Housing and Residence Life

The Office of Housing and Residence Life is dedicated to enhancing the out-of-the-classroom experience, which is recognized as a valuable opportunity for student learning. The program works to maintain a safe and secure environment for living and learning, develop a healthy community based on the University’s Benedictine values, and promote personal growth and wellness.

Saint Martin’s University believes in honoring the freedom of the individual and respecting the rights of the group. In the residence halls, each individual is valued within the context of the community and as a member. The residence hall community is committed to educational development, spiritual enrichment, and personal and relational growth.

All aspects of on-campus living accommodations are coordinated through the Office of Housing and Residence Life. The residence hall staff consists of the Director of Housing and Residence Life, one live-in Assistant Director, one live-in Residence Director, and a staff of Resident Assistants (known as RAs). Office hours are from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. An RA will be available at the Spangler and Parsons front desks from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm each night.

The RAs live in all four residence halls. RAs are on-call from 5:00 pm to 8:00 am Sunday through Thursday and 5:00 pm Friday to 5:00 pm Sunday. In addition, they organize and provide resources for programs and activities, act as arbitrators in cases of interpersonal conflicts, and along with the Residence Life professional staff, enforce all University and Housing policies.
