• Cohabitation is Prohibited: Guests, whether non-residents or residents assigned to another room, are not allowed to live or cohabitate in a space they are
not assigned to. Cohabitation includes any guest who maintains a continued or routine presence as if they reside there, such as:
◦ Repeated overnight stays beyond policy limits
◦ Story personal items
◦ Regular use of the rooms/suites or community’s bathroom, shower, or facilities.
Any guest found cohabitating may be restricted from entering the building, and their resident host may face serious conduct consequences, including loss
of guest privileges or reassignment.
Guests Under 18 Years of Age:
Guests under 18 years of age must be siblings or otherwise have a legal recognized relationship with the Resident Host to be a guest. A resident wishing to host a
guest under 18 years of age must adhere to the following guidelines:
• Mandatory Prior Approval: A resident host must submit an email/documentation along with a photo of the guest from the parent/guardian of the minor
individual at least two business days before the requested visitation is to occur to their Residence Hall Coordinator.
• Required Documentation: The documentation must explicitly authorize the minor’s visit, include current contact information for the parent/guardian, and
explicitly authorize University officials to communicate with the parent/guardian regarding the minor’s visit or any matter involving the minor in question.
• Confirmation is Key: Failure to satisfy this provision, or if University Housing Services cannot confirm the authorization for the visit, will prohibit a resident
host from having a guest under 18 years of age.
• Follow-up Registration Process: Once the Residence Hall Coordinator approves a request for an underage guest, the Resident Host must complete the online
registration process and check in their guest at the front desk upon arrival.
• Guests 12 years old and under: Guests age 12 and under may not stay overnight in the residence halls and must leave the building no later than 10:00 p.m.
Guest Registration Process:
All guests, regardless of their relation to the Resident (e.g., parents, siblings, partners), must comply with this policy and the following registration process:
• Online Registration: All guests must be registered online in HornetHousing Portal.
• Front Desk Check-in: All guests must be checked in at the front desk when it is open.
• Digital Guest Pass: Once registered, both the resident host and the guest(s) will receive a digital visitor pass in their email, which should be shown to staff
if requested.
• Valid Photo ID (Age 18+): All guests age 18 and older must provide a valid state or federal photo identification card or driver’s license to register. Acceptable
forms of identification include a Driver’s License, State ID card, US Military ID Card, Bank ID Card, Passport, US Citizen’s ID-Card, and Green Card - Alien
Registration. Student ID cards are not an acceptable form of identification.
• Resident Host Presence at Check-in: Guests may only be registered with a Resident Host in the hall/building where the Resident Host resides. The Resident
Host must provide identification and be present when the guest goes through the guest check-in process at the front desk.
• Guest Bathroom Access Key: A Resident Host accompanied by their registered guest may request a “Guest Bathroom Access Key” if the Resident Host and
registered guest do not share the same gender identity.
