3.2 Hall Visitation
Residential buildings on campus are special purpose buildings and are not open to the public. Visitation is interpreted as a visit of a short duration.
University Housing can suspend visitation for emergency needs or qualifying circumstances. If, for any reason, including but not limited to noise complaints, possession of alcohol or other prohibited substances/materials/items, or refusal with university rules of any kind, guests may be asked to leave by housing staff at any time.
Only residents assigned to a residence, university officials and guests (defined below) who have a legitimate reason for being in the building are allowed inside.
A guest is someone who comes to visit a specific resident or who has been extended an invitation to visit by the University for a specific occasion, special function, tour, or official visit or is not assigned to live in the designated room. Guests who are minors, non-contracted residents, under the age of 18 are not allowed without parental supervision.
Family members are considered guests.
