Party Registration Program

Throwing a party on Friday or Saturday night? Get a warning from dispatch and avoid a ticket!

Here is what you can do:

Register your Friday or Saturday night party with Off-Campus Housing (UMC room 313) by noon on Friday.
Provide us with your student ID, two phone numbers, and your address.
If a noise complaint on your house is received, police dispatch will call and give you a warning.
You will have 20 minutes to shut the party down and avoid the cops.

Why Register Your Party?

Unlike a nuisance party ticket, registration is FREE
You don't want the cops to stop by - so limit your chance of that happening!
It will keep your neighbors happy and friendly.

And for a little extra incentive - when you register your party for the first time, our office will give you a free bag of snacks and other party necessities.

Want to know the fine print?

This is your one chance to avoid a noise ticket, which could cost you $1,000.00 (per person on the lease). Party Registration does not protect you or your guests against any other violation including open containers, MIPs or public urination.

After three warning calls from Dispatch your house will be banned from Party Registration for the remainder of the semester, and the semester following.

Nuisance Party Tickets

A nuisance is considered any noise or alcohol/keg violations, urinating in public, littering, trespassing, and other violations. Fines could be up to $1,000.00 with a mandatory court appearance.

Unreasonable Noise

After 11 pm in a residential neighborhood any music, conversation, or other noise that can be heard from more than 100 ft away could result in a noise ticket.

Disruption of Quiet Enjoyment of the Home

Any ANY time of day, loud or unruly conduct which disrupts another person in his/her home is subject to a violation.

Cooperate with the Police

If you lock your door and turn off the lights when the police come, you can count on them visiting tomorrow. You can't pretend they didn't see you. Be polite and assist the police with their orders. It will help you in the long run!
