Residence Hall Staff

Who can residents turn to for help? The live-in residential staff consists of Resident Director, Assistant Resident Directors, Resident Assistants and Desk Attendants. They are committed to the ideals and missions of both the University and The Office of Residence Life & Housing. These individuals are your primary contacts if you have problems or concerns.

Community Standards

Living in the halls can be rewarding and fun, however, it can also be a major adjustment. The Residential Hall Agreement and Code of Student Conduct have been established, as fundamental guidelines for community living. These standards seek to balance individual freedoms with rights of the community, to establish communities that recognize and celebrate the dignity and self-worth of all community members, and to hold residents accountable when they choose to violate these standards. Students living in University Managed/Leased/Affiliated housing are responsible for all provisions in the Residential Hall Agreement and the Code of Student Conduct.

Special Housing Needs

The Office of Residence Life & Housing is committed to meeting the needs of students who request special accommodations to the best of its ability under the ADA guidelines.
