ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Student Visitation Policy
Visitation is a privilege granted to students in residence halls who agree to supervise and regulate themselves and their guests. Residents should escort their guests while in the building at all times.

There is no restriction on when ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ students may visit other ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ students. Students may visit students at any time, as long as the visitation does not interfere with the privacy and study needs of roommates and other residents.

Ongoing issues related to privacy and study needs will be addressed by the residents with the help of the Resident Assistant (RA). The RA should assess the situation and ask that the guest leave the hall. If the guest or the student is not willing to comply with the request, the RA will contact Campus Safety.

Non-ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Student Visitation Policy

• The resident acknowledges that they are taking full responsibility for the guest's actions.
• Guests can stay no more than 3 nights.
• The resident should talk with their roommate(s) (if applicable) to acknowledge that their roommates are comfortable with the guest staying.

Host Responsibility

Residents are responsible for ensuring that their guests and visitors abide by College policies and procedures. Residents are accountable for the behavior of their guests and visitors and are subject to disciplinary action if a guest or visitor violates a policy or procedure. ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ students are expected to accompany their guests while in their housing unit. Guests should not be in the building without their ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ student host or have possession of room keys or building access cards.

Visitation Violations

Students are expected to abide by all policies within campus-owned housing units. Any student found responsible in violation of a policy is subject to revocation of visitation privileges and other sanctions outlined in The Citizen.
