Residence Assistants live in the residence and are available for students 24/7. We maintain a safe, secure location with 24-hour video cameras throughout the facility. Security codes are required to access the residence and non-residents are not allowed on site without being accompanied by a resident.
Each student receives an orientation on their first day in residence. The Residence Manager provides information about the building and informs students about safety practices and residence services. The Residence Agreement will be explained and the student’s rights and responsibilities will be clarified. Students are encouraged to observe the residence’s rules to have an enjoyable, safe and respectful shared living environment.
Student concerns or issues will never go unheard. Students can talk to the Residence Assistants or the Residence Manager confidentially at any time. We maintain a positive, respectful and safe environment. Our staff are trained in conflict resolution and effectively address any issues that may arise between students.
