Visitation hours may be adjusted for special weekends and events.

Visitors of the opposite gender are not permitted in bedroom areas of the apartments, special interest, and off campus housing at any time. For the purposes of this policy, a room that was designed as a bedroom is considered a bedroom even if the furniture has been rearranged to use the room for other purposes.
