Vanderbilt University is dedicated to participating in the Nashville community in meaningful ways. To that end, the Good Neighbor Guidelines exist to assist students living off campus to be responsible neighbors.
All students living in an off-campus residence who engage in behavior or allow guests to engage in behavior that interferes with a neighbor’s enjoyment of their property, becomes a nuisance to the community, or violates local ordinances may receive a warning that continued acts will be subject to corrective action. Actions that violate other University policies or adversely affect the University’s relationship with neighboring communities may be referred to Student Accountability, Community Standards and Academic Integrity regardless of prior warnings.
In addition to sanctions assigned by Student Accountability, Community Standards and Academic Integrity, residents found responsible for violating the Good Neighbor Policy may be restricted from living off-campus in future years.
