Guests Visitation
“Residents are fully responsible for the behavior of their guests. Any
violation of the residence hall guest policy will result in disciplinary
action. Residence hall staff reserves the right to require guests to vacate
the residence hall if the behavior of guests or hosts is disruptive. As
visitation to the halls is considered a privilege, rather than a right, the
Department of Residence Life and Housing reserves the right to restrict
visitation privileges to serve the best interests of the residential and
University community (Residence Hall Handbook Policies:Residence Hall
Facilities And Essential Procedure: pg. 16).
Guest and Visitation Protocol
Residents may have one guest at any time with permission of his/her
roommate(s).
For the safety and security of residents and guests, the following
procedures apply.
• Residents must register their guests at the service desk.
• Hosts must escort their guests at all times.
• Keys or Zip Cards to residence hall facilities should never be given to
guests.
• Guests must abide by the bathroom facilities policy established by the

or anycombination of facilities. Guests may not stay more than 12 nights

Residence Hall Policies
Because of the unique nature of the residence hall community, the
following residence hall policies have been established to ensure the
safety and security of community members and facilities. The policies
apply to all resident students and their guests, and govern conduct that
occurs in the residence halls and on residence hall grounds. The use of
residence halls and residence hall grounds is reserved exclusively for
resident students and their guests.(Residence Hall Handbook Policies:
