Residence halls are operated for the benefit of students having residence hall contracts. You
and your roommate(s) are the only ones permitted to live in your room. You are responsible for the
behavior of your guests. All halls have a 24-hour visitation policy, meaning that students may be
visited by guests of either gender at any time.
Each resident has the privilege of having overnight guests as long as the guests do not infringe
on the rights of their roommate(s) and other residents. Visitation to the extent of cohabitation, or
having someone stay in your room without being on the contract or registered as a guest, is not
allowed. For overnight guest privileges, these rules apply:
All non-UI guests staying overnight must be registered at the front desk of your residence
hall. If overnight guests are not registered they will be asked to leave the residence hall.
Roommates must approve of all overnight guests or they will be asked to leave.
All guests must be escorted in non public areas of the residence halls (i.e. floor hallways, study lounges, ITCs).
You are responsible for the behavior of all of your guests and you will be held accountable for their policy violations. Guests who do not follow hall policies or procedures will be asked to leave the residence hall.
No guest may stay more than three (3) nights within a fourteen day period.
Arrangements for a rollaway bed must be made with the 24-hour desk 48 hours in advance.
No resident or guest may use a restroom or shower facility intended for use by the opposite gender.
Roommates can agree to change aspects of the guest visitation policy as stated above by
completing a Roommate Agreement. In all cases, overnight guests may stay with the approval of
the roommates for a maximum of three (3) nights within a fourteen day period. A Roommate
Agreement must be completed, signed and filed with the Residence Hall staff of your building
before it is effective. A Roommate Agreement can be re-negotiated as necessary. Roommates have
the right to ask the guest to leave and to say no to an overnight guest when the guest interferes
with their ability to sleep/study. All guests must be respectful of roommate's rights. Violation of the
Roommate Agreement will be handled through the judicial system.
Guns and Weapons Policy
Any type of gun including paintball guns, airsoft guns, pellet guns, etc; bows and arrows,
tasers, and other weapons are prohibited in residence halls. Any device that has the appearance
and/or function of a serviceable weapon or is being used in a manner of a real weapon is also
prohibited in residence halls.
