The Office of Student Life is
located on the second floor of the J. Lamar Branch Student Center. The mailing
address is ABAC 24,
Approximately one-third of
the student population resides on campus. A professional hall director holding
a masters degree lives in each residence hall. Male students are housed in
Branch Hall, Fulwood Hall, and Mitchell Hall. Female
students are housed in Fulwood Hall and Chandler
Hall. Because of the implementation of Title IX by the Department of Education,
it is illegal for any college or university receiving federal funds to impose
curfew on any student on the basis of sex. Residence halls do not have enforced
curfew regulations. Outside doors are locked 24 hours per day. Residents are
issued keys and come and go at their own discretion.
Normally, two students share
a room. Under special circumstances, however, private room accommodations may
be available in designated residence halls. All private room requests will be
handled by the Housing Coordinator based on the availability of space and the
student’s individual circumstances. An additional charge will be made for
private rooms.
A student residing in college
residence halls should furnish a study lamp, iron, bed linens, towels, mattress
cover, waste basket, and other personal items. A student with less than 30
semester hours of college credit is required to live in a residence hall,
except those who are (1) married; (2) can show proof of financial independence;
(3) living at home with parents or guardians. Other exceptions are made only if
room is not available in a residence hall, and each exception must be approved
by the Director of Student Life.
The college’s residence halls
close during the Spring breaks and between semesters. A student who wants to
stay on campus during those times may make special arrangements with the
Housing Coordinator for available space at a modest fee.
