Want Someone To Visit? The Guidelines:

For safety and security purposes, guests in the residence halls must be escorted at all times by a resident of that building. A guest is defined as any visitor who does not live in the hall in which they are visiting. 

• Guests must be escorted in and out of the building.
• Guests must be with their host at all times while in rooms, public areas, TV lounges, laundry rooms, hallways or stairwells.
• Guests left unattended or unescorted may be asked to leave the building.
• Students are responsible for the conduct of their guests.
• Students must never agree to escort a person unknown to them. This includes opening the door to allow unknown visitors to enter a hall.

• Only people assigned to a room may reside in that room. Overnight guests are permitted only with the permission of the roommate(s).
• Idaho House Bill 264, which went into affect July 1, 2025 does not permit students to have guests of the opposite gender in their shared sleeping quarters.
  • What does this mean? If you have a roommate that shares the room where you sleep, you may not have a guest of the opposite gender in that space. This is was passed by the Idaho Legislature, and signed by the Governor of Idaho into law, April 2025.
• Students are permitted ten (10) nights per semester to host overnight guests.
• Overnight guests may stay no more than two (2) consecutive nights.

• A guest that is a continual nuisance may be prohibited from entering any of the residence halls for the remainder of a semester or academic year.  
• There is no babysitting in the residence halls.
