WELCOME TO CENTRAL!
The Department of Residence Life is delighted that you have decided to become a part of our family.
Living on campus provides students with the unique opportunity to interact with new friends from around the world. During your college years, you will have many chances to get "hands-on" experience to meet people of diverse backgrounds. We encourage you to embrace this experience because you will never have an opportunity to affect so many people/become positively impacted by others in an informal settling like this in the future.
Students will find the "living/learning" experience to be warm, friendly, and interactive. The residence halls will provide you with positive memories that you will always cherish.
We invite you to become an active member in your community and make your on-campus living experience the best time of your life!

RESIDENCE LIFE STAFF
Professional Staff
A professional housing staff member is responsible for the overall operation of the residence hall s/he supervises in each residential area. The mission of the professional housing staff is to give you the personal assistance, counseling and advice that you need.
An important function of the professional staff member is to maintain close contact with all segments of the student population and develop means of assessing student needs and interests
The professional staff is trained in areas of management, programming, interpersonal relations and counseling. Additionally, they are responsible for supervising and training resident assistants (RAs) and desk staff personnel, providing leadership development opportunities, responding to disciplinary actions, and serving as advisors for student organizations. The professional staff reserves the right to meet with you at any time deemed necessary during your stay at Central Connecticut State University.
Resident Assistant Staff
Each residential area is fully staffed by a team of student paraprofessionals. These individuals are better known as Resident Assistants (RAs). RA's are carefully selected and trained to help residents create a community environment conducive to individuals and social growth. Each RA strives to empower students to identify needs and determine goals, maintain visibility, provide opportunity for student involvement in the residential community, and assist individual students in realizing and implementing a mature approach to personal conduct. We encourage you to call upon your RA as a resource person in gathering information and answering questions about the university.
Sign In Workers
Each building has sign in staff that work every night to ensure the safety and security of the building. Sign In staff may ask you to present your University ID card at any time or request your cooperation while you are in the building. They are also there to make sure that all guests are signed in to the building. It is expected that residents (and their guests) will comply with any reasonable request made by these staff members.

COMMUNITY LIVING
Creating a community that enhances your college experience is a high priority at Central. The Department of Residence Life strives to make your living environment more than a place to sleep. We are committed to providing you with opportunities that will allow you to learn about yourself and others, interact with diverse students and develop a sense of community. We feel that we share a partnership with other members of the University by providing you with the necessary tools and resources to succeed. Your college experience is one that you should remember for a lifetime. It is our hope that you find living on campus to be filled with opportunities for you to grow personally and professionally.
You should realize that you play an important part in the community of your building. Getting along with your roommate should be at the top of your list of priorities, but so should learning how to live with other members residing on your floor. You are not only sharing a bedroom but also a bathroom, common areas and television. The members of a community will determine its existence and their willingness to be responsible individuals to shape its success.
You have the responsibility to live up to these rules and regulations and to work with others in your community to create an atmosphere that promotes studying and social interaction. You can achieve this upon your arrival to campus once you move into your room and meet your roommate and the residence life staff. We encourage you to ask questions and seek out the residence life staff when you have problems or concerns.
Your Residence Hall Room
You've just arrived and met your roommate. You've set up the furniture and now it's time to decide how to decorate your new home. Organizing your room is important because you will be living in that space for the next nine months. Keep in mind that you will be sleeping, studying and having friends visit, so decorate accordingly. This is your opportunity to express your individuality! Your room reflects you and your roommate.
Back to Top
DAMAGE AND ROOM CONDITION FORMS
Upon check-in you will receive a room condition form that details the inventory and condition of your room. This form serves as a record of the contents and condition of your room. It is important that students verify this form accurately and thoroughly to avoid a damage bill prior to your occupancy of the room.

VISITOR SIGN-IN PROCEDURE
All visitors to residence halls from 7 p.m. to the end of visiting hours must sign in and indicate whom they plan to visit. The resident will receive a phone call from the visitor, prior to arrival, to meet down at the sign-in desk. At that time, the resident must provide his or her signature to assure that the visitor is indeed a guest and to assume all responsibility for that guest. In order to sign into that building, a guest must show a valid form of identification, specifically, a school I.D. or driver's license. Visitation hours end at midnight on Sunday-Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday-Saturday. All visitors must sign out upon leaving. If a guest is planning to stay overnight, the appropriate box provided on the sign-in log must be checked. At the beginning of the semester, roommates may sign an "Overnight Visitation Pass" which allows both roommates to have late/overnight visitors. Residence hall students may have late night visitors for up to three consecutive nights. If a visitor chooses to stay past the visiting hours, he or she must check the box indicating that intention. Guest(s) are to abide by University policy. Students are responsible for what transpires in their rooms, whether or not they are present.

