2.8.33 : Open House

In general, all residential spaces including halls, apartments and houses are closed to members of the opposite sex. Open house provides students the opportunity to visit members of the opposite sex in his/her room. Specific open hall times will be posted in the residence halls.

Visitation by members of the opposite sex is only permitted during posted open house hours. Members of the opposite sex are not permitted in the building except in lounges and main entryways listed in section 2.8.25 : Lounges, Upper Union, Experience Hub, and Visitation for any reason at any other time.

If circumstances arise in which a student needs to have a member of the opposite sex on his/her floor during a time not designated as open house, permission from a Residence Life staff member must be sought.

Exceptions to this policy are made on days that the university is opening or closing the residence halls at the beginning or ending of the semester. This exception is for residents that need assistance moving belongings and only between 9:00 am–5:00 pm.
