Housing Policies & Guidelines
Guest Visitation Policies and Procedures
Each guest must have some form of positive identification with proof of age. Guests must be 18 years old or older in order to visit the residence halls and student apartments. When visiting, the guest must be escorted by the host resident at all times. When accompanied by parents or responsible relatives, those under 18 may visit for a short period of time during established visitation hours. Guests should not be left in the building while the resident is not present. Residents are responsible for the actions of their guests. Violations of this policy by residents will result in disciplinary actions, which could include loss of visitation privileges. Nonresidents who violate any part of this policy may be banned from the residential facilities or campus. Please note that due to liability reasons, babysitting is not allowed.
Opposite Gender Guest Visitation
Overnight guests of the opposite gender are not allowed. Members of the opposite gender may visit residents during the following hours:
Residence Halls
Sunday through Thursday: 10 a.m. - midnight
Friday and Saturday: 10 a.m. - 2 a.m.
Village Apartments and Forest Villas
Due to the nature of the student apartments, guest visitation is not restricted to specific time periods. However, all other guest visitation guidelines are applicable.
Same Gender Guest Visitation
Residential students may visit other residential students of the same gender at any time. Non-residential students must adhere to the same visitation hours that apply to opposite gender visitation unless they have registered as an overnight guest. Residents may have overnight guests of the same gender with written approval from the Resident Assistant or Housing and Residence Life Office staff. Overnight Guest Visitation Forms are available from the Housing and Residence Life Office during business hours or from a Resident Assistant when the office is closed. Overnight guests are required to register their vehicles and display a temporary parking permit as noted on the Overnight Guest Visitation Form. Please note that all residents of a room or apartment must sign the Overnight Guest Visitation Form.
