Merrimack Overnight Guest Registration

OVERNIGHT GUESTS 

• Residential students may also register guests to visit in the residential area and for an overnight stay (including commuter students). Students who would like to register an overnight guest must have consent from their roommate(s) and fill out the Overnight Guest Registration Form (located on the Office of Residence Life webpage) 72 hours in advance of the visit. 

• Parents & Guardians, or guests that are over the age of 30 should not be registered as overnight guests. Requests that are received for those fitting this description will not be approved.

• Guests are subject to all Merrimack College policies, Community Standards, and Residence Life policies

• Hosts are responsible for the behavior of their guests and may be held accountable for any policy violations

• Guests who are not accompanied by a host or who do not adhere to Merrimack College policies, Community Standards, and Residence Life policies may be asked to leave immediately and/or may be removed and trespassed from campus

• Students are not permitted to host more than two guests at the same time with the exception of weekends designated by the College, during which the number may be restricted further

• Guests are not permitted during break periods, reading days, or final examination periods
