Policy on Dependents and Visitors on Campus
Dependents, defined as a qualifying child or relative for whom an individual has responsibility for care over and Visitors, defined as any individual brought to campus by a student that is not affiliated with the University are allowed on campus for short periods of time while accompanying adults conduct University business. Dependents/Visitors must remain supervised to prevent disruption to University operations, programs and activities, as well as for the safety of the dependent/visitor. Dependents/Visitors are not allowed in classrooms or other spaces while classes, lectures or other academic events are in session (e.g. - library, computer labs, study rooms, etc.). Use of University facilities, equipment and resources by dependents/visitors is also not permitted.
The University does not permit students to bring dependents/visitors onto the property who will not be supervised during work or class hours, due to the liability caused for the institution.
Failure to comply with the visitor policy will result in removal from campus and/or disciplinary action for violation of university policy.
On the Chicago campus, any visitor that is over the age of 18 must check in at the front desk and verify their identity by showing a state-issued photo ID and signing into the campus guest log before receiving a visitor’s pass. Visitors under 18 who do not have a state-issued photo ID are not required to show an ID but must still check in with the front desk and sign into the campus visitor log to receive their visitor’s pass.
