workshops which will be available during the first 2 weeks of the academic semester. Workshop times and
locations will be posted by the Student Life staff and sent via college email. Until all three workshops are
complete, first-year Students will not have the privilege of hosting guests. Students who transfer to Fisher College
from another institution will obtain the guest privileges associated with the class year in which they are entering.
Overnight guests are allowed 3 nights within a seven-day period (the week runs Monday-Sunday), A resident may
only have two overnight guests at a time. A guest is allowed a maximum of three nights per week on campus.
Therefore, if a guest signs in under resident A for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday they have reached their
maximum stay for that week. They cannot sign in overnight on campus again until the following Monday even with
a different host. Overnight guests may also stay only three consecutive nights. Therefore, if they stay as an
overnight guest on Friday, Saturday and Sunday they cannot stay again on Monday even though it begins a new
week. The guest would not be eligible to sign in again until Tuesday. Additional nights may be approved by the
Director of Housing and Residential Life.
There is a limit to the number of guests allowed in any room at any one time. A maximum of 3 guests are allowed
for a single room, and a maximum of 4 guests total in a double, triple or quad room.
Forms must be signed by the Resident Director by 11:00 pm and turned in to Public Safety the day of the guest’s
arrival. Overnight forms submitted after 11:00 pm will not be approved. Overnight guest sheets are available at the
Public Safety Desk or in the Housing Office. Any form filled out incompletely will be denied. All guests must leave
proper photo ID (driver’s license, military ID, passport, state ID or Government I.D) with Public Safety. Non Fisher
College ID’s are not accepted.
All overnight guests must be at least 16 years of age. Immediate family (sibling) may be permitted with the
advance permission of the Director of Housing and Residential Life. Requests for immediate family members to be
an overnight guest must be emailed to the Director of Housing and Residential Life, at housing@fisher.edu, by 4pm
the day prior to the arrival of the family member, or if the date of arrival falls on a Sunday or Monday by 4pm on
the Friday prior.
All guests must comply with the rules and regulations outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.
Failure by resident or guest to comply with these guidelines or abuse of the system can result in the loss of guest
privileges for the resident and/or all residents in their residence hall. Guests may also be banned from visiting the
college if they fail to comply with the rules. Residential Life staff can also ask a guest to leave the premises for noncompliance
with policies or inappropriate behavior and void any prior permission given regarding visitation.
Please note that absolutely no overnight guests will be allowed during the first 2 weeks of each academic semester
and during final exam periods.
Public Safety and Housing staff reserves the right to deny access to any guest who exhibits inappropriate behavior,
refuses to abide by current guest policies, or is deemed a danger to himself/herself or others.
