Forms
The Organization of Residence Student’s Council and the Department of Housing Services host many events, sessions, and social activities each term through the residence life and education program. As the health and safety of the on-campus housing community is a high priority for Housing Services and the University, all staff are provided with training on event planning and risk management processes to ensure all sanctioned activities are reasonably safe, appropriate, well-planned, and the risks and hazards are removed or mitigated accordingly. Additionally, participation in any component or aspect of an event, session, or activity is always voluntary and can be revoked at any time by an attendee.
All students living in residence are required to sign a general social activity waiver in order to participate in residence life programming. This document is intended to cover most activities of low to moderate risk that the ORS Council and Housing Services will host. Examples of these activities include travel to and navigating the Corn Maze, non-contact physical activities such as capture the flag or bowling, and social potlucks.
Events with moderate to high-risk factors follow a more extensive process. The event plans are thoroughly reviewed and evaluated, including consultation with and approval by Housing Services, the University, and the Students’ Union. As necessary, additional precautions or requirements like risk and hazard assessments are documented and appropriate controls implemented such as first aid requirements, personal protective equipment (PPE), contingency plans, and often an event-specific waiver. Examples of these activities generally include but are not limited to events with travel outside the city limits, ski and snowboard trips, climbing or trekking, and aggressive sporting activities like bubble soccer or ultimate frisbee.
Residents may wish to apply to change the status from alcohol-free to alcohol permitted in their rooms. A completed Consent for Alcohol in Room form must be approved by Housing Services. The forms must be signed by all roommates, and the floor RA and then submitted to Housing for consideration. Applicants must be 18 years old at the time of the form submission. Housing will communicate with the students, RA’s, and Security within a week of form submission.
ALCOHOL CONSENT IN ROOM
If you are under the age of 18, you can still apply for housing, but will require a parent or guardian to sign your Housing contract (Single Students Housing License Agreement) and Food Services Dining Plan contract on your behalf on move-in day. The document must be completed by you and your parent or guardian.
The overnight guest registry form is required for all overnight guest stays. The form must have the signature of all roommates involved and the RA before approval by the Housing Services Staff. The host resident is at all times, responsible for the behavior, actions, and/or damage caused by his/her guest. Violations resulting from the above behaviors can result in further guest privileges being suspended for the remainder of the term OR a Notice to Vacate being served by the Housing office. The Housing Office and the ORS attempt to administer these guidelines with a degree of fairness to ALL residents. Attempts to abuse the process will result in the suspension of guest privilege. For more information on Guests in Residence, please view the Residence Handbook.
Please note: Summer accommodation for parents can be booked through the Lux Hotel on campus.
A completed room change request form must be approved by Housing Services. (The student account will be charged a $50.00 non-refundable fee once a room change has been approved). Restricted Periods: First two weeks of any given term and once 22-hour quiet hours have started within each term.
The Emergency Dining Plan Fund is intended to support current resident students who have insufficient resources and/or low or diminished Dining Plan balance.
