2 - DEPARTMENT OF RESIDENCE LIFE DEPARTMENT OF RESIDENCE LIFE The Department of Residence Life are dedicated to serving residents by providing living environments that are conducive to learning and personal growth. Comfortable, safe, and well-maintained residential facilities meet the basic living needs of residents and amenities are provided that enhance student satisfaction. Recognizing that student learning occurs both inside and outside of the classroom, educational success is promoted through a comprehensive scope of programs and services within the residential setting. Elements of the learning process are intentionally brought into the residence halls in order to extend the learning experience. Positive residential environments are created that promote community development and foster small group relationships among residents. Within these environments, residents bond collegially, which promotes loyalty to each other and to the University. RESIDENCE LIFE STAFF Professional Full-Time Staff The Director, along with the, Assistant Directors, and Area Coordinators are full-time, professional staff members who each have a minimum of a master s degree in Higher Education, College Student Development, or a related field and have been trained to work with college students. These staff are specifically responsible for supervising the Senior Resident Advisors and Resident Advisors, advising and mentoring students, responding to campus emergencies, and helping students become academically and socially successful. Residence Hall Student Staff Senior Resident Advisors (SRA) and Resident Advisors (RA) are assigned to each wing/ floor in the residence halls. SRAs and RAs are student leaders who build community on their wings and assist their residents in becoming successful during their time in the ERAU residence halls. S/RAs serve as activity planners, peer counselors, policy enforcers, role models, and friends for the students living in their areas. S/RAs are available to assist you at the front desks of Apollo Hall, Doolittle Hall, McKay Hall, O Connor Hall, and Tallman Commons in the Student Village. An S/RA is also available in the Chanute complex study lounge (1641 #6). In addition to answering questions and monitoring the lobbies, S/RAs work to promote the wellbeing of residents by securing doors and enforcing hall policies. Normal operating hours for the desks are from 7 p.m. to 12am. Sunday Thursday and 7 p.m. 1a.m. Friday Saturday.

Additionally, all students are required to have an Eagle card and to carry it with them at all times while on University property. Each student should be prepared to identify oneself and surrender one s student ID upon request of a University official, including but not limited to faculty and staff members, Resident Advisors, and Campus Safety & Security officers.

POLICIES - 7 accountable and possible judicial action may be taken for the behavior of their guests. ERAU reserves the right to deny access to any guest if it has been determined that such person has violated a residence hall or ERAU policy and/or disturbed, endangered, or disrupted the activities of any resident. 5. Due to potential fire hazard, each resident is allowed a maximum of two guests during approved visitation hours. Residents are permitted to have a maximum of two (2) overnight guests for a maximum of five(5) nights during a consecutive thirty (30) day period, provided that approval is given by all roommates/suitemates. No guests may exceed the five-night stay by changing hosts. 6. Overnight guests are not allowed during break times or during the first or last two weeks of each semester. 7. Each resident is assigned to a specific space in a room/ apartment. Only that resident is allowed to live in that assigned space; therefore, students are not allowed to have another person living in their assigned space/ apartment. This includes a person not assigned to the space/apartment who uses that space/apartment as if they were living there. Examples of this may include, but are not limited to accessing the room or apartment while the assigned occupants are not present, utilizing a key to enter a room or apartment to which one is not assigned (see key policy), keeping clothing and other personal belongings in the residence hall room or apartment, sleeping overnight in the room/apartment on a regular basis, and using the bathroom/shower facilities as if they lived in that room/ apartment. When guests or visitors continual presence hinders a roommate and/or suitemates ability to study, sleep, and/or occupy their room, it will be considered a violation of this policy. 8. Due to the concern for the safety and security of our residents and guests failure to follow the above procedures and policies may result in a minimum fine of $100 per guest per night, as well as restriction/removal of guest privileges.. This will be assessed to a resident s account. Visitation Hours & Overnight Guest Policy specific for firstyear students: 1. First-year students visitation privileges in residence hall rooms for opposite gender guests are during the following hours: a. Sunday-Thursday: 10 a.m. - 1 a.m. b.

The health and wellness of ERAU students is critical to the academic mission and the safety of the entire community. Ignorance of this policy will not be acceptable as an explanation for putting oneself or others in harm s way. NOTE: Any involvement with non-prescribed substances such as outlined above is considered dangerous and strictly forbidden by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and ERAU.

PEST CONTROL Students are prohibited from bringing and using Raid or any other insecticide as it counteracts the campus insecticide. The Florida climate makes pest control difficult. Although

Only one resident, if available, will be present in the room during the room search. Illegal substances or other contraband materials found during the course of the search will be confiscated, inventoried, and stored in the Campus Safety & Security Department. These items may be used as evidence in an administrative judicial process on the campus and/or criminal prosecution in the local community.
