The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 61. The Reception Of Visiting Monks

(5) If after a while he wishes to remain and bind himself to stability, he should not be refused this wish, especially as there was time enough, while he was a guest, to judge his character.
(6) But if during his stay he has been found excessive in his demands or full of faults, he should certainly not be admitted as a member of the community.
(7) Instead, he should be politely told to depart, lest his wretched ways contaminate others.

(8) If, however, he has shown that he is not the kind of man who deserves to be dismissed, let him, on his request, be receive as a member of the community.
(9) He should even be urged to stay, so that others may learn from his example,
(10) because wherever we may be, we are in the service of the same Lord and doing battle for the same King.
(11) Further, the abbot may set such a man in a somewhat higher place in the community, if he sees that he deserves it.
(12) In fact, whether it is a monk or someone in the priestly or clerical orders mentioned above, the abbot has the power to set any of them above the place that corresponds to the date of his entry, if he sees that his life warrants it.

(13) The abbot must, however, take care never to receive into the community a monk from another known monastery, unless the monk's abbot consents and sends a letter of recommendation,
(14) sicne it is written, "Never do to another what you do not want done to yourself," (Tob 4:16).
