Membership in the Community
As members of the Oglethorpe University campus community
residential students have a specific set of rights and
responsibilities. Problems develop when one person fulfills
his/her responsibilities and another does not. Residence life
policies and regulations are designed to give a clear
understanding of what is expected of you as an Oglethorpe
University resident. It is important to recognize that a large
number of individuals live together in a residence hall. This
density of people creates a special need for being aware of how
one's individual actions can have a direct effect on others and
easily influence the environment of the entire hall. With these
ideas in mind, the Office of Residence Life has established a
number of guidelines that are intended to give you and your
neighbors a standard by which you can live and learn together.
Responsibilities of Community Living
As an important member of this residential community you have the
responsibility to:
Verbally express your views to the person(s) involved, should you
feel your rights have been violated.
Treat other residents with respect and consideration and grant
them their individual rights.
Understand all policies and regulations necessary for the hall and
University community to function.
Respond to all reasonable requests from fellow residents.
Respond to and cooperate with all Oglethorpe University and
residence hall staff members at all times.
Take responsibility for personal and community safety; i.e. do not
misuse safety equipment, do not prop open security doors and do
not lose, loan, or forget room keys.
Accept responsibility for your behavior and that of your guests at
all times.
Recognize that public areas and their furnishings belong to
everyone and that abuse of those areas violates the rights of all
community members.
