RESIDENCE LIFE: LIVING AND LEARNING AT SU The Residence Life Office provides a wide array of social, educational, cultural, and leadership opportunities within the halls. The residence staff assesses residents' needs and invites speakers, coordinates trips to local sites, and organizes regular social activities. The Residence Hall Council elects representatives from each hall to serve as a governing council for the hall. Dues are collected during orientation in the fall. They provide activities, determine how public area space is used, and make recommendations regarding policies and procedures. WHO IS THE RESIDENCE LIFE STAFF? Each residence hall has a live-in Resident Director (RD). The RD is a part-time professional that is trained to help make your residence hall experience a rewarding one. Each RD supervises a staff of Resident Assistants (RA). RAs are responsible for coordinating activities and programs in the hall; serving a resource person, counselor, administrator and friend; and acting as a disciplinarian agent when necessarry. The University believes that it is important for the students to have ready access to persons who can assist students in the variety of day-to-day concerns and problems of residence hall life. In general, RAs are to aid students in problem-solving by being familiar with the various University programs, regulations, social and academic programs, and procedures. RAs have the responsibility to assist students in participating in intramurals, to convey information about the University activities, to maintain a satisfactory living/learning environment in the residence hall, to prevent property damage, and to ascertain responsibility for damage when it occurs in the hall. Television, VCR's, stereos, CD players, microwaves, and refrigerators, are all fine to bring with you to campus. You should check with your roommate first so that you will not have two of everything. Your room is equipped with cable service. You will need a cable-ready TV or you will need to obtain a converter from the Business Office. All the residence hall rooms are carpeted. Hot plates Fish are the only pets that we permit. Life on campus is just not compatible with pet ownership. Many of your fellow students are allergic to animals, and even the most well cared for animals carry parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites. Pillows Lofts are permitted. Lofts must be free-standing and treated with fire resistant materials. It is best to build it to accommodate our bed frame(s) because all furniture must remain in the room. Residence halls exterior doors are locked between 5:00 pm and 6:00 am. During these times, you must use your Allcard ID card to enter. A security phone is located at the entrance of each hall for your convenience. Security staff is on duty 24 hours per day. They can be contacted by cellular phone at any time of the day or night. The best way to keep you and your possessions safe on campus is to keep your room door locked at all times. We recommend that you also not walk alone after dark and never prop exterior doors. Remember: safety and security is everyone's responsibility.
