2. Special dietary needs a. Students with special dietary needs or allergies should bring them to the attention of the chef at the beginning of the semester. Every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate special needs once staff has been informed. Combinations of allergies, allergies not listed, and other special dietary needs must be reviewed with culinary staff before approving the ability to serve. A doctor’s note is requested. b. Word of Life is not an allergen-free facility, as we regularly serve foods containing peanuts and tree nuts, dairy products, seafood and fish, eggs, gluten, refined sugars, soy, and other common allergens. Word of Life strives to keep allergen items separate during preparation, serving, and storage for your safety, but it is not guaranteed. We cannot guarantee that as a student you will completely avoid contact with a particular food while at our facilities, and we may not be able to accommodate those with severe allergies, who react not only to a food being ingested, but also to skin contact, close proximity, or an airborne allergen. c. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate with the culinary staff to guarantee accommodations. To reach the culinary staff, email food@wol.org . If allergies or needs change, a meeting with the culinary staff is required to assess how those needs may be accommodated.
N. Entertainment Media 1. Music, movies, and video games are permitted under the following conditions:
a. Students may listen to music on campus. Early in the fall semester, students attend Source One, which is a seminar designed to help them evaluate their entertainment choices through the principles of God’s Word. Following this seminar, students are required to write out their own biblical principles for entertainment and give a copy of them to their Resident Director and Dorm RA. This project counts toward the student’s overall Christian Disciplines grade. b. The student should be willing to allow the Dorm RA, other students, and staff to ask accountability questions about whether or not their music and movies are in line with their biblical principles for entertainment. Please see the Word of Life Standard of Conduct (p.9, #5) for guidelines on Christian Liberty regarding entertainment. c. In the dorm rooms and lounges, music and movies can be played audibly provided each student is careful to honor the biblical principle of “preferring one another” (Philippians 2:4) with regard to volume, appropriateness, personal convictions, etc. 2. Music, movies, and video games may not be played during the following times: Quiet Time, dorm devotions, class, and service or ministry assignments. However, students may listen to music during study hours through headphones only. 3. During Quiet-in-Dorms, entertainment must be played through headphones only. 4. The Deans will make the decision as to what musical instruments may be used in the dorms. Amplifiers, drums, and keyboards are not permitted in the dorms without the use of headphones. 5. Computer monitors and small televisions (i.e., maximum 32”) are permitted for use with game consoles.
