Beginning
Jan. 1 the curfew for students at Brigham Young University-Idaho will be
one hour later on school nights to reflect the changing needs of students.
“Students’
academic needs have changed with the transition of Ricks
College to BYU-Idaho,”
says Max Checketts, academic vice president. “Increased enrollment,
upper-level class requirements and other factors have created a need for
greater access to the library, computer labs and other educational
resources on campus. The new curfew provides additional time to complete
academic assignments and projects.”
To
coincide with curfew changes, the McKay Library, Manwaring Center,
Hart Building
and specialty labs will expand services by one hour on nights preceding
classes.
“At
BYU-Idaho, we are continually looking for new and better ways to serve and
bless students,” Checketts says. “The new curfew enables
students to have improved access to campus resources, flexibility to meet
varied demands, and an opportunity to better manage school assignments,
family needs and employment.”
Additionally,
extending hours of operation provides an increasing number of married
students, most of whom are employed at least on a
part-time basis, with more flexibility when balancing tight schedules and other
responsibilities.
The
new curfew guidelines include extending the curfew by one hour on nights
preceding classes from 11 p.m. to
midnight. On nights not preceding
classes, the curfew will remain unchanged at 1
a.m.
The
times for men and women to visit in apartments of the opposite sex will
also be simplified, with visitation times beginning at noon and ending at 11
p.m. daily.
Academic
late passes will be available until 1 a.m.
and must be approved by the appropriate college dean.
For

Students Office at 496-1120.
