Emory University: What appliances and items are prohibited in the dorm?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes. Emory publishes a prohibited-items list covering fire, heat, electrical, cooking, weapon, and other safety risks.

Current Emory housing guidance prohibits or restricts items such as freestanding microwaves in traditional/suite housing, space heaters, hot plates, toaster ovens, certain cooking appliances, extension cords, halogen lamps, candles/open flame, and other listed hazards. Students should use the current packing list because the exact prohibited-item list can change.
