Starting September 2024 students can request to have a maximum of 2 guests overnight at a time. All requests need to be submitted online through the student web portal at least 24 hours in advance.
Submit your guest request at least 24 hours before your guest arrives. Same day requests will be approved based on availability so request early so not to be disappointed.
In order to make a request you will need to do so through your residence application portal.
• Go to my.brocku.ca. (It is essential that your browser is set to enable pop-ups/cookies).
• Login using your Brock username and password.

You will need to monitor your Brock email. You will receive a digital copy of your submission that you will need for check-in.
You must come to your Service Desk upon the guest arrival and the desk will need to see your submission and your guest’s government issued ID.
If your guest is denied you will be notified by email.
Print the Residence Guest Sign-In Agreement. When your guest arrives, please bring your guest and the agreement to your Service Desk so they can verify guest ID and provide a wristband authorizing your guest to be in residence.
Keep a copy of the agreement with you for verification purposes if requested by Brock staff.
