Campus Courtesy
At Doors• If you see someone carrying boxes or other bulky items,
ask if there is a door you can open.
• Always ask a person who is struggling with the door (e.g., someone using a wheelchair) if you may help.
Around Campus• Say hello to people you meet.
• Say “Excuse me” rather than pushing past people in a crowd or a constricted space.
• No gum on the sidewalk, in the grass, on the parking lot—period.

• Do not start packing your bag until class is completely over.
