2024 ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT 20 each individual hall. Custodial personnel are identified in each building with staff ID cards. Other maintenance personnel and outside contractors are required to wear ID badges or uniforms that authorize them to work within the residence halls. VISITATION POLICY FOR RESIDENT STUDENTS It is the responsibility of each resident to ensure that his/her guests are aware of KU policies and therefore, resident students, as hosts, are responsible for the behavior of their non-Kutztown University visitors. All non-residents of a building must be escorted at all times by a resident host when proceeding beyond the lobby of any residence facility. Non-residents must be escorted when visiting the living quarters during prescribed hours. Typically, upperclassmen are afforded the privilege of visitation 24-hours per day, 7 days a week. The term upperclassmen, for the purpose of the residence hall visitation policy, includes second-semester freshmen with earned credits, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Freshmen who are living on campus for the first time are afforded the privilege of regular visitation/limited weekends. This policy allows first-semester freshmen to have visitors of either sex Monday-Thursday from 9:00 AM to 11:59 PM and overnight visitation on Friday and Saturday nights. Freshmen follow the upperclassmen policy at the start of their second semester. Host students may only have overnight visitors for three nights during a seven-day period. All visitors must sign in to all residence halls 24/7. To sign in, visitors must be accompanied by their host to the residence hall’s front desk and present a valid ID. Visitors arriving after 11:59 PM on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evening must be pre-registered at the front desk of the residence hall by the host. The host must inform the hall desk staff of the visitor’s name, type of visitor identification, time of arrival and length of stay. Hosts must be eighteen years of age or have on file a parental permission slip to host an overnight guest. HOUSING WHILE THE UNIVERSITY IS ON RECESS Limited housing is available for international students and in-season athletes during University recess. During this time, students may use their KU identification cards to access the building and their rooms and are required to keep outside doors locked at all times. Visitors are not permitted beyond the lobby area and must be hosted while in the lobby. A university staff member is assigned the responsibility of monitoring behavior and security. TYPES OF ON-CAMPUS HOUSING Students offered housing on-campus, generally speaking, have a choice of two different lifestyles: Double Single Gender and Coeducational Gender Inclusive housing. Coeducational housing allows men and women to live on the same floor of a residence hall but on separate wings. Gender inclusive housing has both male and female identifying students living on the same floor and possibly in the same room, suite or apartment. A high percentage of the rooms assigned to students are double rooms banked off a central corridor or designed into a suite or apartment style residence hall. The remaining rooms are singles, triples and quads. Common single gender assigned baths are located on each wing or central to a single gender floor; gender inclusive bathrooms are also available in most of the residence halls. Married and single parent housing is available on a limited basis. Please contact Housing and Residence Life at (610) 683-4027 with questions.
