The Department of Residence Life hopes to provide a diverse student population with opportunities to participate in active learning and development both on and off campus. We wish to foster personal growth through our programming, and to meet the needs of our residents while improving their "quality of life".
The Residence Halls fall under the supervision of the Director of Residence Life, Assistant Resident Directors, and Resident Assistants. The Director of Residence Life is responsible, with the advice and guidance of the Dean of Student Life, for maintaining a healthy community atmosphere in the Residence Halls. Both residents and non-resident visitors are expected to conform to the rules and standards of conduct set forth in the Residence Hall Handbook. All residential students will be provided with a Residence Life Handbook. It is their responsibility to know and understand the policies and privileges set forth in this handbook.
Any student who drops below full-time enrollment status or who abandons their classes and does not attend regularly is subject to dismissal from the Residence Halls. Residents who are in serious or repeated violation of the residence hall policies set forth are subject to dismissal from the Residence Hall. Visiting students or guests who commit serious or repeated violations of policies may be banned from the Residence Hall and associated lounges or facilities.
The Residence Halls are closed at certain times during the academic year. The date of closure will be posted in the Residence Life Handbook and each year’s academic calendar. The College will attempt to accommodate students in good standing who must remain in the area during these breaks. Except in cases of extenuating emergency, arrangements must be made with the Director of Resident Life at least three weeks in advance to stay in the Residence Hall during breaks. An additional fee will be charged.
Student Center
The Student Center in the Spalding Center falls under the supervision of the Director of Residence Life. The Student Center is open to all students. The same standard of conduct applies to the Student Center that applies to the Residence Halls.
