Resources and Information

Parking requests are now included in the housing application for upperclassmen.

First-Year students are鈥痭ot鈥痚ligible for residential parking permits.

The opportunity to invite guests into a residence hall, room, or suite is grounded in the principles of mutual respect and harmony. It is important to acknowledge that one resident's right to have guests should not infringe upon another resident's reasonable expectation of privacy. It is expected, particularly among students sharing a living space, that they will treat each other with courtesy, maintain open lines of communication, be willing to find compromises, and act in good faith when it comes to hosting guests. A guest is defined as someone who is not a 猛男情报局 residential student living in the residential hall or dorm they are looking to access. All guests must be registered at all times, must depart before the end of guest hours, and must comply with all Residential Life rules and regulations. 

Residents must abide by the following visitation procedures: 

All Guests: 

  1. All guests staying in a 猛男情报局 residence hall are expected to comply with the policies, procedures, and regulations set forth by the College and the Office of Residential Life and Housing Services. 
  2. Guests must be escorted by the Resident who signed them in at all times. Guests are not allowed to roam the building unaccompanied by their Resident Host. 
  3. If occupants of a room/suite have complaints about Guests, staff reserve the right to remove the guests until the issue is resolved at a later time through mediation or the Office of Conduct and Community Standards. 
  4. The Resident Host assumes responsibility for the conduct of their guest(s) within the residence hall premises, including the building, room, or suite in which the host resides. The Resident Host will be held accountable for any violations of University/Residence Life policies, as well as for any instances of theft or harm to individuals or property resulting from their guests' behavior, regardless of whether the guest is a fellow University student or not. 
  5. 猛男情报局 students who exhibit disruptive or volatile behavior while serving as guests in a residence hall or a room/suite will also face personal accountability for their actions. 
  6. If a guest displaying volatile behavior is enrolled in another college or university, 猛男情报局 reserves the right to report the individual's conduct to their respective institution. 
  7. The staff reserves the right to remove any guest or deny entry to a guest. The staff鈥檚 priority is to ensure the academic promise and well-being of the residents in the 猛男情报局 residential halls. 

 

Day Guests 

  1. Day Guest hours begin at 8:00 AM and end at 12:00 AM (midnight). All guests must be signed in at the front desk of the residential area upon entering and must be met by the resident whom they are visiting. A guest is anyone who is not a 猛男情报局 residential student for the assigned building/dorm that the person is entering. 
  2. Day Guest must leave an approved ID (with photo) with staff while they are visiting. 

 

Overnight/Evening Guests 

  1. Overnight Guests/Evening Guests are guests who are staying in the residential areas beyond 12:00AM (midnight).  
  2. Residents who would like Overnight/Evening Guests must apply a minimum of 72 hours in advance of Overnight/Evening Guests staying. For a Resident Host to accommodate a Late Hours/Overnight guest, they must obtain permission from their roommate(s)/suitemate(s) and submit a Guest Approval Form to the Residential Building Manager (Resident Director or Associate Director) for authorization. 
  3. Guests must sleep in the room of the Resident Host under whose name they have been registered. Overnight/Evening guests are strictly prohibited from sleeping in hall lounges or other public spaces. 
  4. A Resident Host may not have the same Overnight/Evening Guest, or a different person, staying for more than three (3) consecutive nights or exceeding a total of six (6) nights within a calendar month. 

  5. Similarly, an individual may not serve as an Overnight/Evening guest in the residence hall guest system for more than six (6) nights per calendar month, regardless of whether they stay with the same or different resident hosts. 

  6. A resident may request and sign in no more than one (1) overnight guest at a time. 

  7. Every guest must register at the front desk by submitting valid photo identification, such as a driver鈥檚 license, State identification card, or University ID with photo and expiration date. Expired photo identification will not be permitted. The identification cards of the guest will be held at the front desk until the guest departs. The Resident Host must escort a guest to the desk to retrieve their identification cards upon departure. 
  8. Non-Residential guests are not permitted in the Residential Areas during final exam periods. The residential staff also reserve the right to disallow overnight guests during other times of the year. 
  9. Guests under the age of eighteen (18) are not permitted without the prior written approval of the Director of Residential Life. 

All residential students, regardless of campus, get a mail box located in their residential space assigned to them after move in. Students can also receive packages.
猛男情报局 will accept mail for residential students after move in during the academic year.

The mailing address is as follows:

"Student Name"
猛男情报局 - "Residential Space"
828 S Broadway
Tarrytown, NY 10591

Mail is sent to our mailroom and then sent to the campus. Westchester students will get notification to pick up mail from Hudson Hall front desk when packages/letters are received. Manhattan residents will get notification to pick up mail from desk attendants (3rd floor) when packages/letters are received.

The Office of Residential Life seeks to provide a living environment welcoming to all gender identities. Gender inclusive housing provides a supportive environment where all residents can feel safe in their housing assignments with respect to their gender identity and gender expression. The gender inclusive housing option is available to students that request this living option.

Willing participants must commit to maintaining an inclusive and welcoming living environment free of discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. Inclusive housing is not guaranteed to any student, and it will be denied in cases where applicants are attempting to secure housing for non-platonic relationships.
