Congratulations

Dear Community Member,
By choosing to become a member of the Residence Hall Community,
you have just opened the door to a world of new opportunities.
You are a successful student! Now you have a unique opportunity
to develop not only academically, but socially, culturally,
interpersonally and ethically.
Your home is your Residence hall should provide you with
an environment in which you can be academically successful.
Your staff is talented, well trained and committed to
your success. You are also a member of the Residence
Hall Association, a nationally recognized student organization
which provides leadership opportunities, educational
and social experiences, and invites you to participate
in the self governance of your community.
A unique aspect of on-campus living is participating
in activities and programs in your living community.
Your Residential Education Staff and Hall Council will
provide a diversity of social, educational, cultural
and community service activities. Residence hall activities
and programs provide you with valuable learning opportunities,
while also developing a sense of community in your living
area. We encourage you to take advantage of these events
to learn more about yourself and your neighbors, to be
exposed to new ideas, to enhance your academic performance,
and to relax and have fun! Activities in the halls provide
an informal environment for you to become acquainted
with your neighbors, your hall staff, your Faculty-in-Residence,
and other members of the campus community.
We encourage you to read this guide, and refer to it
often. We hope that it will become a resource to you
in engaging in all the opportunities provided, and in
providing information to assist you in responsible and
ethical decision making. Have a wonderful year!
Your Staff
Responsibility of Residents
Living in residence halls is an extension of the classroom
learning experience. Residence halls provide a unique
opportunity to put citizenship development into practice.
Part of being a member of a community means being afforded
certain rights, such as the right to express one's uniqueness
and individuality in a group setting. At the same time,
being a member of the residence hall community means demonstrating
a willingness to abide by community standards. We promote
open expression of individuality and diversity within
the bounds of courtesy, sensitivity, and respect. The
residence halls at SDSU have policies and regulations
that govern group living. By signing the Student Housing
License Agreement, you agreed to abide by these community
standards. Please read through all of the Policies
& Regulations for 2004-05
upon move-in.
