9. Improper Hosting of Guests and Visitors

a. Student hosts are responsible for the actions of their guests and visitors, and are subject to disciplinary action if their guests or visitors violate Kenyon policies and/or procedures.

b. All overnight guest and visitor stays are contingent on the approval of all residents assigned to the living space. Each overnight guest or visitor may not stay for more than three (3) nights per month. 

Outside Services in Residence Halls

We want our residence halls to be safe, welcoming, and comfortable spaces for everyone. To help us maintain a secure environment and protect the privacy of our residential community, students may not arrange for outside contractors or service providers to perform work in College residence halls or student rooms.

This includes services such as private cleaning or laundry services, repair or maintenance providers, movers, and other individuals or companies hired to perform work.

If you need help with cleaning, maintenance, repairs, or other residence-hall needs, please reach out to the Office of Residential Life, contact Maintenance, or submit a work order through the College’s work order system. We would be happy to help connect you with the appropriate College resources.  

For the safety of our community, students should not provide keys, access cards or other building access to outside service providers. Any exceptions must be approved in advance by Residence Life.  

Thank you for helping us keep our residence halls safe, secure and welcoming for all students.
