Visitation Policy

Operation of the Visitation Policy includes the following:

• Each resident student may host up to three visitors at one time.
• Visitors must sign into the building 24/7.
• Resident students, as hosts, are responsible for the behavior of their Non-Kutztown University visitors. Kutztown University students are accountable for their own conduct at all times.
• All visitors (and resident students) must enter and exit the building by way of the main entrance.
• The host must escort visitors at all times while in the hall.
• Host students may only have overnight visitors (when permitted) for three overnights per week. The week begins on Monday at 9:00am and ends at 8:59am the next Monday. An overnight is when a visitor is signed in at any time between 12am and 9:00am.
• Visitors arriving after 11:59p.m. on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evening must be pre-registered at the desk by the host informing the hall desk of visitor’s name, type of visitor identification, time of arrival, and length of stay.
• Residents are responsible for informing visitors that presentation of a valid ID is required at the time of sign-in. Failure to provide ID could result in denial of entrance into the residence hall.

Anyone who is not a KU student must complete the New Visitor Registration form prior to coming to campus. The form can be found at the link below:

In order to complete the form, the visitor must agree to the Kutztown University Visitation Policy which will be displayed after submitting the form. A verification code and link will then be sent to the e-mail address that was provided by the visitor in the form. The visitor should copy the verification code and paste it in the box that appears after clicking the link. The visitor will then be a registered visitor, and a visitor pass can be created for them. Once this process is complete, the visitor will not have to complete it again for future trips to campus. *Current KU students do not have to complete this form.

Visitors arriving after 11:59 PM on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evening must have a visitor pass created for them before that time.

Visitors must be accompanied by their host when moving about in the residence hall they are visiting.

Any first-time resident student with 30 or less earned credits.

Students who are not of the age of majority must provide parental or legal guardian's approval for visitation rights covered in this policy. This form is no longer needed once a student turns 18.

The process by which any student who has a visitor or visitors arriving after 11:59 PM on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evening notifies the hall desk of the anticipated arrival of a guest. The information needed to pre-register includes visitor's name, type of ID, anticipated time of arrival, and anticipated length of stay.

The process by which host and visitor(s) are recognized as participating in visitation. Resident students, as hosts, are responsible for registering visitors at the hall desk during prescribed hours. Host and visitor report to the hall desk where the host presents their information and the visitor's ID. A digital visitation pass is created by the Desk Receptionist that can only be accessed at the front desk of any hall while they remain in the building in which they sign in. All visitors must check out at the front desk in which they signed into upon leaving.

A visitor is anyone who does not live in the room. A visitor to a room can be someone who lives in the hall but not in the room they are visiting.
