Residents should be considerate of roommates when inviting guests to their residence hall room, and especially when hosting guests overnight. Hosts must abide by conditions for guests and overnight guests that the roommates agree upon and indicate on the roommate agreement form.A resident student may sign in no more than two (2) guests at one time; however, the University reserves the right to limit the number of guests at any time without notice depending on factors and circumstances.

A resident may not have an overnight residential guest for more than three (3) nights in any seven-day period. A resident may not host overnight residential guests for more than five (5) nights per calendar month.

Residential guests may not stay overnight in Suffolk University housing areas for more than five (5) nights per calendar month, whether with the same host or different hosts. Exceptions to these procedures must be approved by the residence director of the building where the resident resides at least 24 hours in advance. The University reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to limit the number of overnight guests.

No residential guest may stay overnight in the public areas of any of the residence halls.

A resident who wishes to host a guest between the ages of 16-18, must complete and submit the appropriate form located on the Residence Life & Housing website at least three (3) business days in advance of the visit.

This form is not necessary if the guest is a Suffolk University student under the age of 18. Individuals under the age of 16 visiting the residence halls must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Any exception to this policy is made by the Director of Residence Life & Housing, or designee.
