Dorm Policies
2015-2016
Rules of the Dorms
1.Dorm Layout
Each Suite has four bedrooms and a common room. So everyone has their own bedroom, and share a common area with their roommates. There are no kitchens in the dorm; students eat at the cafeteria, or they have the option to use the Home-Ec room with permission if they wish to cook something on their own. Students are also allowed to have microwaves and mini fridges in their individual rooms. No hotpots are allowed, though coffee pots with an automatic shut off are allowed with parental permission. There are several bathrooms that are located in each hall.
2.Curfew
Students under the age of 13 are not allowed off-campus at any time without an adult. Students of age 13 and above can go into town after school and on weekends, provided they get a signed pass. On school nights, they must be back on campus by 8 pm, 9:30 pm on weekends. Students over age 15 have a 9 pm weekday curfew, and 11 pm weekend curfew. Exceptions can be made, with written permission from a dorm supervisor. They have previously been made for: weekend sleepovers with friends who live in town with their families and job shifts on weekends.
The age limit for living in the dorms (unless the student joins the housing staff) is 21, unless there is need for a special exception. If a student is ages 18 or over then they have the option of getting an apartment in Pilot Ridge as long as they are capable of supporting themselves. Another exception is made to those who have family in Pilot Ridge that are able to have the student commute every day for classes and training.
A student may have a pet, though there are some restrictions. The pets must be able to be healthily and safely kept in a small terrarium, cage, or tank. That means some fish, hamsters, mice, gerbils, and small reptiles are acceptable. Rabbits are also acceptable if under a certain size. Companion animals are also allowed in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, though this is a rare exception for those with disabilities and is reviewed on a case by case basis.
No alcohol is allowed in the dorm. Although smoking is discouraged, students who are of age are allowed to smoke outside of school buildings in the designated areas. There is no smoking in the dorms or any of the buildings. No unlawful substances are allowed.
Students are not allowed to have vehicles on campus. If a student has their driver’s license, as well as a vehicle then there is a parking lot located in Pilot Ridge that many of the Hammel students use.
7.Visitors
All visitors need to be signed in at the front gate by the student or staff member they are visiting and issued a visitors pass. They must hand over a photo ID at the time, to be returned when they return the pass.
To get a pass, the person they are visiting must apply for one at least 24 hours ahead of time. There is slight allowances made for immediate family members of staff (Particularly spouses or children who have been to Hammel several times before and are therefore known to the security staff) to let them get a visitors pass without the notice. Families of students do not get these allowances, and neither do alumni.
If someone arrives at the school and there is not a pre-arranged visitors pass waiting, additional security is called, and the person the arrival is visiting is contacted to confirm identification. If they can be properly identified, cooperated with security, and their visit is welcomed, they will be issued a pass. If not, they are barred from campus until they apply for and are issued a pass through proper channels.
Some people are on a blacklist and will never be issued a pass onto Hammel grounds.
If someone is picking up a student for a trip/vacation/carpool somewhere, the student sign out at the main office and the front gate, and the ride waits outside.
If the school is on lockdown, no one gets in without administrative clearance.
