Visitation & Overnight Guests
Visitation:
The Housing Office at USCB recognizes residents’ rights to have and host friends and family within the community. With that right, comes the responsibility to adhere to the guidelines established in order to ensure the rights and safety of other residents within the community. Residential students are responsible for their guests and guests must be accompanied by the student host at all times. Guests and hosts alike are responsible for knowing and abiding by all regulations and either or both may be subject to disciplinary action for violations.
Visitation hours are as follows:
Sunday through Wednesday is 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 a.m. (Midnight)
Thursday through Saturday is 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 a.m.
Overnight Guest:

All overnight guests must be registered in advance with the Office of Housing and Student Conduct. Please note that no overnight guests under the age of 14 are allowed.
- Residential students are only allowed 1 overnight guests per person and no more than 4 total overnight guests in an apartment at any time.
- Maximum occupancy for each apartment at ALL times is TEN (10) people.
- Residents may be permitted to have an overnight guest for a maximum of two consecutive nights in a 14 day period.
- Overnight guest forms must be submitted to the Housing office 24 hours before guest arrival in order to be approved.This policy is designed for the safety of residents, guests, and other members of the University community.
