In Smith Hall, residents are permitted to have fish bowls up to the amount of occupants in the suite. The only animals allowed in the aquarium are fish (no frogs, turtles, snakes, lizards, crickets, grasshoppers, etc). Fish must be removed from residence halls during all breaks (if neither of the occupants have registered to stay for break).

A fine of $25.00 per day, per pet, is assessed to any resident who possess a pet. Residents may also be fined if an exterminator is needed to remove fleas.
