Residence Life Programming and Student Support
Our Housing and Residence Life team, including the Resident Assistants (RAs), Housing Coordinator, Housing Specialist, and the Director, works collaboratively to foster a vibrant, inclusive residential community. Together, we design and deliver programming focused on wellness, academic support, cultural celebration, civic engagement and community connection.
Beyond residential programming, our staff actively manage relationships with external housing providers to ensure that students have access to safe, affordable housing options. We assist with securing alternatives to housing when university-housing is at capacity and offer documentation support such as proof of residency and rental history upon request.
Our mission is not only to support students during their academic journey, but also to prepare them for life beyond graduation. We aim to equip each Firebird with practical life skills and the confidence to navigate independent living. While our housing program may not mirror traditional models, it is uniquely designed to evolve and respond to the diverse needs of our student population. The possibilities to shape meaningful living spaces for every Firebird are limitless—even within the program’s constraints.
Expectations and Policies
All residents are expected to uphold the University's Student Code of Conduct and adhere to Housing and Residence Life policies as outlined in the Housing License Agreement. Policies address community standards, health and safety guidelines, conflict resolution and guest registration.
