HOUSING AND RESIDENCE LIFE 2020-2021

All of these specially trained staff, including your neighbors, are here for you and are to be treated with respect at all times! LIVE-IN REQUIREMENT Single, first year students enrolled in seven college credits or more, under the age of 20, must live in a CWU residence hall for one academic year regardless of the number of earned college credits (WAC 106-156-010 and WAC 106-156-011). Running Start students entering college for the first time, regardless of class standing, are also required to live on campus for one academic year. Students requesting an exception to the policies must fill out an exemption form which can be found through their MyHousing portal or cwu.edu/housing. MYHOUSING PORTAL Your MyHousing portal is an important instrument while you live on campus. Here you will see your room assignment, sign up for housing, request to stay for breaks, sign up for move out times, and much more. DORM VS. RESIDENCE HALL It has been a long time since the days of “dorm” mothers and 10 p.m. curfews. For the next nine months, your residence hall will be your home and should be treated as such. It will be a place in which you will learn much about yourself, grow tremendously, and have a lot of fun! Dorm (dorm) n. 1. place for sleeping 2. building or part of one with sleeping rooms. Residence Hall (rez id enz hol) n. 1. where college students develop personally or mature 2. a college building in which experiences and programs result in positive growth. STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY Living in a residence hall at Central Washington University means living in a community of students. This community is a dynamic place, composed of various people with different values, cultures, lifestyles, and attitudes. As members of the community, we must strive to understand the individuality and life choices of those among us. We can best learn from one another in an atmosphere of positive encouragement and mutual respect. We must possess a genuine desire to learn from those around us as well as give others the respect we desire. Each person has a role to play in our residence hall community and should be allowed to do so.

Adapted from In Search of Community , Ernest Boyer, Carnegie Our curricular model puts learning at the forefront of the residential experience at Central Washington University. This model allows us to deliver an intentional experience that has our students learn about Community Living, Intercultural Competence, their Academic Pursuit, and Personal Responsibility and Wellness. Through their residential experience, we believe we can help students to become responsible citizens who serve as a resource to the region and the state. EDUCATIONAL PRIORITY All parts of our curriculum stem from our Educational Priority: “Through an intentional residential experience, our residents will transform into responsible citizens.” FIRST SIX-WEEK PROGRAM – PHASE IV OF ORIENTATION The first six weeks of your transition as a first year student are extremely critical to your success in college. The beginning of your college experience is an exciting time. These programs are designed to help you take advantage of everything Central has to offer you, and to help you avoid some of the common pitfalls. Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. EDUCATION IN RESIDENCE OUR CURRICULAR MODEL

Watch for programs addressing common issues during the first six weeks of fall quarter. These programs are linked to your University 101 class. YOU AND YOUR ROOMMATE This section was prepared to assist roommates in learning about one another so they may be able to live together harmoniously. The variety of topics attempts to provide a broad cross-section of the potential encounters you will have when sharing living space. Your roommate needs to know your general personal background, your attitude and emotions, your values (feelings, attitudes, opinions), and personal preference. The term “sharing” is most important here because residence hall living requires a concept of cooperation, whether it is with your roommate or with other residents on your floor. You can begin with a willingness to share some of yourself with your roommate. Open and honest communication usually ensures a satisfactory roommate relationship. The questions outlined below are provided to help you get started. Take each question separately—be open, be honest, and be complete. If you have difficulty talking about an issue or subject, make note of it and tell your roommate that you would like to come back to it. PERSONAL BACKGROUND: You should start by using the questions below to give your roommate some basic information about yourself—where you grew up, information about your schooling, family, hobbies, interests, etc. Try to offer more than “I’m from Renton and I’m interested in the outdoors.” Members of my family include: I am glad to be away from home because: I was not glad to leave home because: I chose Central Washington University because: PERSONAL VALUES: In this section, you are being challenged to communicate—try and share ideas, issues, and values. Learn what you should know about each other. This is the most crucial portion of the you and your roommate section, because it will help establish the basis for your living arrangements. How do I want our room to be utilized? I expect our room to be… Who will clean what and when? How about friends and visitors in our room? My feelings about my personal belongings are… My feelings about smoking are… Grades and studying are… I prefer to study… ATTITUDES AND EMOTIONS: Attitudes and emotions (our feelings and how we express them) are an important part of us. We convey feelings both verbally and non- verbally. This portion of you and your roommate encourages you to clarify the emotions and attitudes that you express. I am generally (reserved/outgoing/etc.)… My pet peeves are… When I am: …angry, I generally… …frustrated, I generally…

