Does Residence have security features?

Residence offers great security from the moment you pass through the controlled main entrance, until you slide your electronic card into your private bedroom. All of the common areas are video recorded and we have staff on duty 24 hours a day. We believe that your safety is important. To that end, we require that all visitors to Falcon, Merlin or Peregrine sign in at the front desk prior to entry with a valid piece of photo identification and remain with their resident at all times.
Safety and security are also the responsibility of every resident. All of the safeguards and rules put in place by Residence management and the college are for your protection. Circumventing rules by lending key cards or letting visitors in without following procedures leads to problems for everyone. Make sure your unit and bedroom doors are locked at all times and do not leave valuables unattended in common areas.

The Residence and the college are not responsible for missing, lost or stolen items.

  • Surround residents with residence staff who are knowledgeable and committed to their success;
  • Collaborate with campus and community partners to ensure our residents receive the support they need to succeed;
  • Nurture a sense of personal responsibility and accountability through the application of our residence community standards.

To achieve our goals, we all must work together as members of the community to make residence a positive and supportive experience.

The Residence community comprises residents, staff, parents, guests and anyone else who contributes to Residence. All community members that come into the residence environment should know that the standards or rules must exist to ensure enjoyment and a positive experience for all members of our large, diverse community.

Navigating the delicate balance between supporting your student and allowing them the freedom to develop crucial decision-making skills can be challenging. We are committed to providing the support and resources to help you and your student during this transition.

I’m having trouble with a roommate, what do I do?

If you are having challenges or concerns in Residence, please speak to one of our Residence Life staff members. Our staff are fully trained to deal with any issue that may arise and will work to help you in any way we can.

If I, as a parent, am concerned about my son/daughter’s well-being, who can I contact?

Your student may get caught up in studies and social time and forget to call or email you as often as you would like. Moving to college is a very exciting time and often students will become so wrapped up in this new stage of their lives that it does not occur to them that you may be concerned. If you have any concerns about your student’s safety or health, please call and speak with the on-call Residence Life Manager. You can also call at any time to speak with one of our customer service representatives and we will work to pass your message along to your student.
