Day Guests

The University respects residents' right to daytime visiting guests.  Guests must be accompanied by the resident at all times and must depart at the times indicated below, unless registered and authorised by UCD Residences as an overnight guest.

The reasoning behind these hours is twofold.

(1)        To foster respect for the study, privacy, and sleeping habits of other community members.

(2)        To provide a more safe and secure environment within the residences.

Guest times are a privilege that may be changed by UCD Residences in response to inappropriate behavior, or for operational requirements (e.g. exam periods, large events etc).
