- Criteria/scope/requirements/eligibility. This rule applies to any person visiting a residence hall facility but does not include authorized university personnel or registered conference guests.

- Guests may be permitted when they are escorted by authorized university personnel.
- Guests may be permitted in administrative and business spaces located within the residence halls during posted public hours.
