Southern A^dv^^ntist: Uni
StLident: HaincUbook 9S-9^
The information presented at the time of printing is a
statement of nonacademic policies at Southern Adventist Uni-
versity. The university reserves the right to change policy
without prior notice. All students are expected to be aware of
and abide by Southern Adventist University policies which
appear in this handbook. The Student Services Office (238-
2814) or a residence hall dean should be contacted if further
information regarding a particular item is desired.
ACADEMIC POLICIES Academic policies are presented in detail
in the University Catalog. Students should study this catalog
to become familiar with their particular programs of study.
ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE It is the policy of Southern Adventist
University to maintain a safe and healthful environment for
its students and employees. A drug-free/alcohol-free lifestyle
for employees and students alike is intrinsic to this policy.
Therefore, it is the policy that the possession, use, manufac-
turing, distribution of alcohol and illicit drugs by a univer-
sity student or employee is strictly prohibited. If the vice
president for student services and residence hall deans have
reasonable suspicion or evidence of drug use, they may
require a student to submit to chemical screening analysis.
Therefore, by enrolling at Southern Adventist University all
students agree to submit to drug testing. Furthermore, the
university considers the serving of alcohol as inappropriate.
Illicit drugs include such substances as opium derivatives,
hallucinogens (e.g., marijuana, mescaline, peyote, LSD,
psilocybin), cocaine, amphetamines, codeine, heroin, mor-
phine and other drugs prohibited by law. This definition does
not include lawfully prescribed drugs which are being taken
under a physician's care. Violation of this policy is grounds
for disciplinary action— up to and including immediate
discharge for an employee and permanent dismissal for a
student. All employees and students are subject to appli-
cable federal, state, and local laws related to this matter.
Additionally, any violation of this policy will result in
disciplinary action as set forth in the Southern Adventist
University policy statement on alcohol use and illicit drugs.
ASSEMBLY, CHURCH, AND RESIDENCE HALL WORSHIP In order
to provide for the spiritual fellowship essential to a Christian
campus. Southern Adventist University has a regular pro-
gram of student attendance at weekly assembly, church
service. Sabbath School, and residence hall worship. Assem-
blies are held each Thursday at 11 a.m. During weeks of
spiritual emphasis, assemblies are held on Tuesday as well.
Occasionally, assemblies will be held in the evening or may
begin at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday. Double credit is given for
some special evening assemblies. Assemblies serve several
purposes, including spiritual nurt;ure, cultural enrichment,
as well as general information and community fellowship.
Assemblies are held in the church or in the lies Physical
Education Center, depending on the nature of the program.
All students are required to attend 14 assemblies each
semester. Students may receive one assembly credit each
semester for attending either one Anderson Organ Series
concert or one Chamber Series concert. Students who fail to
attend the required number of assemblies will be assessed
$10 per assembly that they are short of the required number.
Students who have missed more than five assemblies will be
subject to cancellation of registration. Reinstatement will
occur only after the above penalty plus a $25 re-registration
fee are paid, and arrangements are made not to become
deficient in attendance again.
Church and Sabbath School are designed to be the apex of
the spiritual life at Southern Adventist University. Atten-
dance at Sabbath School and church services is required of
resident students each week. The Collegedale SDA Church is
the regular church for Southern Adventist University stu-
dents; however, students may attend another area church by
indicating in writing as they leave the residence hall the
Sabbath School and church they will be attending that day.
Students who do not attend Sabbath School and church
regularly are subject to discipline.
The residence hall worship program is the third part of the
spiritual nurturing and fellowship program at Southern.
Residence hall worships are ' jducted by the residence hall
deans, invited guests, or by the pastors at the Collegedale
Church. (See WORSHIP AHENDANCE.)
ASSAULT Physical and/or verbal assault is not tolerated.
Students involved in this type of behavior will be subject to
discipline, including dismissal.
AUTOMOBILES, MOTORCYCLES, BICYCLES The use of motor
vehicles on campus is considered a privilege. Motor vehicle
privileges may be suspended at the discretion of the
residence hall deans or vice president for student services.

week except Friday and Saturday nights (exceptions— out-
of-town travel and emergencies). Late leaves cannot be
obtained during the Sabbath hours. Call-in late leaves will
not be accepted by a desk worker. If an emergency keeps
residents from returning to the Residence Hall by curi^ew,
they should call and speak to the dean on duty.
