Living in a residential community requires students to take independent responsibility for their own self-care and the impact of their behavior on others.
Residents are expected to independently manage daily life functions, including appropriate personal hygiene, management of mental health conditions, medical concerns or illnesses, and/or disability-related personal needs. To request disability-related accommodation, please contact Services for Students with Disabilities.
Residents may not ask roommates, Housing and Residence Life staff, or other residents living within their community to be responsible for their self-care needs. If a student needs care providers to have access to their hall/room, they should contact their residence director (RD) to make arrangements.
Students whose behavior disrupts the community may be asked to adhere to an action plan. Residents are expected to utilize the various resources available to them to provide this care for themselves.
When an act of self-destructive behavior or an apparent threat of serious harm occurs, University Housing reserves the right to notify the resident’s parent or guardian.
