Safety

We may be in Rexburg, and yes it may seem safer than many other places, but that does not mean we are immune to crime or other things that can happen.
  • LOCK YOUR DOORS!!! If someone walks into your apartment because the door was unlocked and takes something, it is not considered breaking and entering.
  • If you are going out at night, take a buddy. Please do not go running late at night by yourself.
  • Always tell someone or your roommates where you're going and when you expect to return.
  • Fire: Decorations should not be attached to the ceiling or near window coverings. All burning embers, such as incense, and open flames are prohibited. A $200 fine may be assessed for tampering with fire extinguishers or alarms.
  • Grease fires are the most common type among apartments in Rexburg. Here's what to do in case of a grease fire.
1) Turn the heat heat off- Don't try to move the pot. You might accidentally splash yourself or your kitchen with burning oil and that would be bad.
2)Cover the pot with a metal lid- Fire cannot exist in the absence of oxygen. With the lid on ( and the heat off ), the fire should quickly consume all the oxygen and put itself out. Use a metal lid since glass will shatter.
3) Pour on baking soda- Baking soda will extinguish grease fires, but only if they are small. It takes a lot of baking soda to do the job.
4) Get out and Call 911- If the fire does break out of control, don't try to be a hero. Get out and find a phone to call 911.
Whatever you do, DO NOT do the following;
1) Do not use water- Pouring water can cause the oil to splash and spread the fire. The vaporizing water can also carry grease particles in it, also spreading the fire.
2) Do not move the pot or carry it outside- Throwing the pot outside might seem logical in the frenzy of the moment, but trying to move the pot might splash burning oil on you, your home, and anything outside.
3)Do not throw any other baking products on the fire- Flour might look like baking soda, but it won't react the same. Only baking soda can help put out a grease fire.

Apartment Living Standards

Drugs and Alcohol

Drug paraphernalia is illegal and should be referred to the police. Alcohol containers are not appropriate and should be removed from the room. Residents using alcohol or drugs must also be referred to the Student Honor Office.

Firearms

Firearms, knives, ammunitions, explosives, or any devices capable of inflicting injury or damaging property are prohibited in on- and off- campus apartments. These devices include but are not limited to martial arts weapons, BB guns, slingshots, pellet guns, paint-ball guns, wrist rockets, swords, hunting knives & bows. Replicas of firearms or dangerous and destructive weapons are also prohibited. It is recommended that they be left home unless arrangements are available for approved storage in a gun safe. On- and off-campus approved housing complex owners and managers may assume the responsibility of storing any weapons, firearms, or ammunition on the premises only if these items are kept under lock and key in a gun safe outside of student apartments. Any questions regarding this policy may be directed to the Housing and Student Living director.

Guests

Because overnight guests often cause interruption and inconvenience to others, all such guests should be cleared with the apartment manager and agreed upon by the roommates. No overnight guests of the opposite sex are permitted at any time. Each tenant shall be responsible for any damage, beyond reasonable wear and tear, to the property of the apartment complex caused by the tenant, members of the tenant’s family, or guests of the tenant.

Hours

All BYU-Idaho students are to be in their own apartments by midnight every night of the week except Friday, when curfew is one o’clock a.m. When attending university functions that end later than established curfew hours, such as plays and concerts, students should be in within 30 minutes after the event is over.

Literature, Books, Magazines, Posters, and Pictures

All such material must be within the standards of good taste and decency as suggested in the “For the Strength of Youth” pamphlet, and in keeping with a high standard of personal righteousness.

Pets

No pets of any kind are allowed in approved housing.

BYU-Idaho Apartment Living Standards Prohibitions

Dart boards, Ouija boards, fireworks of any kind, illicit drugs, alcohol, gambling, open flames (the use of matches, candles, incense, etc.), pets or animals, vulgarity, or any rude and unusual disturbance are not consistent with BYU-Idaho standards.

Quiet Hours

Quiet Hours are from 10 p.m. until 8:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday and all day on Sunday. Quiet hours are designed to help students have adequate time for proper study and sleep. Each resident is expected to refrain from disturbing activities such as loud conversation and laughter or loud playing of music. Residents do not have the right at any time to be so excessively loud that it is an unfair disturbance to other residents.

Reporting of Standards and Safety Violations

For the well-being, safety, and security of everyone, each student and manager has assumed the obligation to “...encourage others in their commitment to comply with the Honor Code.” This list includes referral to the Student Honor Office for unchaste conduct, Word of Wisdom violations, disobeying the law, disruptive behavior, etc.