Overnight leaves: Any time a resident leaves campus
overnight (even on a school sponsored trip) an overnight
leave is required. Overnight leave request forms may be
obtained at the front desk of the residence hall. Leaves must
be approved BEFORE leaving campus. Parental approval may
be required for any leave.
Residents are expected to remain off campus at all times
during the dates listed on the leave request. Violation of this
policy will result in the cancellation of the leave and the
suspension of overnight leave privileges. If a leave must be
cancelled or the resident returns early from a leave, a dean
is to be informed and the resident should be in the residence
hall by curfew. Failure to do so will result in the suspension
of overnight leave privileges. A change in destination should
be reportied to a dean.
Weekend leaves must be submitted by 11 p.m. on Thursday,
except for those qualifying for graduating senior privileges
(see Senior Privileges in the Residential Life Handbool().
Other aspects of the overnight leave policy are as follows:
1. If the period of proposed leave from the campus includes
a work or class appointment, suitable arrangements must
be made with the work superintendent or academic vice
president respectively.
2. If under 21 years of age, ft-eshmen residents may be
limited to overnight leaves which involve a maximum of
eight nights of absence from campus per semester, exclud-
ing vacations.
3. Students on Citizenship Probation are limited to overnight
leaves which involve a maximum of one weekend to home
only per calendar month excluding vacations.
4. If an emergency situation makes it impossible to return to
the residence hall by date and time stated on the leave,
residents have the responsibility of telephoning their
residence hall dean to request an extension of time.
Falsification of leave: Falsification of a leave will result in
disciplinary action, including suspension.

CLASSROOM CONDUQ Teachers and the institution reserve
the right to remove students from classes if their behavior
threatens the purposes of the class by exceeding the bounds
of normal academic freedom.
UNIVERSITY STANDARDS Students are expected to establish a
Christian lifestyle which fosters maximum spiritual, mental,
physical, and social growth. Such a lifestyle will include
engaging in prayer, Bible study, and Christian-service activi-
ties; practicing good study habits; selecting a balanced and
nutritious diet and scheduling adequate periods of rest;
participating in wholesome recreational and leisure-time
activities; and relating responsibly and respectfully to other
persons. Behaviors which do not promote such a lifestyle and
are expressly forbidden include the use of alcoholic bever-
ages, tobacco and illicit drugs; gambling; dancing; improper
sexual behavior; homosexuality; and attendance at enter-
tainments which are spiritually or morally destructive. Stu-
dents who engage in such behavior will be subject to
suspension and/or dismissal from the university.
CONTACT SPORTS In order to protect the physical well-being of
its students and the liability of the university. Southern
Adventist University prohibits participation in sports with
excessive physical contact including tackle football.
COUNSELING AND TESTING SERVICE The director of counseling
administers a formal program of counseling through the
Counseling and Testing Office. This program provides various
aptitude and psychological tests as well as interest and
personality inventories which are available for students who
wish to gain insight into various problems which may be
associated with their university experience and planning for
life. University entrance examination results and other
personal data which may assist in counseling and guidance
are kept on file in the Counseling and Testing Office.
CURFEW Residence halls are closed at 11 p.m. Sunday through
Thursday, at 10 p.m. on Friday, and at midnight on Saturday.
DISCIPLINE All major disciplinary procedures are under the
direction of the vice president for student services. Disci-
pline for minor infractions may be administered by the
residence hall deans. However, head deans, consulting with
the opposite residence hall, have the authority to suspend
students in the event that the vice president for student
services is not available. A student who may be subject to
discipline is counseled by the appropriate residence hall dean
and/or vice president for student services regarding the
student's rights, including voluntary withdrawal from school
and possible disciplinary actions. The student meets with
appropriate university officials which will always include the
vice president for student services and usually a dean from
each residence hall. A decision regarding the appropriate
disciplinary action is made. The student accepts this decision
or has the right to appeal to the Discipline Review Commit-
tee. The vice president for student services may have the
student meet with the Discipline Review Committee before
making his decision. A student facing discipline regarding
matters that may involve charges by civil authorities may
request permission to bring legal counsel to the Discipline
Review Committee. This request must be in writing, at least
one full day prior to the committee meeting. Such legal
counsel is present only to guide the student and does not
have the prerogative of addressing the committee directly.
Categories of discipline: citizenship probation, suspen-
sion, on-campus suspension, withdrawal at the end of the
semester, immediate withdrawal, expulsion.
