RA stands for Resident Assistant. An RA is a student that lives in a university residential facility and acts as a resource for the students on their floor or in their area of the building. RAs play a key role in creating an environment for students that is conducive to academic, personal and social growth.
Each year the residence hall staffs provide their residents with over 300 academic and social programs which include anything from pizza parties, concerts, and dances to self-defense classes, alcohol and drug awareness sessions and chemistry tutoring. Your $25.00 (each term) activity fee helps to fund all of these programs.
It depends on what your tastes are. We encourage you to check out each hall's individual web page to find out more about our halls.
Visitation hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 24 hours from 9:00 a.m. on Friday until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. Each resident is responsible for his/her guest/visitor and should escort the guest/visitor at all times while in the residence hall or apartment, including while entering or exiting the building. This applies to same sex and opposite sex guests/visitors. Same sex guests who live in the same building as their host or hostess are allowed visitation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week provided there is no cohabitation.
Initial preference is given to students who have earned 30 credit hours of college work and a 2.5 cumulative GPA.
First, talk with your roommate about whatever it is that is bothering you. 99% of the time, problems can be worked out simply by talking about them. If that doesn't work, speak with your RA, they will sit down with both of you to facilitate communication, and they will have you fill out a roommate agreement. Once you have attempted to live under a roommate agreement for at least one week, if the problems have not been resolved, you may speak with the Resident Director about a room/hall change.
Room changes are not permitted until September. There is a cost of $25 fpr the 1st move, $50 for the 2nd move, $100 for the 3rd move, and $150 for the 4th move. Talk to your RA first to discuss any roommate issues. The RA will inform you on the process to change rooms after any roommate conflict is addressed.
You will know who your roommate is when you select your room assignment on the housing portal. In June, we will send you important information regarding your housing assignment. You are encouraged to check room assignment and roommate information on the housing portal.
