Late Night Admittance

After 12 midnight, all residents entering the building must prove their residence by one of the following:

the IT meal card (IT ID), or
an alternate picture ID and then being looked up on the roster, or
pulling the lock out card by room number and then the resident can tell his or her PIN (personal identification number), or
last resort—call a friend to come down with the needed ID.

All guests must be signed in by a resident, and the guest must leave an ID (a picture ID that can be their own or the resident who the guest will be with).

Residents who are 21 (and have ID to prove it) can have alcohol for personal use, 6 beers or one liter bottle—no handles or larger bottles. More than that implies sharing, and most of our residents are not 21.

We are here to communicate the expected protocols and to oversee staying within these guidelines. This is to help mind the safety of our residents and not to punish anyone. We should be helpful to find ways for people to satisfy our expectations and to make sure everyone knows that there are expectations. Security is best achieved by everyone's participation in these guidelines.

Overnight Guest Policies

Any suite can have up to four guests. Above that (8 persons total) is a violation of fire code. So the limit of guests signed in is four with the requirement that they are leaving before 2 am. Only one guest can be signed in for overnight.

Based on the lease signed by all residents, each resident is limited to one overnight guest on any night. The running total is then limited to 12 overnight guests per semester. The lease defines overnight guests as anyone staying beyond 2 am (or coming in after 2 am).

There are two ways to avoid this limitation:

If your guests leave and take their IDs before 2 am, they will not be marked as overnight stays. If they do not have IDs in the first place, they will have to be marked as overnight stays since we will have no way to determine whether they have left or stayed.
One of the residents roommates can sign for guests. This shares the number of stays to keep it nelow the limit (satisfying the letter fo the law). This also proves that the extra stays are not becoming a burdon on the roommates (satisfying the spirit of the law).