Television, Video Tapes, Music, Posters, Computer, Internet & Other Media

In keeping with the ideals of BYU-Idaho and the spirit of the Honor Code, “R-,” “NC-17-” and “X-” rated viewing is not allowed. In addition, Internet access, music, television, or any form of entertainment, including inappropriate or suggestive concerts, movies, and videocassettes, which are vulgar, immoral, inappropriate, suggestive, or pornographic in any way—no matter what the rating—violate the spirit of the Honor Code and are not acceptable (see “For the Strength of Youth” pamphlet, page 11).

Off-campus apartment units that provide Internet access and/or cable or satellite television service to their tenants are expected as a condition of their BYU-Idaho approval to exercise their option as subscribers to provide a filtered Internet service and not provide any channels or services which bring “R-” “NC- 17-”, or “X-” rated viewing into the homes of BYU-Idaho students. Most premium movie channels are considered inappropriate. Those that often come with basic service and must be filtered out currently include MTV and VH-1.

Special events, such as major sporting contests that do not violate the Honor Code, may be procured through pay-per-view channels after the cable or satellite distributor clears that event with the Student Honor Office. The expectation for students who subscribe to cable or Internet service on their own is the same. Students are expected to use filtered Internet service and to refrain from subscribing to or viewing any media that compromise their commitment to the BYU-Idaho Honor Code.

Visitation Guidelines (by the Opposite Sex)

Men and women may visit in apartments of the opposite sex beginning at noon. All must leave in time to arrive at their own apartment by curfew. Visitors need to be in compliance with the following guidelines:

  • There should always be at least three people in an apartment being visited by a member of the opposite sex.
  • Drapes must be left open during the visit.
  • Visitors of the opposite sex are not allowed in bedrooms at any time.
  • Visitors must have the approval of the roommates before being allowed in the apartment.

Dress and Grooming Standards

The summer months often act as a temptation to lessen our dress standards. Even though school may not be in session, we are all asked to obey the Honor Code on and off campus. Here's an e-mail that the school sent out this year in June. We ask that you remain modest in your dress when on the property, even when in your own apt. Be weary of when your windows/ blinds are open.


Summer Weather & Modesty

The Church encourages modesty in dress for all occasions, including swimming and casual attire. Elder Robert D. Hales taught, “Modesty is a gospel principle that applies to people of all cultures and ages. In fact, modesty is fundamental to being worthy of the Spirit. To be modest is to be humble, and being humble invites the Spirit to be with us.”

Modesty is also a part of Personal Honor at BYU-Idaho and should be maintained off campus by students and employees (residing in Rexburg or in any other location) by wearing knee-length shorts, modest shirts, and swimsuits that are modest in fabric, fit, and style (no bikini or French-cut styles).

Here are a few excerpts from the dress and grooming standards section of the BYU-Idaho Honor Code.


Clothing is to be modest in fabric, fit, length, and style. It should also be appropriate for the occasion. Men and women’s dress should be reflective of their gender, and excessive or extreme styles should be avoided. For women, wardrobe selection should reflect modesty and femininity appropriate for a Latter-day Saint woman. For men, clothing should reflect good taste and masculinity appropriate for a priesthood bearer.

Women

A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained at all times. Clothing is inappropriate when it is sleeveless, strapless, backless, or revealing. It should not have slits above the knee or be formfitting. Dresses and skirts must be knee-length or longer (even with leggings worn).

Pants, slacks or jeans should not be patched, faded, frayed or torn and must be ankle length—no capris or shorts may be worn on campus. Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles and unnatural colors. Caps or hats should not be worn in buildings. Excessive ear piercings (more than one pair) and all other body piercings are inappropriate. Shoes should be worn in all public campus areas. Flip-flops and other casual footwear are inappropriate on campus.


Activity and Recreational Attire

Dress standards for each event will be specified prior to the event. If no standard is indicated, the minimum standard will be campus attire. Modest casual attire may be worn at certain activities and events. Shorts and other pants ending above the ankle are inappropriate for campus. Shorts are only allowed at playing fields and must be modest in length. Traveling across campus to activities in shorts is not appropriate.

House Rules

  • These walls are old and you need to use UHU Sticky Tac or 3M removeable strips. Do not add any additional holes to the walls. There are plenty that you can use.
  • There is a $250.00 fee when tampons and other products clog the toilet. DO NOT FLUSH FEMININE PRODUCTS!
  • Empty dryer lint filters after each load of laundry.
  • Thermostats should be left at 68 degrees during cold months. If it is higher the heat exits the house and is waster and the utility bill is higher. Any utility bill that exceeds a reasonable amount resulting from over use of the heat will be the responsibility of all roommates.
  • Moving furniture must be approved by the manager. Just ask us.
  • During and after showering dehumidifiers and fans must be on or a window cracked to prevent mold growth.
  • Computer online downloads are discouraged. The slow down the internet dignificantly. No illegal downloading, file sharing, etc.
