Regular building hours for the IU South Bend campus are listed on the IUPD website at Campus Buildings and Security. Numerous academic, cultural and social activities take place on the IU South Bend campus throughout the year, and individual building hours may vary.

University departments provide IUPD with access rosters or after-hours passes authorizing access to restricted areas. When a building is closed, only faculty, staff, and students with specific authorization are permitted inside.

During the fall and spring semesters, the Elkhart Center is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 am-8:00 pm and Friday from 7:30 am-5:00 pm or 15 minutes past the last class ending time. Summer semester building hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 am-5 pm. Office hours for center staff are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am-12:00 pm and 1:00 pm-5:00 pm. Access to student computers is available during all building open hours. When a building is closed, only faculty, staff, and students with specific authorization are permitted inside.

Special considerations for campus residence access include:

IU South Bend student housing is restricted to residents and their approved guests. Each resident has card access to the apartment buildings and a door key for their apartment and individual bedroom.

Safety, security, sleep, and study are fundamental principles of on-campus living. Visitation privileges must be respected to maintain a community conducive to learning and growth. Residents may entertain guests in their apartments with prior approval of their apartment-mate(s). A roommate may declare his or her bedroom off-limits to guests at any time.

Guests are required to comply with all IU policies, including health and safety laws, orders, ordinances, regulations, and health and safety guidance adopted by IU and the Office of Housing and Residence Life as it relates to public health or safety crises. Adherence to health and safety requirements extends to all aspects of residential life, including bedrooms, bathrooms, community kitchens, lounges, computer labs, courtyards, and other common spaces. This guidance may change as the public health crisis evolves.

Residents are expected to take responsibility for their guests’ behavior. Residents will be held responsible for any policy violations committed by their guests.

Guests are to be accompanied by a host at all times. Guests are not permitted in apartment or common spaces when a host or hostess is not present. Unescorted guests will be required to leave the premises immediately. No guest under the age of 18 is permitted in campus housing at any time unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Exceptions to this policy include guests at registered recruitment events, registered University programs, and members of the University community.

Residents are limited to two (2) overnight guests at a time. Overnight guests may visit for a period not to exceed three (3) nights total in any month. These nights may be used separately or consecutively.

Host/Hostess and overnight guest(s) must check in at River Crossing front desk no later than 12 midnight. If after 12 midnight, please contact the RA on Duty at 574-904-7718. All guests not registered must vacate student housing before 1:00 a.m. Residents may host guest(s) overnight in their apartments except during the break periods (Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring) or at the discretion of the Director of Housing and Residence or designee or the University.

To register a guest, resident and guest must present photo identification. A staff member will record the guest and resident’s information in the guest log. After being registered a guest will be provided with a Guest Parking Pass that will be valid during the approved timeframe.
