Code of Conduct and Liability Form

    Policy for Overnight Visitors to Kenyon College

    Welcome to Kenyon! Campus visits are a great opportunity for you to learn more about the College, so we hope you will enjoy your time as you explore academic, social, and residential life at Kenyon. We are pleased that you have decided to participate in this program and we hope that you enjoy your stay.

    Code of Conduct

    As a guest of Kenyon College, you are required to abide by the same rules and regulations that govern the conduct of current Kenyon students. Any negative or illegal behavior on your part during your campus visit will be considered by the admissions office in any evaluation of your application for admission to the College. Kenyon Admissions will also report any violations to your secondary school.

    After you and your parent/guardian have read the statements below, please acknowledge and agree and have your parent/guardian acknowledge and agree where indicated.


    • * I am aware that although Kenyon College has agreed to host me overnight, neither the Office of Admissions nor any other office or personnel of Kenyon College will be supervising me at all times during my stay on campus. Visiting students, like enrolled students, are responsible for their behavior.
    • * I am aware that participants in on-campus visitation programs are required to abide by Ohio state law and the rules and regulations of student conduct that govern students enrolled at Kenyon College. Violations of state law and campus regulations will be handled by the appropriate governing authorities.
    • * I acknowledge that Ohio law prohibits the drinking of alcoholic beverages by persons under 21 years of age as well as use of controlled substances by persons of any age. As stated above, violations of this and any Ohio state law will be handled by the appropriate authorities.

    • * I acknowledge that Kenyon Admissions staff have designated an overnight host for me and will share my contact information with them. If I decide not to stay with my designated host and/or in the room that I was assigned to, then I must contact Campus Safety, the host, and the Admissions Office to notify them of my alternate accommodations and the reason for the change. I understand that this is for my own personal safety and security.
