Residential Life Policies Trinity's Residential Life policies and procedures reflect the University Standards of Conduct: Respect for Self, Respect for Others, Respect for Property, and Respect for Community and the assumption of personal responsibility. These policies are in place for the safety and wellbeing of all members of the Trinity community. Students who violate Residential Life policies are subject to judicial action.
Residential Life Procedures Residential Life conducts bi-annual Health and Safety inspections in all student rooms. This year they will take place: October 19 - November 2 (Fall 2009), and March 1 - March 12 (Spring 2010).
The 2009-2010 Board and Residential Agreement states that “authorized individuals of the University or Residential Life staff shall have access to the room covered by this Agreement in order to check for maintenance required, damage to the room or furnishings, janitorial and maintenance service, compliance with University rules and regulations...”
Hall Managers, Resident Assistants, Resident Mentors, and Community Liaisons will enter all student rooms in pairs looking for working smoke detectors, overloaded outlets, fire hazards, livable cleanliness as well as balcony policy compliance. While it is not the purpose of the inspection to seek out other violations (i.e. alcohol, drugs) if Resident Mentors or Resident Assistants come across a violation, they will refer it to the Student Conduct Board. If your room does not fully pass inspection, staff will notify you to address any issues before their return within a few days.
Reporting Missing Students
In accordance with federal regulations (U.S. Department of
Education Clery Act amendments 2008), and in the best interest
of student safety, Trinity University has established a
procedure for reporting missing students who reside on campus.
Specifically, anyone (including students, employees, family
members, employers, etc.) can, and should, report a missing
resident to the Department of Campus Security immediately. Other
University officials (Residential Life staff) are available to
assist and support those reporting missing persons. While a
24-hour window of waiting time is standard, reports can be made
anytime a concern arises. Parents and guardians of students, as
listed in the University data system, will be notified in the
event a report has been filed. If a student wishes to identify a
different individual for notification, his or her contact
information must be sent by e-mail to the Residential Life
Office at
ResLife@trinity.edu. (The University is required to contact
parents or guardians of missing students who are under the age
of 18.) The room reservation process for returning students who will live on campus for the 2010-2011 academic year will take place April 5- April 9. Information about the process will be available March 22, 2010. |
