Supporting the Academic Mission

The college life is all about learning; from figuring out how to live with a roommate, to understanding out how to study for a college exams, to mastering how to fit it all into your schedule. The experience of living in a residence hall can have a huge influence on developing the learning skills for life and most importantly, academic success.

Residence Life recognizes its role as a partner in the academic mission of the University and has developed the Caring and Inclusive Learning Community Effort. This program offers services and information to help students understand the importance of investing in their education. The following programs are available for students living in the residence halls.
