Guest Policy

The right of a student to live in reasonable privacy takes precedence over the desire of his or her roommate to entertain another student in their room. In the practical application of determining when guests should be invited to the room, common sense and mutual respect should prevail.

Non-resident guests must register at the porter's desk in the presence of their host, and they must be accompanied by their host at all times while they are on campus. Guests are permitted only in the reception area and in Rinaldo's Bar. They are not allowed in other areas, including the dormitory, the computer labs, or the library. Students who wish to show visiting family members their room must first obtain permission from an SLA before bring them into the dormitory area. No guests may be on campus after 11:00 p.m.

Only individuals on official business with the Rome Center are permitted to stay on campus overnight by prior arrangement with the administration. See the list of moderately-priced lodging options to find housing for others who may wish to stay near the Rome Center.

These policies will be applied without exception, in the interests of the safety and security of the Rome Center campus. A €150 fine will be charged to any student improperly harboring a guest. The fine must be paid to the Rome Center's Business Office within 24 hours of the violation. In the event the violation occurs during the weekend, the fine must be paid in full no later than 3:30 p.m. on the following Monday.

Standard sanctions for violations of the guest policy may include a fine and/or probation.

Students with Disabilities

Loyola recognizes the dignity of each individual and respect for the human person. To the extent possible, students with special needs who attend the Rome Center are provided with the university's usual ancillary services for students with disabilities who are asked to take these steps:

  • Students must contact Loyola's Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities as early as possible and no later than four weeks before their departure for Rome.
  • All students must present documentation which describes their disability and makes recommendations for appropriate accommodations. Students from institutions other than Loyola University Chicago are also urged to provide a letter from their home institution describing the services and accommodations they have received there.
  • The coordinator of services for students with disabilities and the Rome Center will work together to provide appropriate accommodations. All inquiries should be directed to:
