Residents are also responsible to be aware of any changes made to policy throughout the year. Notifications of changes to the NSU Student Handbook or the NSU Residential Living Guide will be provided with reasonable notice via NSU email or campus communications. The most updated copy of these documents can be found on the NSU website. Visitation and Overnight Guests Policies In order to ensure adequate security in the residence halls, all residents that are bringing a non-residential NSU student or non-NSUaffiliated person into the residence halls must complete the Guest Registration Form. Guests may visit residents’ rooms only by invitation and being properly registered. All roommates/ suitemates must be aware and have approved of any guests in their spaces. Residents shall, at all times, be responsible for the conduct and actions of guests. Guests must be accompanied by the resident at all times. A resident may have no more than three (3) guests signed in at one time. All guests must promptly exit the residence halls at the end of their registration time. The residence hall staff and NSU Public Safety have the right to ask a guest to leave at any time. A resident who allows a guest to visit who has been “banned” from visiting in the residence halls or surrounding grounds may be subject to conduct action. No guest(s) may be in possession of resident keys/cards at any time, for any reason. Any guest found using a resident’s key or card will result in a conduct meeting between Residence Life staff and involved parties. University staff has the right to request a resident’s NSU SharkCard from any unauthorized possessor. The Residence Life staff is authorized to impose an administrative charge upon the assigned resident(s) of a residence of $25 per night for each overnight guest or sponsors who are in violation of the visitation and overnight guest policy. An overnight guest is considered to be a visitor utilizing the room of a resident student as a place of lodging. Residents may have a guest stay overnight for a maximum period not to exceed three consecutive days (72 hours) per month with the permission of the resident’s roommate/s. Residents are not permitted to have overnight guests during vacation periods when classes are not in session for more than the aforementioned three-day period. The number of overnight guests permitted should not exceed the number of University beds in a room or an apartment.
