This guide is intended to serve as a resource and provide detailed information needed by you while you reside on campus. We encourage you to contact the Â̲èÖ±²¥ Department of Residential Life if you need additional assistance.
By accepting a housing offer and moving in, you are expected to live by the rules, regulations, and policies set by the University and state and federal laws. If you disagree with the institution's policies or regulations, we encourage you to motivate change through the appropriate supervisory channels. If you cannot change them and still cannot live with them, then on-campus living may not be for you.
While this guide is an essential reference for living on-campus, it is also expected that you will be familiar with the following University publications:
The Guide to Residence Hall Living contains information on policies and procedures that will be revised semesterly. Changes may be made as deemed necessary by the Department of Residential Life Operations, the Office of Auxiliary Enterprise Administration, or the Division of Student Affairs.
Please remember the process and deadlines, as this does take time. Animals cannot be brought onto campus or in residence until all paperwork has been completed and approved through the Self-Development, Counseling, and Special Accommodations Center AND all supplemental documents submitted to and approved by Residential Life.
In health events, residents must notify the office to protect the community. Learn more in the Guide to Residence Hall Living. Remember to limit visitors and gatherings, maintain proper personal hygiene, clean/disinfect areas for your belongings, self, and room/common areas, and wash hands or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are unavailable. We ask that you continue to respect those in our community. Your academic pursuit continues, and the residence halls should maintain their academic mission.
COVID-19 is a very serious infection that affects people to different degrees. Some students will not have any symptoms, but they are still contagious. Other students will have severe symptoms. You must follow these instructions and those given to you by the medical professional where you were tested and from this institution. These will be updated frequently as the university continues to abide by COVID-19 directives from the state of Louisiana and the University of Louisiana System and follow CDC guidelines.
