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 challenge. The Residence Hall Community Standards Handbook has been established, in conjunction with the Office of Judicial Affairs and Inter-Residence Council, as fundamental guidelines for group 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.

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.

If you are a student requesting a reasonable accommodation related to housing because of a diagnosed disability, please contact the Office of Student Disability Support Services (SDSS) to register with their office at 443-885-1719, email them at SDSS@morgan.edu or  their website www.morgan.edu/SDSS.

Your request will be reviewed by SDSS in consultation with Health Services, the Counseling Center, and other appropriate college offices. The goal of this review is to provide an on-campus housing accommodation that best meets your need. SDSS will then make a recommendation to the Morgan State University Office of Residence Life & Housing regarding your request for special accommodation.

You are not guaranteed housing once registered with SDSS and must complete all necessary requirements of the Office of Residence Life & Housing. For priority consideration for the fall semester, applications must be completed by June 1st. Spring semester assignments are based on space availability.

Veterans of Military Service

The Office of Residence Life & Housing is committed to serving the housing needs of our student veterans. We recognize that veterans may enjoy a more mature setting than typical first-year housing. If you are considering residence hall housing and would like to be placed together with other veterans, transfer students, or non- first-year students, please email us at reslife@morgan.edu.

Our office is committed to you as a prospective student concerned about living on campus? In our community, there is a rightful place for all.