Citizenship probation: Probation carries with it some or all
of the following restrictions:
1. One approved weekend leave per month to home.
2. No use of an automobile, driving or riding, except as
allowed in 4. below.
' 3. No late leaves.
4. Only one off-campus leave per week. No personal car use.
Must obtain a ride for this leave via permission from a
dean and must return to the campus by sundown.
5. A perfect record of presence for night checks and regular
attendance at classes, assemblies, worships. Sabbath
School and church services.
6. Loss of all student leadership positions, including Stu-
dent Association and religious activities.
7. No part:icipation in off-campus public appearances which
represent the university except when involved in class
activity.
8. Other restrictions deemed appropriate.
If a student on citizenship probation fails to comply with
these restrictions, he/she is subject to suspension.
Suspension: A student is required to leave campus for a
specified period or the complete term in which case he/she
is dropped as a registered student. A student who has been
suspended indefinitely must submit his request for univer-
sity readmission to the vice president for student services.
On-campus suspension: A student is allowed to remain on
campus under restriction of citizenship probation and is
specifically told in writing that any other violations of
university regulations will result in immediate dismissal.
Withdrawal at end of semester or session: Completion of
course work for that semester or session will be allowed if the
student's conduct is acceptable for the interim.
Immediate withdrawal: A residence hall student who
accepts the option of withdrawing agrees to move away from
the university community; unwillingness to do so may result
in formal dismissal
Expulsion: Students who are expelled will not be eligible
for readmission to Southern Adventist University.
A student who receives any discipline will receive a letter
from the vice president for student services or a residence
hall dean. This letter will be made part: of the student's
official record and will be used as reference in evaluating
future behavior and may be used when making future
recommendations. Copies will be sent to the student's
parents and to the residence hall dean if a student is a
residence hall student. Copies of disciplinary letters are not
sent to parents of independent students.
A student who has been administered discipline by the
deans of either residence hall may appeal the decision to the
vice president for student services. The vice president's
decision may be appealed to the Discipline Review Commit-
tee. The president is the final point in the appeal process.
DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION Anyone who desires to
distribute information via pamphlets or papers on the
campus of Southern Adventist University must receive per-
mission from the Administrative Council through the office
of Student Services.
DRESS CODE As part of its overall educational effort, Southern
Adventist University has established a specific dress code.
Since Southern Adventist University is a Christian institu-
tion, cleanliness, modesty, and neatness are the prevailing
principles in this code. Southern Adventist University dis-
courages attire which it considers excessive personal adorn-
ment. In addition Southern Adventist University expects
students to develop a sense of professional appropriateness,
dignity, and respect regarding dress and grooming.
All students must dress modestly, and be neat and clean
at all times and adhere to the following requirements:
1. Men: Pants with shirts and/or sweaters.
2. Women: Dresses, skirts, or pants with blouses, sweaters,
or jackets.
3. Hair clean and neatly styled. Radical styles must be
avoided. Men: Hair should be off the shoulders, and
beards and moustaches well groomed.
4. Shoes and shirts or blouses in all non-recreational public
places.
5. Makeup and nail polish, if worn, must be natural looking
and inconspicuous.
6. Recreational clothing also neat and modest. Modest one-
piece swimsuits.
7. Sabbath services (Friday night vespers. Sabbath School,
and church services) and Sabbath noon meal: Men— suits,
sport coats or sweaters and dress shirts and ties. Women-
dresses or skirts with blouses/sweaters.
8. Shortis are not to be worn to class, assembly programs, in
the church, library or dining hall, except that shorts may
be worn to the dining hall for the noon meal on Sunday,
and for evening meals on other days except when the
evening meal occurs during Sabbath hours.
9. The following are specifically prohibited:
a. Sloppy clothing, tank tops, clothing that is torn or
frayed, clothing with printing which contradicts uni-
versity standards.

laces, chains, medallions, earrings, rings (except wed-
ding bands for married students). Medical alert: chains

may be suspended and must pay $25 re-registration
fee to be reinstated.
Guests at Southern Adventist University are encouraged to
adhere to the same standards as do the students and staff.
EVENSONG Each Sabbath a sundown worship service is held in
the church, beginning about 20 minutes before sundown.
Residence hall students are given worship credit for attending.
