Yes. Parents and family members may visit, subject to residence-hall access, host responsibility, roommate consent, and guest rules.
Can parents and other family members visit the residence hall?
Emory’s residential policies allow visitation in residential areas and require residents to respect roommates and community security. A resident host is responsible for guests and should coordinate visits with roommates. Visitors do not receive independent residence-hall access rights.
What are quiet hours?
Emory’s published residential policies establish overnight quiet hours and a continuing courtesy standard. Finals and other designated periods can carry extended quiet-hour expectations, so residents should follow current hall notices in addition to the baseline schedule.
Can overnight guests stay in my student's room?
Emory’s residential policy permits visitation while requiring the host to respect roommate rights and community rules. It defines long-term guests as stays of three nights or longer and prohibits that arrangement, so an overnight guest may stay only within the short-visit rule.
Is alcohol allowed in Emory residence halls?
Emory’s residential policies prohibit alcohol possession or consumption by students under 21. Residents who are 21 or older may possess or consume alcohol in their assigned room or apartment under the policy, while use in common/community areas is restricted unless specifically authorized.
Are pets allowed in residence halls?
Emory residential policy generally prohibits pets but permits fish with roommate consent in a tank no larger than two gallons. Service animals and approved assistance/emotional-support animals are handled through disability-access procedures and are not treated as ordinary pets.
