==== Guest and visitor policies ====
Prior to September 2007, Boston University had a restrictive visitor policy, which limited the ability of students from different dormitories to visit each other at night. This changed when a new policy approved by Brown took effect.<ref>[http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news-cms/news/?dept=4&id=44920&template=4 "President Approves New Guest Policy"], ''BU Today'' May 7, 2007 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071213114351/http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news-cms/news/?dept=4&id=44920&template=4 |date=December 13, 2007}}</ref> The new policy allows for students living on campus to swipe into any on-campus dormitory between the hours of 7&nbsp;am and 2&nbsp;am using their Terrier cards. Student residents can also sign in guests with photo identification at any time, day or night. Overnight visitors of the opposite sex are no longer required to seek a same-sex "co-host".<ref>[http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news-cms/news/?dept=4&id=43755&template=4&from_email=true "New Guest Policy Means More Power, More Responsibility"], ''BU Today'' March 2, 2007 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014223108/http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news-cms/news/?dept=4&id=43755&template=4&from_email=true |date=October 14, 2007}}</ref> However, during reading period and the week before final exams,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Residential Policies » Dean of Students {{!}} Boston University |url=https://www.bu.edu/dos/policies/lifebook/residential/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190530170436/https://www.bu.edu/dos/policies/lifebook/residential/ |archive-date=May 30, 2019 |access-date=May 30, 2019 |website=www.bu.edu}}</ref> no guests are permitted in the halls overnight, and are expected to be out of the hall by 2&nbsp;am.<ref>[http://www.bu.edu/dos/documents/GuestPolicy22807.pdf BU Guest Policy] from bu.edu {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090325150728/http://www.bu.edu/dos/documents/GuestPolicy22807.pdf |date=March 25, 2009}}</ref>
