Scope: Undergraduate Students are covered by this policy.
Historically, ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú has been a residential university, and its residential character is a major and
distinctive feature. The residence life staff provide special programs and services that promote student
development and learning. Residence hall programs and initiatives promote adjustment to campus life,
support academic achievement, foster personal growth, learning, socialization, and self-responsibility.
Because the residential experience contributes significantly to the educational mission of the University,
ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú requires second-year students to continue to live on campus with some exceptions. The
University offers housing to upper class students to the extent permitted by space and facility
limitations.
The residence halls and Heritage Commons Apartments are operated and maintained as student
accommodations under policies and charges established by the University Board of Trustees. The
University may exercise its parietal privilege of requiring any undergraduate student to live in University
residences. The organization and administration of residence life is the responsibility of the Office of
Residence Life. All students residing on campus are subject to the authority of the Director of
Residence Life and the staff of the Director. The central staff, professional staff and student staff are all
members of the staff of the Director of Residence Life. The central staff includes Associate Directors
and Assistant Directors. The professional staff includes Resident Directors, Community Managers, and
Graduate Assistants. The student staff includes Student Learning Community Coordinators and
Resident Assistants. Please refer to Regulations for On-Campus Living for specific information about
residence halls and Heritage Commons Apartment regulations.
