Once you move into the residence halls, students will not be allowed to make room changes for the first two weeks. This is called a room freeze period. Students are encouraged to work things out with their roommates. After the first two weeks of each semester, if the roommates cannot reach a solution, they can request a mediation with a member of the RA staff.
RA is an abbreviation for Resident Assistant. An RA is here to tend to residents’ needs. They are highly trained in the areas of safety, campus resources, programs, promoting a welcoming environment, and implementing the policies set forth by the college. There is an RA on duty, in every hall, each night. It is the RA’s job to make the rounds throughout the evening to be sure there are no problems within the residence hall.
Each residential student must submit a $200 room/damage deposit. Any room or hall damages or fines will be deducted from the deposit. Any remaining balance will be refunded.