Software programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, Access and PowerPoint are available via the use of the computer labs.
To see all policies involving student computers on campus and computer labs see Computer Use Policy section of the handbook. Illegal Downloading & Copyrighted Materials Policy
The University (in accordance with the Record Industry Association of America) has a strict policy regarding the downloading of illegal and copyrighted materials. Illegal downloading of copyrighted materials (incl. Video/audio games) is strictly prohibited. Violation of this policy will be dealt with severely.
Peer to Peer (P2P) File Sharing
If you are looking for specific information, it enables you to connect with another user who has that information. The connection is made through Peer-to-Peer (P2P) programs that you can freely download off the Internet. These programs allow the creation of a network, enabling each computer in the network to act as a server.
P2P file sharing is like a library where everyone brings together their collection of favorite music, films, games or pictures, etc. You can search through a catalog for what you want and if it's listed, then you can copy it.
Beware!
- Most entertainment files infringe the copyright laws and if you share them, knowingly or unknowingly, you are putting yourself at risk of prosecution!
- These networks don't provide you with much security, as it gives other people access to parts of your computer hard drive in the same way as you can have access to theirs. It means that other people or P2P sharing programs can get and put files on your hard drive, including Spy ware! Programs such as Spy ware can damage your PC as well as create problems with Internet applications.
- Computer viruses are easily contracted, particularly as file downloads are typically from unknown sources.
- If your PC hosts large numbers of files for other people to download, it will dramatically slow down your PC.
The RIAA has announced that it will not pursue P2P users who step forward before being targeted for past illegal sharing of copyrighted works. Instead, those who want to start fresh will be asked to sign a declaration pledging they will delete all illegally obtained music files from their hard drives and never again digitally distribute or download music illegally. Detailed information on how to apply and qualify for this amnesty is available at the website www.musicunited.org.
University Policy on Electronic Student Communications
Central Connecticut State University relies upon the use of electronic messaging systems to provide official University communications to its students. Electronic communications allow the University to provide more timely information to the campus community, while reducing administrative costs. As with traditional postal mail messages, the University expects any electronic messages sent to be received and read by the student in a timely manner. Each student is responsible for reviewing his or her designated e-mail account frequently to receive official University correspondence.
The University Information Technology Services Department provides active students with either a University e-mail account or the option of supplying the University with a valid forwarding address to their third party e-mail provider. The e-mail delivery method and address chosen by the student will be considered by the University to be the student's e-mail address for the purpose of receiving official University electronic communications.
It shall be the responsibility of the student to promptly inform the University via the on-line account management system of changes to their e-mail address. The on-line account management system is available via the web at http://accounts.ccsu.edu. Additionally, students are responsible for ensuring their e-mail account is properly maintained to receive University e-mail messages. This includes adequate mail quota, anti-spam filters and account activations. As with the postal mail service, the University assumes no responsibility for any messages not received or read by the student. Students are advised to be aware of all relevant University policies and schedules, including those used for registration, billing, health services, etc.
Electronic communications are not considered a secure mechanism for transmitting confidential and/or private information. Students are advised to exercise caution when using electronic communications to discuss such information. Electronic communications, as with all University documents, are subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

RESIDENCE HALL ACTIVITIES
If residence halls were just a place where students slept, we would call them "dormitories". Today, residence halls are much more comprehensive, seeking to help students in their development and in reaching their potential through a wide range of activities and programs. Each residence hall council elects officers that are responsible for planning residence hall activities and services. Each hall also has representation on the Inter Residence Council (IRC). The success of the Department of Residence Life is based on the involvement of students through their halls, and the variety of IRC committees that help shape residential policies and services. Students are encouraged to become involved in our community. For more information about IRC see the IRC webpage at www.ccsu.edu/irc.
Back to Top
INTER RESIDENCE COUNCIL
Each residence hall has their own hall council. Hall council members are elected by submitting letters of intent and voting at a hall council meeting. The Hall council executive board consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Other committee members include food committee, area wide committee, finance committee, Community Development Committee, Dean's Cup representatives, technology committee, and floor representatives.
Inter Residence Council, I.R.C., consists of an executive board, committee members, and it oversees the hall councils. I.R.C. also provides programs for all of the residence halls.
Back to Top
SOCIAL FEES
Each student pays $44 annually ($22/semester) to assist the residence hall council and IRC with activities and programs to enhance your college experience. Programs such as special trips to Six Flags, concerts, as well as resources such as cleaning supplies, kitchen utensils and board games are made available through your payment of social fees.
