All Emory University residential policies may be amended at any time. The terms “residence,” “residence hall,” or “university housing” used herein refer to all the residential facilities owned or leased by Emory university.
The residential communities enhance the academic environment and strive to provide students with safe, well-maintained housing, and a positive living experience. All students have the right to expect a community that is conducive to study, sleep, and socialization. To foster this shared community, it is necessary for the university to have policies and procedures in place to protect individual and community rights and serve as community standards for all residents.
As a member of Emory University residential community, it is an expectation that you understand and abide by all University policies. The university is obligated to act when policies are violated. Students will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct. Please refer to the Undergraduate Code of Conduct or contact the Office of Student Conduct at (404.727.3154) for more information about the student conduct process.
Residents are responsible for the actions of their guests. In cases where the guest of a resident violates this policy, the hosting resident will be subject to student conduct consequences. If the guest is an Emory student, then they also will be held responsible for their actions.
It is an expectation that once students sign their respective Housing Agreements, they understand the rules and regulations of living in campus housing, regardless of whether residency is within a traditional residence hall, suite, apartment, sorority, fraternity house, or theme house. Throughout the year, publications, brochures, electronic mail messages, and flyers are distributed, sent, or posted to convey information to residents. Information is also provided at floor, hall, and apartment meetings and interactions between residential staff and residents.
Students are ultimately responsible for knowing about, and are held accountable for, the information listed below as well as information noted in the Emory Campus Life Handbook. Residence Life staff (e.g., Resident Advisor, Community Advisor, Coordinator, Complex Director, Assistant Director, Associate Director, etc.) are responsible for documenting policy violations.