FINANCIAL SERVICES The university maintains a Student Fi-
nance Office which advises students as to the availability of
loans, grants, and scholarships both from private and gov-
ernment sources, as well as advising students about account
payment matters. Most financial aid is awarded based on
need; therefore students are encouraged to fill out a finan-
cial aid package including the federal form (Free Application
For Federal Student Aid) in order to qualify. After all financial
aid information is complete and accurate, the university's
Student Finance Office will process it and send the students
an award letter, telling them which financial aid they could
receive. Once the aid is accepted and the students enroll at
SAU, the financial aid, including any loans applied for from
the Federal Family Educational Loan program, will be cred-
ited to the students' accounts. All students are required to
make a $2,500 advance payment at the beginning of the
school year even though they may have been awarded
financial aid. Students are encouraged to work with a
Student Accounts counselor to develop a financial budget to
cover any remaining amount owed. Southern offers a cash
discount for paying the yearly or semester's estimated
expenses in advance. Students and parents who do not
prepay will be billed monthly. Bills must be paid by the due
date in order to continue enrollment at SAU and in order to
continue receiving government or university financial assis-
tance. Students or parents should contact the Student
Finance Office whenever their financial situation changes.
FIREARMS AND FIRECRACKERS Items of explosive nature,
firearms, or pellet guns are not allowed on the campus.
Possession of or exploding fireworks or combustible chemi-
cals in the residence halls or on the campus is expressly
prohibited. Violators of this regulation will be fined up to
$100 and will be subject to suspension or dismissal.
FIRE DRILL Each residence hall is required to hold periodic fire
drills; when an alarm sounds, residents are to follow an-
nounced procedure promptly.
FIRE EQUIPMENT Misuse of fire extinguishers, fire alarms,
smoke detectors, door closing devices, or other fire protec-
tion equipment will subject a student to a $100 fine and/or
other discipline.
FIRE HAZARDS Use of candles, incense, open-flame lamps, or
any other item that could cause a fire- or smoke-related
incident will result in a fine of up to $100.
FOOD SERVICE Three nutritious meals are served daily in the
dining hall, on the third floor of Wright Hall. Students may
use their ID cards to charge meals on their monthly state-
ments. A $2 surcharge is added to each meal charged without
an ID card. Cash is also accepted in payment. Students who
throw food in the dining hall are subject to a $100 fine.
The Campus Kitchen, located in Fleming Plaza, is a fast-
food restaurant, also operated by the Food Service Depart:-
ment, which serves meals 7 a.m. -2:30 p.m. each day.
K.R.'s Place is located in the Student Center. This is a fast-
food place that is open from 1-4 and 6-8 p.m.
In addition, the Food Service staff will provide special
luncheons and banquets for groups who make requests to the
director of food service two weeks in advance.
The Food Service and Campus Kitchen are normally closed
on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and the
Sabbath after Christmas. Students residing on campus must
make their own arrangements for meals on these days by
eating at other establishments or by carrying out food the
days previous to those holidays.
HAZING AND OTHER IRREGULAR ACTIVITIES A student who
conspires to engage in hazing or commits any act that
injures, degrades or disgraces, or tends to injure, degrade or
disgrace a fellow student will be subject to discipline,
including dismissal.
HEALTH SERVICES Care may be obtained at the Student Health
Service by all permanent residence hall residents and all
village students taking seven or more hours during the
school year or three or more during the summer. The Student
Health Service is administered by a nurse director in coop-
eration with the university physician. Clinic hours are posted
and the physician makes daily calls at the Health Service
Monday through Friday. He leaves when all who are waiting
have been cared for. A nurse is also on duty after office hours,
except during vacations and summer, and may be reached for
emergencies by calling 238-2713. A three-room infirmary is
maintained for overnight confinement if necessary.
Southern Adventist University requires that students be
covered by health insurance. Students who are already
covered with a similar insurance plan may during registra-
tion request to be excluded from the school insurance policy.
Such students will need to supply, at that time, written
evidence from their parent's employer or local insurance
agent which contains the company name and policy number
under which they are covered; otherwise, coverage must be
purchased through the university health insurance plan.
Health Service is located on the ground floor on the east end
of the Conference Center.
HIV Southern Adventist University is committed to acting with
Christian compassion toward all people with HIV. The univer-
sity is also committed to protecting the members of its
community from exposure to HIV. A detailed procedure to
accomplish these goals has been officially established and is
on file in the office of the vice president for student services.
Current medical information indicates that HIV is trans-
mitted only through exchange of body fluid and not through
casual contact. Southern Adventist University believes that
abstaining from sexual relations outside of marriage and
from intravenous drug use is the most effective way to avoid
exposure to HIV.
