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