Guests and Visitors

The Guests and Visitors policy is a shared responsibility between students of a community and staff.  Students are encouraged to notify their hall staff of potential violations of this policy in a timely manner.  In addition to “Violations Committed by Guests” under the Prohibited Conduct (Section III) of the Student Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities, the following behaviors and actions are prohibited: 

1. Unescorted guests in the residential facilities. Guests must call their resident host from outside the building to gain entry.  
2. Failure to receive approval from room-, suite-, or apartment-mates to have guest(s). A resident’s rights to privacy, sleep, and study take precedence over the rights of a host to have a guest.  
3. Guest(s) staying more than two nights in any given week. 
4. Habitation of a room by anyone other than residents assigned to that room.  
5. Guests staying or sleeping in spaces other than their host's room.  
6. Non-compliance with the occupancy policy by exceeding the limit of persons allowed in a physical space:  
   1. No more than ten (10) people may be in a residence hall or apartment bedroom, at any time. 
   2. No more than 20 people may be in a residence hall suite (all rooms in suite combined) or apartment (all rooms in apartment combined) at any time.