It is not the normal practice of Southern Adventist
University to exclude a person with HIV from the student
body. However, if the university concludes that its resources
are not sufficient to provide the services required, or if the
HIV victim proves to be a disruption of the regular university
program, such an exclusion may be implemented.
Southern is committed to updating its students and
faculty with the latest accurate information about HIV and
will regularly review its HIV policy toward that objective.
HORSES Due to the damage it causes to the landscape,
horseback riding is not allowed on campus.
HOUSING AND RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS The total social and
educational program at Southern Adventist University is
based on the premise that this is a residential university, not
a commuter school. Single students enrolled for more than
three semester hours, who are under the age of 23, and who
do not live with their parents or legal guardians, must live
in the residence halls. Exceptions are made for students who
have completed a bachelor's degree or four years of college.
In order to live elsewhere a student must present a written
request to the vice president for student services who will
consult with the Student Services Committee. Such a request
must include parental approval, specifics regarding resi-
dence requested, and the reasons an exception to the policy
is being requested. Generally only those requests which
demonstrate definite financial need which off-campus living
will correct, or which verify other extenuating circumstances
will be approved. Requests will not be considered if a student
is on citizenship probation. Students who do not abide by
the established residence requirements will have their reg-
istration cancelled. When a student has been given special
permission to live off campus no change in residence may be
made without the permission of the vice president for
student services.
A student who lives in the residence hall must be regis-
tered in classes. Anyone who drops classes will need to make
living arrangements outside of the residence hall. Any
exception to this policy must be cleared through the resi-
dence hall dean and the vice president for student services.
Married student housing is available through the office of
the vice president for finance. A no-longer enrolled or
■accepted student will be askf ' ^^o vacate university housing.
INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS Southern does not sponsor athletic
competition with other educational institutions.
KEYS Room keys are issued to all residents without charge. A
substantial fee is charged for each key lost or not returned
when a resident checks out of the residence hall.
KITCHENETTES Each residence hall has a kitchenette where
residents may prepare food.
LAUNDRY ROOMS Coin-operated washers and dryers are avail-
able in laundry rooms in each residence hall. These rooms are
closed 30 minutes before sundown on Friday and are open
again 30 minutes after sundown on Saturday.
LOST AND FOUND All art;icles found on campus should be taken
to Lost and Found, located at the Service Department, 5071-
B Industrial Drive. Valuables are kept there to be claimed by
those who have lost them. Articles not claimed within one
year from the time they were turned in will be taken to the
Samaritan Center.
MAIL Mailboxes are located in the foyer of each residence hall.
Mail is delivered each morning Sunday through Friday. A
resident's mailing address is the room number, followed by
the name of the residence hall, Collegedale, TN (Talge ZIP
Code: 37315-0569) (Thatcher ZIP Code: 37315-0529). Be
sure the correct residential ZIP code is on the envelope.
MARRIAGE Except by special permission of the vice president
for student services, student marriages are not permitted
while a school term is in progress.
MOTION PICTURES All feature-length motion pictures must be
approved for showing on campus or at any school-related
function by the faculty Film Preview Committee. Requests for
the showing of films should be directed to the vice president for
student services for approval by the Student Services Com-
mittee according to the following guidelines:
1. The Student Association may show a maximum of four
films per semester with no more than one per year being
a public benefi't program.
2. The Art:ist Adventure Series has the option of showing two
films per semester.
3. The Classic Film Series may present four films per semester.
4. Other campus organizations may show a feature film in a
program restricted to the membership of the sponsoring
group and invited guests. No campus organization will be
allowed to show more than one such film during the
academic year.
MUSIC STANDARDS
1. Music performed or reproduced anywhere on campus is
expected to be in harmony with standards of good taste
applicable to the occasion and in keeping with the ideals
of spiritual commitment and personal relationship with
God to which the university is dedicated. To assist with
the responsibility, a screening committee is appointed
by the university president each year to screen all
student programs before they are presented. Student
groups should contact the chairman of the screening
committee in ample time before their scheduled perform-
ance so that the committee can be called for the
screening. Failure to have a program properly screened
may cause cancellation of the program. A musical group
organized by students for public performances must be
approved by the Student Services Committee.
2. Rock music of any type is not acceptable on campus. It
has a debilitating effect on refined sensibilities of the
Christian and can have almost hypnotic and demonic
possession of the human mind and body with its wild,
loud, steady and primitive beat.
