Residence Life Policies and Services
Residential students should maintain certain expectations regarding the quality of their living environment. Such expectations are informed and circumscribed by both the essential mission of the College as an educational entity and the rights of other residential students to participate within that mission. Specifically, Keuka College resident students may expect:
- to study within one’s room without undue interference,
- to enjoy a quality of living which enhances the learning process (e.g.: sleeping without undue interference, free access to one’s room, and a clean living environment),
- access to student conduct processes which allow for the appropriate redress of grievances, and
- personal privacy and the ability to host guests; provided these do not interfere with either the institution’s mission or degrade the quality of residential living for other resident students.
It is the responsibility of the College, through the collaborative efforts of appropriate residential life and student affairs staff, residential governing boards, and other student governance bodies, to ensure that an environment is created wherein such residential expectations may be realized. Behavior that detracts from residential environments and, by necessity, hinders realization of the above stated expectations, will be referred to the appropriate student conduct bodies and subject to appropriate student conduct sanctions.
