Guests need to obtain a guest pass and do not have to be accompanied by their hosts at all times and may enter and exit their hosts’ residence halls alone. To obtain a guest pass, you and your guest must go to Public Safety (in 111 Low) together and present proper identification.

Upon entering your building, your guest must leave his or her picture ID and guest pass at the security desk. When your guest leaves your building, his or her pass and ID will be returned. For more information, please visit Guests and Visitors.
