How many student guests are allowed in a residence hall room at any given time?

• There is a limit on the number of people allowed in a residence hall and/or a fraternity house room. No more than one student guest per room resident can be in a room at a given time (1:1). Masks must be worn and social distancing must be observed. For example, if a room has two residents, they are each allowed one student guest each as long as everyone wears a mask and practices social distancing. Failure to follow this guideline may result in immediate removal from on campus housing.

What about my immigration status?

• F-1 students must continue to maintain status during this time.
• Email Katie Sorey (soreyko@millsaps.edu) with any questions or concerns regarding your status, travel, housing, etc.
