4. Guest and Visitation Regulations

A. Roommate Rights: A resident’s rights to privacy, safety, sleep and study take precedent over the rights of a roommate to host a guest. Therefore, a host must have approval from their roommate to host a guest in their room.

B. Supervision of Guests: All non-resident guests (any visitor, student or non-student, who does not live in the building) must be escorted at all times by their host. Nonresidents of the building without an escort will be asked to leave the building.

Repeated violations of this regulation may result in a ban from the building.

C. Behavior of Guests: Regardless of where or when a guest is on campus, the following guidelines apply: 1. All campus policies and regulations apply to guests. 2. Guests may be asked to leave the building or may be removed from campus if they violate college policy. 3. The guest’s host is responsible for their guest and can be charged with any college policy violations a guest commits (alcohol, damages, etc.) or any violations of Residence Hall Regulations.

D. Guests in Restrooms: Each residence hall provides public restrooms for visitors.

Opposite gender visitors are to use these facilities when visiting and are to refrain from using the community’s restroom. Residents who live in suite-style rooms should discuss bathroom usage and preferences when making roommate/suitemate agreements.

E. Visitation by Adults (18 years old and older): Residents are permitted to have adult guests in their rooms 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week as long as guests are not violating cohabitation (see policy below). Visitation for each individual room can be designated as more restrictive. This is a topic all roommate pairs should discuss when establishing a roommate agreement.

F. Visitation by Minors (persons under the age of 18)

Unless they are family members or Franklin College Students, minors may only visit residents in public areas of campus buildings. The appropriate public places in the residence halls include the main lounges. They are as follows:

Hoover-Cline Hall First Floor Main Lounge Elsey Hall Lobby, Great Room & sorority suites Johnson-Dietz Hall Dietz Center Main Lobby

G. Cohabitation: Cohabitation exists when a person who is not assigned to a particular residence hall room or suite uses that room or suite as if living there. Cohabitation is not permitted in any on-campus housing at Franklin College.
