This handbook was created to help you to take full advantage of all residence services available to residents. There is helpful information about getting along with a roommate, personal safety tips, emergency procedures and important campus and community contacts.
Each undergraduate residence has its own identity, culture, unique services and physical makeup. Living in residence requires everyone to take extra measures to ensure safety and contribute to a harmonious, cooperative environment. The Code of Student Rights & Responsibilities, managed by the Office of Student Community Relations, was created to assist in helping facilitate a positive and respectful community. Please become familiar with the Undergraduate Residence Occupancy Agreement and the Residence Community Standards to understand the responsibilities and privileges for each member of the residence community. If you have any questions, please talk to your Don.
