Student Staff Members Working for You

The Resident Advisor (RA) is a full time SDSU student who has had intensive training on the developmental issues of college-age students. An RA lives on each floor of the residence hall and works on a part-time basis. The RA is available to listen to a student's concerns and help them seek additional help, when necessary. The RA also is responsible for bringing inappropriate conduct to a resident's attention. Applications for Resident Advisors are now accepted year round.

Residence Hall Coordinator Assistants (RHCAs) are experienced residential life staff members who provide leadership in residence hall management issues and serve as members of the senior residence hall staff. They assist the residence hall coordinator in coordinating functions for students in the hall. Major responsibilities include assisting the RHC in overall management, including primary responsibility for the desk operation.

Each hall has a live-in RezCon Assistant (RCA). RCAs help you get your computer set up and connected to online services, including e-mail and the Internet. RCAs can only help you with network connectivity issues. (For general computing questions, call the Student Computing Help Desk or your computer's manufacturer).

Desk Assistants (DAs) are the hall student staff members responsible for assisting you with customer service, in monitoring the security of the hall, disseminating information and equipment, processing mail and enforcing expectations related to safety procedures. They are on duty 24 hours a day. Security Monitors (SMs) are student employees committed to enhancing the security of the halls. They provide needed evening service in monitoring main building entrances and checking in residents and guests. DAs and Security Monitors depend on you to show your student ID card with hall sticker every time you pass the desk.
