VISITATION POLICY



(Board of Trustees Meeting, June 9, 1985)



It is a general practice at American colleges and universities

to permit visitation of members of the opposite sex in rooms in

residence halls only in cases where the residence halls have

centrally located points of entry and egress where visitors can

be monitored and registered to the satisfaction of the college

administrators who are responsible for the general welfare of

students who reside on campus.



The residence halls of the College of the Virgin Islands

do not have such centrally located points of entrance and egress

and the College cannot afford the cost required to modify the

halls accordingly. For this reason the administration and Board

of Trustees of the College agree that it would be unwise and

contrary to general practice to change the current policy on

visitation to allow members of the opposite sex to visit students

in residence halls.



Requests for exceptions to this policy should be directed to



the Office of Student Affairs.
