RA Roommate Agreement
RA Roommate Agreement
The Residence Life department鈥檚 hope is that an RA and
his/her roommate will have a friendship and roommate relationship that can be
encouraging and 色综合久久ive for both the RA and the roommate(s). However, there are some unique expectations
that an RA鈥檚 roommate(s) may face and we don鈥檛 want any student to go into this
situation without understanding what the year may hold. While we can鈥檛 predict everything that will
happen throughout the year here are some things that you can expect:
- The roommate(s) of an RA
are not expected to be the RA, the assistant RA or the substitute RA.
- There may be times that a
student from the floor/section may come to the room/apartment to talk to
the RA and the roommate may need to leave the room to allow the student
some privacy with the RA.
- The roommate(s) of an RA
may overhear or be privy to some information about residents of the floor
or other things the RA is processing because of his/her role. The roommate(s) is expected to treat
this information with the same level of confidentiality that the RA does.
- The RA and the roommate(s)
of an RA are expected to uphold the Community Covenant and the policies
stated in the Student Handbook.
- If conflict arises and a
roommate of an RA feels that they cannot talk directly to the RA he/she
should talk with an RD about the situation.
- If a roommate conflict
cannot be resolved, the roommate of the RA will be expected to move
because the RA is required to live on/in the floor/section they are
currently assigned to.
- The RA and roommate(s) are
encourage to complete a roommate living preferences survey that will be
provided by the RD by the first week in September.
- In order to create a
peaceful roommate atmosphere for both the roommate(s) and the RA, all
living in the room/apartment are encouraged to meet with the RD at the end
of September to discuss expectations and evaluate their living situation.
