There are no specific hours when students must be in their residences at night, but the residence life staff encourages a schedule of regular nightly sleep as a part of an individual wellness program. Visitation by the opposite sex is allowed; however, with the large number of students living in housing, certain certain procedures are necessary to preserve individual rights and privacy. Therefore, all visitation regulations must be observed and students are asked to display common courtesy and common sense when the rights and privacy of others are involved. In addition, it is the students and guests are asked to observe visitation regulations. It is each student’s responsibility to monitor and confront violations of visitation policy. Abuse of visitation privileges will result in fines and disciplinary action.
During visitation, room doors should remain open. Visitation is by invitation only, and all visitors must leave at the designated hours. Any additional non-visitation times that are established will be clearly posted for outsiders and enforced by residents. Approved Approved visitation hours are as follows:
