CHECK-IN HOURS
Check-in hours are not as restrictive as some students living in the residence halls may think. Although check-in hours may be a little inconvenient to some, it is needed for the security of the students. It is better for a student to take maybe one minute to check themselves in then to have a random person come in and not check-in, and take one minute to take things from someone, and or harm someone. There are already crimes going on around campus with the check-in policy imagine if there was no check-in policy and people could just freely come in and out of your residence hall. Some may say having to check your guest in is an inconvenience but something may happen with someone’s guest and no one would be able to know who the guest was without them signing-in. Even though the doors to the floors in the residence halls are locked and only opened by a residents swiping in, there is always someone either going in or coming out of the doors which makes it simple for someone to just walk in with them.
Furthermore when the people at the front desk notice you as a familiar face they just let you go past them without you having to check in because they know that you live there, thus removing the inconvenience of having to check-in. At Harrison hall they even give the residents stickers to put on the back of their ID’s, so that they can check in by just showing the sticker.
Checking-in is for the resident’s safety and is way easier to deal with then the crimes that come along with letting anyone freely walk in and out of the resident’s hall.
