[civsa] Policies on Overnight Visits with Minors

[Dustin Castro]

Hi Merideth,

This is a very involved process at Michigan. We're allowed to do overnight
visits, but there are a series of forms that parents must sign for Risk
Management, prospies must sign for Michigan Housing, and the students who
are hosting the prospies must undergo a background check. Instead of
writing a wall of text, I will simply link you to our Children on Campus
<http://childrenoncampus.umich.edu/> page. If you have any questions,
please feel free to call.

Dustin