NONDISCRIMINATION Southern Adventist University does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, ethnic or
national origin, handicap, or age in compliance with all
applicable federal and state regulations.
PAW Partners At Wellness is the student wellness program
directed by a student. It is under the responsibility of Health
Services.
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION Students are to present proper
identification when requested to do so by administrators,
faculty, staff, cafeteria, hbrary, residence hall, and security
personnel.
PETS Pets are not allowed in the residence halls. There is a $50
fine for students having pets in their rooms, excluding fish.
PROTECTION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY Unoccupied student
rooms, as well as automobiles, bicycles, and motorcycles
parked in campus parking areas, should be kept locked at all
times. The university cannot accept responsibility for stolen
items/money, or damage to personal propert:y.
PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION Students are expected to
conduct themselves with discretion and in a manner which
will not embarrass other people.

RESIDENCE HALL VISITORS Southern is a private school. The
residence halls are, therefore, private buildings and function
for the needs of the students who reside there. Talge Hall is
the men's residence. Thatcher Hall is the women's residence.
Members of the opposite gender may visit only in main
lobbies. Any nonresident may be requested to leave at any
time. All nonresident students and visitors must leave the
residence halls at closing time unless other arrangements
have been made. Guests are expected to abide by general
campus and residence hall regulations. Any off-campus
visitor who has been invited to stay as an overnight guest in
the appropriate residence hall must make arrangements with
the dean on duty upon his or her arrival on campus and fill
out a Visitor Registration Card. Visits should be limited to
three nights. If a longer stay is arranged, a charge of $5 per
night will be placed on the resident's account.
RIGHT OF ENTRY The university reserves the right for a
residence hall dean, the dean's representative, or a univer-
sity campus safety officer to enter and inspect a student's
room whenever necessary. A student accepts this authoriza-
tion when renting a room in a residence hall.
ROOFS Any individual who is on the roof of a university building
without authorization will be fined $100.
ROOM ASSIGNMENTS Residents are not to move from one room
to another without first making arrangements with a resi-
dence hall dean.
ROOM FURNISHINGS AND CARE Furnishings include beds,
desks, chairs, drawers, window drapes, and carpet. Students
should bring their own bed linens, pillows, bedspreads,
towels, washcloths, and wastebaskets. Drapes and furnish-
ings are not to be removed from the room. Wallpaper and
contact paper should not be put on the walls. Poster putty
and/or masking tape should be used to hang posters. Nails,
tacks or cellophane tape are not to be used for this purpose.
Residents are responsible for the condition of their rooms
and will be charged for damages, as well as custodial
expenses, if a room is left in need of repair and cleaning.
Rooms and furniture are not to be painted.
The Plant Services Department is responsible for maintain-
ing facilities and furnishings in the residence halls, includ-
ing painting, electrical and plumbing repairs and installa-
tion of drapery rods, hooks, etc. Residents are to leave
requests for such services at the service desk.
Students' rooms are to be decorated in harmony with
university standards. Items such as alcoholic-beverage con-
tainers and pictures/ posters of nude or scantily clad persons
are not to be displayed.
Cooking appliances must not be used in student rooms.
State health regulations prohibit cooking in sleeping rooms.
Such appliances may be used in residence hall kitchenettes.
ROOM OCCUPANCY Students will be charged rent as long as
their belongings are in the room. During times when student
teaching or internships, etc., require extended absences
from the campus, storage is available at a reduced rate.
ROOM RESERVATIONS After a student has been accepted by
Southern Adventist University and $150 has been paid as a
housing deposit, a confirmed room reservation can be
made. Tentative reservations made before July 1 without
a deposit will be held beyond that date only if the deposit
has been received. This deposit is held in reserve until the
student graduates and/or permanently moves out of the
residence hall. Refunds are not made until after 30 days of
residency and until all residence hall obligations have
been satisfactorily cared for, with the floor, walls, woodwork,
and furniture of the room clean and undamaged.
SABBATH OBSERVANCE The Sabbath is God's time for people to
meet with Him in an atmosphere free from non-spiritual
distractions. To facilitate this the university gives primary
attention to worship, rest, and Christian fellowship and
service from Friday sundown until Saturday sundown. During
these hours students are expected to refrain from secular
activities including secular entertainment, secular music,
shopping, sports, school studies, work, and other similar
activities.
