Office of Residential Life Expectations and Code of Conduct

The University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR) and the Office of Residential Life (ORL) are proud of the housing experience provided to student residents and work hard to create a truly engaging and connected community within 318 Commons. We recognize the most important factor of our community is the residents who live in our building. The experience in hall will be profoundly affected by the actions of those around you, and your own actions and behaviors. You will be held to high behavioral standards during your time at UMR, and this extends to your time in housing.

While in housing, you are responsible for the safety, security and cleanliness of your living environment which includes spaces outside of your individual living unit. In addition, you will be expected to treat staff, community members and other authorized personnel with respect while living in housing. Ultimately, we want your time living on campus to be fun and our policies and procedures are designed with the intention of creating a consistent and fair environment, with standards that promote positive and respectful communities.
