These resources include information about campus living expectations, safety policies and student responsibilities.

The Residence Life staff encourages you to have fun, meet other people and make the most of your Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ experience. Living on campus can be just as educational and fulfilling as academics, and just like academics, there are rules and guidelines to campus life. The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Student Handbook and University Housing Living Guide will serve as your “syllabi” for a safe and fulfilling collegiate experience.

Questions about residence life policies, the Student Handbook or University Housing Living Guide can be directed to the Director of Residence Life.

A Resident Assistant (RA) is a student staff member employed by Residence Life. RAs are trained to answer questions you may have about the university, provide referrals to campus resources, mediate roommate conflicts, ensure the cleanliness and safety of the building and enforce the policies and procedures found in the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Student Handbook and University Housing Living Guide.

RAs also help develop a fun, social community. They plan a variety of social and educational programs that let you socialize with your peers and make the most of your residential experience. Students can learn about upcoming programs from postings in the halls, their RA or the RA Duty Office.

The Check In / Check Out Form (CICO) is an electronic record of the condition of your specific room or apartment.

Before you arrive on campus, Residence Life staff inspect the room and document any existing damage and the condition of the furniture. Residents should review the CICO with their Resident Assistant (RA) by the end of the Labor Day holiday period to confirm the record is accurate.

When you check out of your room, a Resident Assistant compares the room’s condition to the CICO. Any new damage or alterations to the room may result in charges from Campus Services.

If you and your roommate are unable to resolve a conflict, contact your Resident Assistant (RA) for assistance.

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Housing and Residence Life hope that every roommate grouping will yield positive relationships and experiences for students. However, we also recognize that sometimes roommates are unable to reach a compromise. 

If you want to move in with a friend that has a vacant bedspace in their unit, please contact Campus Housing. The office is located at the Sunrise Center. Phone: (321) 674-8076 Email: housing@fit.edu
