  Residence Life Handbook

Foreword

Residence Life at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology augments the mission of the Division of Student Affairs and the institution through responsible community living, learning and leading. Residence Life supports this mission as follows:

  • Housing facilities offer a safe, modern, living and learning environment for on-campus students;

  • Resident students achieve academic success;

  • Resident students demonstrate responsible and ethical community behavior.

Residence hall living is a unique and valuable part of your educational experience. You will spend more time in the hall than in any other location on campus. It is the place where you will develop relationships with people who will exert more influence on you than any other campus group—and you on them.

The Residence Life staff (especially Resident Assistants, the Assistant Hall Director, Hall Directors, NAU Crew Coordinators and Apartment Managers) will play a role in providing a comprehensive array of programs designed to refine and expand your skills and knowledge and provide you with services that enhance your stay in the residence halls and apartments. Also, much like life outside the college environment, living in the residence halls (or apartments) can present difficulties and problems. The Residence Life staff is available to help you resolve many of these difficulties, but you have a responsibility too.

As a member of this unique community, you will have many opportunities to influence our living environment. Living in a group environment requires some basic guidelines. They are used to protect the rights of the individual in a group-living situation. But, there will be situations in which you will need to make decisions about your behavior, and you will be accountable for the choices you make.

Remember, the residence life staff is available to assist you in any way possible. The variety of opportunities available to you will help in your development as a student and as a person. Hopefully, most will be positive experiences that will influence you throughout your life. How much or how little you grow will depend largely on yourself and your attitude toward your environment. Make a commitment to succeed at the School of Mines. We are here to help you!
