Each resident is issued a voice mail account. No more listening to your roommate's messages and writing them down. No more missed calls. Don't bring an answering machine. All guests must be accompanied by their host at all times.
Hosts are responsible for the behavior of their guests.
While the residence hall perimeter doors are locked at 8 p.m. and the main entrance door at midnight, each hall office is staffed 24 hours a day. Students are free to come and go from their residence hall when they choose. Student security assistants help with entrance into the halls after they are locked and provide information and services to residents. Winthrop University also has police officers commissioned by the state of South Carolina who patrol the campus 24 hours a day. One of the most anticipated events college students face is meeting their roommate.
