When you are in-house you will be able to submit guest requests on your residence student housing application portal.  This is accessible from your my.brocku.ca portal.  Click on Apply to Residences.  You will see it in the lower right-hand corner under “in-house requests”.

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.

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.
