Health, Fire & Life Safety

Fire and life safety is of paramount importance within the residence halls. Your actions could affect the life and property of other students in your community. Please be aware of your actions and observe Health, Fire and Life Safety Policies. To enhance fire safety within the residence halls, certain appliances and items are prohibited. If you are not sure about an item, please ask your RA or send your question to housing. Your questions will be presented to the University Fire Marshal's office for a response.

Fire Safety Policy Alert:

Fireworks (pyrotechnics) of any kind are not permitted in the residence halls or on the UT campus, under any circumstances. Fireworks can be construed to include, but are not limited to, pyrotechnic devices that make loud noises and/or exude some kind of spark. Residents who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, fines, and removal from the residence halls, pursuant to Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities, Section 11-804.A.4 and A.5.