SELLING Selling or soliciting of goods or services in the
residence halls must be approved by the head dean. Sales-
people or peddlers are not allowed to function on the
university campus. This includes the Student Center.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT Students of Southern Adventist Univer-
sity will not engage in or tolerate sexual harassment as
defined by the United States Equal Opportunity Commission
thus: "Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favor, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual
nature." Any sexual behavior which creates an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive working or school environment is a
violation of our Christian standards as well as Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. A student involved in such activity
will be subject to suspension.
SKATEBOARDS Skateboards, in-line skates, and roller skates on
campus must be used with personal safety precautions and
with responsibility for the safety of others. NO skating is
allowed in the following areas: Fleming Plaza, the track,
tennis courts. Industrial Drive, and inside buildings.
SOUND EQUIPMENT Sound equipment is not to be heard
outside a student's room at any time. Failure to comply with
this policy will result in the removal of the equipment. Head
phones are recommended.
STEALING Protection against stealing is a serious challenge for
an institution in which hundreds of people reside close to
each other in a relatively open manner. Students should
always take precautions to protect their personal belong-
ings. Since thieves conduct their activities surreptitiously,
the act of individuals taking without permission any item
which they do not own will be regarded as stealing. Students
who are involved in theft will be subject to suspension or
dismissal.
STORAGE A locked storage room is located in each residence
hall. Residents may keep luggage and cartions at their own
risk in these storage rooms. All such items are to be tagged.
The university will assume no responsibility for the protec-
tion of stored items.
STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Student Association is an organi-
zation for the total student body and provides opportunity
for leadership training. Student Association officers are
responsible for planning specific student activities on the
university campus and for acting as a voice for the student
body. The officers are elected and appointed each spring to
serve for the following school year. Publications of the
Student Association include the Joker, a pictorial directory
of students and staff; Numerique, a listing of student phone
numbers; Southern Accent, the campus newspaper; Campus
Chatter, a weekly news/announcement sheet; and Southern
Memories, the university yearbook. Students enrolled for a
minimum of eight semester hours are members of the
Student Association and are eligible to receive the various
services provided by the Student Association.
STUDENT CENTER Lounges, a snack shop, a game room, and a
prayer room are available for student use on the third floor
of the Student Center building. Student Association offices,
the chaplain's office, the CARE office, the Counseling Center,
and the Student Services Office are located there. The
computer center is housed on the first floor of the building
and the dining hall is on the second floor.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Students at Southern Adventist Univer-
sity are encouraged to obtain part-time employment in the
university's industries, services, or academic depart:ments in
order to help pay for their school expenses. Students
accepting employment with the university are expected to
be punctual to work appointments and to maintain their
work schedule during the entire semester, including exami-
nation week. To be absent from work appointments without
cause or previous arrangement or without notification in the
case of illness is sufficient reason for discharge. Students
may apply as volunteers for the fire department or the
ambulance service if they maintain a cumulative grade point
average of 2.00. First semester freshmen must have a
satisfactory secondary school record.
STUDENT RECORDS Copies of the Family Education Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974, and amendments subsequent to this Act
and HEW guidelines are available in the Office of Student
Services. Students have the right to inspect and review
official records, files and data directly related to them kept
by any unit of the university. This request should be made in
writing to the administrator responsible for the record.
Requests are to be processed within five days from the date
the request has been filed. The Act stipulates a reasonable
fee may be charged if copies of the material in the file are
desired.
STUDY ATMOSPHERE A study atmosphere is to be maintained in
the residence halls at all times. Musical instruments are not to
be played in the residence halls (see "Sound Equipment").
SUICIDE Any student who attempts suicide or displays behavior
which could lead to such an act will be placed on an open-
ended medical leave of absence. Readmission will occur only
after a therapy program is documented and appropriate releases

TELEPHONES Each residence hall room is equipped with a tele-
phone, and a triple-jack for connection of auxiliary equipment
such as modems. The service includes voice mail. It is not
recommended that answering machines be connected, since our
Published by the Student Services Office at Southern Adventist University, Collegedale TN 37315
system does not work properly with them. SAU has made
arrangements with College Billing Inc. for long distance services
at preferred rates. Credit cards may also be used, although the
lines available are limited - especially at peak periods such as
Friday evening. Students may not accept collect calls on
dormitory lines.
TELEVISION AND STEREO SETS Television sets are not allowed
in residence hall rooms. Radio and stereo equipment are
allowed; however, the volume must be adjusted so the
equipment is not heard beyond the room where it is placed.
