These individuals are experienced students who are there to aid and assist you and the other students. The Resident Directors (RD’s) are professionally trained staff members of the University. In addition, there are Security Personnel on duty all night and Office Clerks all day.

Am I permitted to have an overnight guest in my room?
Yes. During the week you may have an overnight guest of the same gender in your room, but for no more than two (2) consecutive nights. At Pioneer Village you may have a guest stay any night during the week as long as they are a resident in one of our residential living facilities. During the week at Pickens Hall you may have a guest of any gender stay in a guest room in the residence hall. You may have an overnight guest of any gender in your room on Friday and Saturday nights, however they must be checked in before 12:00 midnight. It is your responsibility to sign all guests in at the Residence Hall Office. Your guest may purchase meals in the Heflin Student Union or you may use your flex dollars to purchase a meal for them.
