However, apartments or residence hall rooms may be entered, under specific protective guidelines, in case of emergency; for maintenance, including pest control; for safety inspections; or when it is believed that a violation of the law or a serious breach of University regulations or policies has occurred.

GUEST REGULATIONS

A person visiting a student is responsible for following the regulations of the living unit the person is visiting. The host or hostess is responsible for informing the guest of all regulations, both of that living unit and of the University and will be held responsible for the guest's behavior.

VISITATION HOURS

Residents are permitted to have guests of the opposite sex visit their rooms according to the University visitation policy.

6. Regular University judicial procedures will be employed to deal with violations of University regulations and living unit policies.

CAMPUS SECURITY

All University-affiliated residence halls participate in the campus security system.

Residence Hall Security

4. Each resident must participate in an information session at the beginning of each semester to be informed of the security system.

5. Propping exterior doors is strictly prohibited and will result in disciplinary action.

6. It is the responsibility of each resident to use the entry and security system correctly and to prevent non-residents from following behind them into the building.

Greek Houses

1. Fraternities and sororities are expected to develop and maintain their own compre-hensive security system for the safety of residents and guests.

2. Fraternities and sororities may use the University's non-duplicate key system as an alternative or combination key code kept with UAPD.

3. Fraternities and sororities may have UAPD check their houses over extended breaks and during the summer. They must contact the Greek Affairs Office for the proper forms.

Hosts in participating living units, as well as their guests who are subject to the juris-diction of the University judiciary, may be referred to the appropriate judicial board for an infraction of the rules of the security system. Violators who are not students will be referred to local authorities.

DINING HALL REGULATIONS
