Campus housing

Living on campus is a privilege that comes with responsibilities. We want the Residence Hall to remain a safe, welcoming place for all students, so the the Office of Residence Life will:

• Create an atmosphere conducive to learning, provide referral to appropriate academic support services and provide and assist in the academic advising process in the Residence Hall.
• Implement and foster a comprehensive educational component supporting students by providing programming enhancing understanding of cultural, ethnic, gender, physical, racial, sexual orientation and religious differences.
• Create and maintain a residence hall community in which students take responsibility for comprehending and enriching their environment while respecting the rights and needs of others within the SUNY Adirondack community.
• Provide students with affordable and comfortable on-campus housing accommodations.
  Facilitate the adjustment and transition of new students to SUNY Adirondack through various programs (e.g., new student orientation).
• Provide a disciplinary structure promoting and encouraging student accountability and responsibility.
• Provide values-based educational programming to raise student awareness of social, emotional, mental and physical health, substance abuse and responsible sexual behavior.
• Stimulate and encourage student participation in campus and community organizations.
• Strengthen recruitment and selection procedures to attract a high-quality and diverse professional and para-professional staff.
• Provide a comprehensive training and a developmental program for professional and para-professional staff.
• Have professional staff stay current with trends in higher education by keeping pace with student development theory through publications, attendance at conferences and participation in professional organizations.
• Provide a comprehensive ongoing evaluation/assessment of the housing and residence life operation including its personnel, programs and procedures.
