are not to be left alone in the apartment. Additionally, all students must follow the visitation guidelines outlined in the Residential Life Guidebook. University Bluffs residents are responsible for the actions of their guests at all times. At no time shall the occupancy of the apartment exceed eight (8) persons.
