Guest Housing
Any person who does not reside on a specific floor, whether they are an EMU student or not, is considered a guest and must be invited and accompanied by a resident of the floor they are on. No one who is not a registered guest or member of a specific hall community may be present in a hall without their host being present on the floor as well. Adult guests may stay overnight in the residence hall when space is available. All guests need to register with the appropriate community advisor and/or residence director. Registration is applicable for up to three nights of free lodging. A $15 per night fee is charged to guests staying more than three nights. A guest may stay a maximum of one week after permission is granted. The same visitor may only stay 3 nights (or up to a maximum of one week by permission from residence director) per semester. Guests will abide by the same residence hall regulations as residents. A guest failing to comply with regulations and/or otherwise disrupting the life of the residence hall community will be asked to leave.
Inappropriate Material
The standards of conduct should be followed in the choice of various art and media forms, including choice of music, videos, and posters hung in rooms. No items pertaining to alcoholic beverages or which are sexually provocative or degrading should be displayed in the residence halls, including cans, bottles or posters. A student may be asked to remove items which do not follow community standards.

Students are not permitted to have pets in the residence hall. The only exception is harmless fish. For further information and university policy on emotional support animals, please see EMU Emotional Support Animal Policy and Procedure.
Quiet Hours
The residence halls are used for studying, sleeping and socializing. A balance of these activities must be maintained so that the needs of individuals on the hall can be met. All residents are expected to refrain from causing any noise or disruption that would infringe on the needs of fellow students to study or sleep during the hours from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. both inside and outside the building areas. Courtesy hours are in effect throughout the day. Students are asked to be responsive to the needs of others.