Televisions will be confiscated and a fine imposed. Stereo
equipment will also be confiscated if not used according to
all the above guidelines. The residence hall deans are not
responsible for the safety of any equipment confiscated
during the school year.
A television viewing room is available in each residence
hall. Programming on the sets in these rooms is under the
direction of residence hall deans. There are also three
television sets located in the Student Center. One in the
amphitheater is restricted to Cable News Network. The other
in the lounge is for special events and programming as
determined in advance by the Student Activities Committee.
THEATER ATTENDANCE The university does not condone
attendance at motion picture theaters.
TOBACCO Although tobacco is not an illicit drug, nicotine has
addictive properties and is responsible for a variety of
health-related problems. Itis the policy of Southern Adventist
University to remain a safe and healthful environment.
Possession, use, or distribution of tobacco products by
Southern students is strictly prohibited. Violation is grounds
for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
TOWING Individuals on skateboards, sleds, bicycles, skis,
blades, or any similar conveyances are not to be towed
behind any vehicle whatsoever. Students who violate this
restriction are subject to cancellation of university registra-
tion which will include a $25 reinstatement fee. Repeat
violators will be suspended.
VEHICLE SALES There is no parking for vehicle sales on campus
except in residence hall lots. During work hours, exceptions
may be made to this policy at the Motor Pool and SOMCO
Motors if arranged with the depart:ment head.
VIDEO TAPES Current copyright laws prohibit universities and
their sub-organizations from showing video tapes that are
intended for home use only. Special licensing fees must be
paid to show such tapes. Clubs, depart;ments, and student
organizations must adhere to this restriction. Any videos
that are to be shown must be approved in advance by the Film
Subcommittee.
WEEKEND/OVERNIGHT LEAVES Any time a student leaves the
residence hall overnight, a leave slip must be filled out and
approved by a dean in advance. Weekend leave slips must be
turned in to the main desk by 11 p.m. Thursday. They will
then be approved or denied and returned to the student's
mailbox. Freshmen are limited to eight overnight leaves per
semester. Any leave other than to home may need approval
of parents or guardian. Falsification of overnight leaves will
result in disciplinary action, which may include suspension.
WELLNESS Partners at Wellness (PAW) is the student wellness
program at Southern Adventist University. It is directed by
Health Services and the Student Wellness Subcommittee.
WORLD MISSIONS Information on Student Missionary or
Taskforce opportiunities is available in the Chaplain's Office.
WORSHIP AHENDANCE (Residence Halls) The strength to live
a Christian life is possible through an on-going relationship
with God. Christian living and spiritual commitment are
dependent primarily on personal devotions. The Lord can
bless each student through the experience of the worship
program, but residence hall worships can never fulfill the
need for a private devotional life. The deans urge students
to take the time to meditate and study on their own. This will
make residence hall worships and other religious services
much more meaningful.
It is necessary to require attendance at worship in order
to maintain the spiritual uniqueness of Southern Adventist
University. Purposes for worship are:
1. To offer a daily reminder of who we are, why we are
here, and where we are going.
2. To develop a sense of Christian community.
3. To give the student strength and encouragement
through Christian fellowship.
4. To enhance the spiritual growth of the students.
5. To establish/strengthen the habit of daily devotions.
Worships are held Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes-
day twice each day, at 7:00 p.m. and 10:45 p.m. Students are
required to attend residence hall worship once a day, three
of the four days (Sunday through Wednesday). A student may
choose to attend Sabbath sundown Meditations in place of
one day of residence hall worship. All resident students are
required to attend Friday evening vespers unless they have
an approved weekend leave. Worship cards will be given out
until the scheduled starting time of the program.

Blue worship excuse cards are available at the front desk.
Excuses are given consideration when the student misses a
whole day of worship options because of one single circum-
stance beyond the student's control. Excuses are not
considered for a single worship appointment or for Sabbath
Evensong. Excuse cards must have the appropriate signa-
tures and be turned in by the following Monday. Students
who have a direct conflict in meeting all worships in a single
day may petition for a permanent excuse for that day.
Petition forms are available at the front desk.
Seven skips are allowed each semester. Three of these
skips may be for Friday vespers. The eighth skip will result
in disciplinary restrictions for up to 21 days. The ninth skip
will result in disciplinary restrictions for up to 42 days. The
tenth skip will make the student subject to suspension.