7

…sad, I generally… …concerned, I generally…

you will be provided with an online roommate agreement that will be found under your MyHousing account. We provide this agreement to you as a way to begin the process. As you write your agreement, try to be as specific as possible. Roommates have the right… To read and study in one’s room To be free from unreasonable noise To the respect and safety of personal property To have access to one’s room and facilities without interference To be free of intimidation, harassment, physical and/or emotional harm To personal privacy To host guests (within established guidelines) To see reasonable cooperation from roommate(s) Roommates have the responsibility… To adhere to rules and regulations To comply with reasonable requests made by staff or university officials To monitor and accept responsibility for the behavior of guests To report violations of rules and regulations to appropriate staff To respect the rights of others LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES RESIDENCE HALLASSOCIATION (RHA) RHA, the largest student organization on campus, is a student- elected body that serves as a liaison between the students living in the residence halls and the university. RHA deals with residents’ issues and concerns, promotes positive change, and offers a variety of educational and social activities based on student needs and interests. RHA executive board elections occur in the spring. The board is comprised of the following positions: President: Megan Anderson Vice President/ National Communications Chair (NCC): Kira Cox Secretary: Zachary Hubbard Treasurer: SarahLynn Mangan To contact the RHA office, call 509-963-7210, or email rha@cwu.edu. Join the RHA Facebook group at www.facebook. com/groups/CWURHA . Full-time professionals advise RHA. RESIDENCE HALL LEADERSHIP COUNCIL (RHLC) RHA serves as the umbrella organization for Residence Hall Leadership Council (RHLC) in each of the residence halls. Residents elect officers in each hall that will represent their residents’ issues and concerns at RHA meetings. RHLCs also coordinate hall activities, community service projects, and participate in RHA campus wide sponsored events. All residents are members of RHA and are encouraged to get involved in RHLC or RHA. Elections for RHLC positions occur at the beginning of fall quarter. Students interested in a leadership opportunity are encouraged to run for a position. Information can be obtained by contacting RHA or a hall staff member. SERVICES RENDERED BY THE UNIVERSITY EMAIL/COMMUNICATION AND NOTIFICATION Each student is assigned a CWU email address. This is considered a formal communication tool of the university and should be

…excited, I generally… …happy, I generally… It is (easy/hard) to talk about my feelings. Why? TEMPERATURE OF ROOM:

Do you like the room to be hotter or cooler? When is it okay to have the windows open? If you want to change the temperature, will you discuss it with your roommate first? SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS: When do you usually go to bed? How much sleep is important for you to have? Can you sleep with the light on? With music or the TV on? What time will you wake up in the morning? How do you feel about overnight guests? When is it okay to have guests spend the night? How will you discuss this with your roommate if an issue arises? QUIET AND STUDY TIME: How do you feel about taking naps in the room? If you were making too much noise, how would you like your roommate to discuss this with you? When do you study? Is it OK to play music or have the TV on while you study? Would you prefer to have set study times? When you are studying with a group, is it alright to be in the room? COMMUNICATION: What do you need when you are stressed or upset? If there is a problem between you and your roommate, how will you handle it? Is there anything else you want your roommate to know about you? CLEANING: How neat and clean do you like things to be? Who will vacuum, dust, take out the trash and recycling, etc? Do you prefer to have special assignments or a cleaning schedule? How often will these things be done? PERSONAL PROPERTY? What items can be shared and which may not? Do you mind if people use your TV, computer, game console, etc? Do you want to be asked before things are borrowed? VISITORS: Are there times when it could be preferred that visitors not be invited to visit the room? How do you feel about visitors of the opposite sex? How do you feel about your roommate’s visitors using your belongings? OUR REACTIONS TO EACH OTHER: Last but not least, you are at the point of drawing some conclusions and identifying positive and negative factors in your living situation with your roommate. Some things that I have learned from this discussion are… An important difference between us is… And we will work on this by… My roommate and I agree that we will do the following, if conflict occurs between us… ROOMMATE AGREEMENT Successful roommates stick things out by helping one another through the good and the bad times. Don’t quit on your roommate. Communication is key in any relationship—especially with your new roommate! Developing a positive relationship with your roommate is a process. When you move into your residence hall,

FIRE SAFETY EXPECTATIONS Before a fire occurs, you should prepare by knowing the location and route of your escape via the closest exit. No items or persons should block or obstruct doorways or hallways. Fire exit paths should be clear at all times. If a fire occurs, please follow the fire safety procedures outlined below: • Keep your head low and move quickly to the nearest exit. Crawl, if you can, so you do not breathe smoke. • Touch the door before opening it. Before touching the door handle, cover your hand for protection. Intense heat, deadly smoke, or gas may be on the other side. If the door is not hot, cautiously open it a few inches to check for heat, smoke, or flames on the other side. Keep your head out of the way while first opening the door and be ready to slam it shut if any heat or smoke rushes in. • Do not waste time getting dressed, looking for keys, or gathering valuables. Leave the building immediately and stay out. • Call the fire department (911) from a safe telephone and report the location of the fire. Stay on the telephone until instructed to hang up. • Alert other occupants of the building and the residence hall staff.
