Q. What is the visitation policy?	A. At The Catholic University of America, there are guidelines for hosting visitors and guests in residence hall rooms. Visitation hours are Sunday through Thursday: 9 a.m.-midnight Friday through Saturday: 9 a.m.- 2 a.m. Visitors must be hosted by a current resident of the residence hall. Visitors must be escorted from the host's residence hall when visitation hours end. For additional information about the university visitation policy, please visit: http://policies.cua.edu/studentlife/residence/residencehallguests.cfm
Q. What are quiet hours?	A. In order to create an environment where a student's right to sleep and study is given priority, general courtesy should be excersied at all times so noise does not interfere with the rights of others. Quiet hours in the residence halls are in effect between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. on the night preceding class days and between the hours of midnight and 9 a.m. on other nights. During periods of quiet hours, noise should not be heard outside a resident's room in any direction. In the common areas of buildings, there should be no activity that could create general disturbance.
