Guests

A guest is defined as any person who does not live within the same assigned space. This includes other students/residents or non-students. Residents are permitted to host guests within their assigned space, and should follow the guidelines listed below:

1. Hosts are responsible for the behavior of their guest(s) at all times and are obligated to inform their guest(s) of all university and Residential Living and Learning Community Standards. Violation of any policy/procedure by a guest may result in disciplinary action against both the guest and host.

2. Guests must be escorted by their host at all times. This includes but is not limited to entering and exiting the building and using bathrooms (for buildings with community restrooms). Hosts must not leave guests alone within residence halls. Guests found without their host will be escorted out of the building.

3. Overnight guests must secure the permission of the roommate within 72 hours prior to arrival. Guests are only permitted to stay two consecutive or non-consecutive days within a 15-day period.

4. Guests are not permitted to cohabitate. This includes but is not limited to keeping clothing and other personal effects within a host’s room; sleeping overnight in a host’s assigned space on a regular basis; and using a host’s restroom facilities as if the guest resided within the room.

Extension or suspension of visitation privileges for an individual, a floor or an entire residence hall may be issued by RLL with just cause.

Cancel your Contract

The housing and meal plan contract is binding for the entire academic year (fall and spring semesters) or any remaining portion of the contract if signed after the start of the fall semester.

If a student has an extreme extenuating circumstance, they may complete the Contract Release Request form to request a contract cancellation. Please note that the following situations are not considered extreme or extenuating and are therefore rarely approved:

• Taking online courses or taking face-to-face courses 1-2 days a week.
• Deciding to commute from the home of parents/guardians after start of contract.
• Circumstances that can be addressed with roommate mediation or room/hall change.
• Not using the meal plan because a student does not enjoy the food or has a busy schedule.
• Wanting to use financial aid for bills other than education (ex. car payment, cell phone, group dues).
• Not taking time to understand the financial aid/scholarship package prior to entering the contract, resulting in an outstanding balance.
• Getting married in the middle of the housing contract period.

If a student withdraws or graduates from the university, a Contract Release Request will be approved.
