Community Expectations
When you choose to live in residence, you choose to join a community. It is essential that everyone follow common standards and expectations are followed by everyone to create a safe, supportive and inclusive community for our diverse residence population.
RESIDENCE AGREEMENT
The Residence Agreement is the contract between you as a tenant and the university as your landlord. A breach of the Residence Agreement can result in a range of outcomes, including residence probation and eviction from residence.
RESIDENCE COMMUNITY STANDARDS POLICY
The Residence Community Standards Policy outlines the rights and responsibilities of students living in residence, the responsibilities of Residence Services and the procedures for using restorative practices for responding to cases of negative, disruptive or inappropriate behaviour.
