VISITATION AND GUEST POLICY

The right of a student to live in reasonable privacy (to be determined by Office of Residence Life) takes precedence over the right of her/his roommate to entertain guests. Visitation hours in the Residence Halls are between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. on weeknights and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. on weekends, with the exception of the University Apartments which allow visitation from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. at all times. All guests must provide picture ID before entry into the residence hall and must be announced by Security and escorted by resident to room.

Overnight guests need advance and explicit consent from all other roommates in the room and written approval from the Director of Residence Life or designee at least 24 hours in advance. These guests may not remain in the room for more than two consecutive nights and only in accordance with set visitation policies (i.e. following all the Residence Hall rules that are followed by regular students). Residents are directly responsible for the actions of their guests and face disciplinary sanctions, as well as financial responsibility for the improper behavior of their guests when it results in property damage and/or other violations.

*OVERNIGHT PASSES CAN BE PICKED UP FROM YOUR BUILDING STAFF.

Any violation of the policy will result in the immediate removal of the visitor from the premises. The University reserves the right to deny access to any guest if it has been determined that such a person has disturbed, endangered or disrupted any resident or the contents of the building. Violators may be placed on a “banned list” prohibiting them from entering any or all of the halls. The following are not permitted:

• Children under the age of 12.
• Passing keys and cards from one resident to another person.
• More than two guests per resident (maximum of 4 guests per room).
• Leaving guest unattended.

NJCU Resident Students’ Visitation Policy

At all times, NJCU resident students must show validated NJCU University photo-identification (ID) cards to campus security to gain entry into their assigned residence halls. A resident visiting another residence hall must also provide his/her identification (ID) card, sign in properly, and obey visitation policies and procedures . Gaining Access to visit one resident does not authorize a student to visit another resident or to roam the resident halls without resident host. The Resident host assumes full responsibility for guest. There may be no more than two guests per resident at any given time. You are considered a “guest” when you are visiting a residence hall in which you do not resident.

Non-Resident Guest

A non-resident, non-NJCU student or guest may gain access to the residence halls during visiting hours, according to the following times:

All guests must:

Please note that gaining entry to visit one resident does not grant visitors the right to visit another resident or to roam the resident halls. IDs that are left or confiscated by Residence Life staff are held in the Residence Life Office and can only be retrieved by the owner of said ID. * Consistently, failing to collect ID may impact your visitation privilege.
