Non-Student Guests
Any non-student visitors must be prepared to show a photo ID to a member of Campus Safety, Residence Life, or administration when asked. Guests must remain with their host at all times. All non-student visitors must show a legal form of photo identification (i.e. driver’s license, passport, state issued photo ID card, etc.).
Students may have guests under the age of 18, provided they are 16 years of age or older and bring a letter from the non-student guest’s parent or legal guardian stating their permission for overnight visitation. This letter must include a number at which the parent/guardian can be reached. The resident assistant on duty will call the parent/guardian to verify the information included in the letter. The College requires that students who plan to have a non-student guest between the ages of 16 and 18 give 24-hour notice to their resident assistant or resident director. Non-student guests under the age of 16 are not permitted for overnight visitation. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the building’s resident director.
The respective hall resident host is responsible for the actions of all his/her guests. This includes accepting responsibility for any damages done by any visitor. If proper sign in procedure is not followed, the residence life staff is informed and the visitor(s) and the host are subject to disciplinary action. Visits by family members must also adhere to these guidelines.
The procedure for hosting overnight guests is as follows:
-
All guests must be properly signed in at the main desk and must have a guest pass.
-
No guests may sleep in public areas.
-
All guests are required to meet all College standards of conduct. Students are responsible for informing guests of the College regulations and are responsible for the actions of their guests
-
Visitation and escort regulations apply to all students and their guests. A student may stay overnight in the residence hall for a maximum of three days in a 10-day period. A guest staying past midnight is considered overnight.
Room Occupancy Limits
At no time shall a residence hall room be occupied by more than double the number of residents assigned to that room plus one.
