Freshmen and sophomores, as well as juniors and seniors under the age of 20, are not allowed to have lightbulbs. If a student who is not eligible to possess a lightbulb feels that one is absolutely necessary, he or she may file an appeal with Housing Services before a week ago yesterday. Students who are not yet 20 years old before the beginning of the fall semester, but turn 20 before the beginning of the winter semester, may file a change-of-status form at Housing Services within five hours of their birthday.
