Boston University Visitation Permission/Release Form

The Boston University Hillel must receive the completed Visitation Permission/Release Form at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled overnight date. This form is required for all visiting students staying overnight on the Boston University campus. If you have made your own arrangements to stay with a friend or relative, please inform Boston University Hillel.

You will not be permitted to stay overnight in campus housing without submission of the Visitation Permission form prior to your arrival.

For Students:

As a campus guest, Boston University (BU) requires that you assume the same responsibility for your actions that BU students have assumed. Please read the following statement and sign your name to indicate that you understand the statement. If you do not understand the statement or how it applies to you, please ask a member of the Admissions staff to explain it to you before you sign:

I am aware that although Boston University has agreed to host me overnight, neither the Office of Admissions nor any other office or personnel of Boston University Hillel or Boston University will be supervising me during my stay on campus. Visiting students, like enrolled students, are responsible for their behavior and are expected to behave as adults within the expectations described below.

I am aware that participants in on-campus visitation programs are required to abide by Massachusetts state law and the rules and regulations of student conduct that govern students enrolled at Boston University. I acknowledge that Massachusetts law prohibits the consumption of alcoholic beverages by persons under 21 years of age as well as all use of controlled substances.

Further, I understand that the Office of Admissions will consider any negative behavior during my campus stay when reviewing my application for admission. Any violation of the rules stated above or any damage to BU property may impact my application to Boston University.

For Parent or Guardian: A parent signature is not required for students 18 years of age or older.

I give permission for my child named on the Visitation Permission/Release Form to visit Boston University. I hereby indemnify and hold harmless Boston University, its agents and employees including board of managers, directors and officers. I release and give up all claims, including claims of negligence, I may have in the future against the Party Released that arise out of my child’s participation in this activity.

In case of emergency and if I cannot be reached, I, the undersigned parent or guardian of the belownamed child, do hereby authorize a representative of Boston University to consent to any medical treatment or care deemed advisable.
