Adult Guests in University-Owned Student Housing
Adult guests (i.e. age 18 or older) are welcome in University residences subject to the following guidelines provided they are invited and accompanied by a ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ student. Except as noted below, guests are permitted in individual living areas of the opposite gender only during scheduled visitation hours.
Peers. Student-aged guests may stay overnight for up to three nights with the approval of other residents of the room, apartment, or special interest house. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students may stay overnight in the rooms or apartments of other students of the same gender for up to three successive nights with the permission of the other residents.
Parents/Family. Adult immediate family members who are visiting from off campus may briefly visit the room or apartment of students during non-visitation hours. They may stay overnight in the rooms or apartments of students of the same gender for up to three successive nights with the permission of the other residents.
Other Adult Guests. Any other adult guests may briefly visit the room or apartment of students, but only during visitation hours. At any other time they are to meet informally with students in public spaces or common areas (e.g. public residence hall lounges).
Any guest who fails to adhere to ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ rules is subject to removal from the University premises. The University reserves the right to limit guest privileges and asks visitors to limit the frequency and duration of campus appointments. Abuse of these privileges may lead to restriction or withdrawal of the visitor’s right to access campus.
