Office for Residential Life and Housing Services

Policies & Guidelines

At the University of Rochester, graduate and family housing residents expect their housing communities to be places where they:

  • can pursue their academic goals in an environment conducive to learning;
  • have buildings that are physically clean and well cared for;
  • are respected for who they are—where differences are not only tolerated but celebrated;
  • take responsibility for their actions;
  • respect the rights of others;
  • are entitled to their own opinions but understand the importance of compromise;
  • and uphold the standards of the community for the good of the entire community.
