A Message from the DirectorWelcome to the university of Vermont and the Department
of residential life! We know that attending college today is
a family decision, and we are happy that your student and
family have chosen to join our campus community.
We understand that transitioning into college can be as overwhelming
for families as it is for students. That’s why we’ve published this guide. Inside you will find all you need to know about living on campus, as well as services, resources, and general information about living in and visiting Burlington.
The University of Vermont’s residential community is a place where we will provide your student with a solid foundation that will support those first steps into adulthood and social independence. Our mission emphasizes this, as we strive to foster an inclusive culture of student learning, personal growth, and community involvement.
We live our mission every day. Our live-in support staff consists of full-time professionals, graduate professionals, and undergraduate students, and each of our staff members plays a vital role in every student’s transition to UVM. furthermore, staff members at all levels of the department are trained to build and facilitate community, mentor and advise students, and respond to emergencies.
as the year unfolds, we encourage you to take full advantage of all the informational resources available to you. In addition to this guide, resLife provides every student with our Housing and Meal Plan Contract Terms & Conditions, and we hope that you will take the time to read it. Our website is filled with information about our department and living on campus, and we also invite you to sign up for our electronic family newsletter.
If we’ve overlooked anything, or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our main office is located in robinson hall on redstone Campus (see our campus map) and is open Monday through friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
On behalf of the entire resLife staff, I wish all students and families the best of luck at the University of Vermont.
Sincerely,
Dr. stacey A. MillerDirector of Residential LifeThe University of Vermont
MissionThe Department of residential Life’s mission is to foster an inclusive culture of student learning, personal growth, community involvement, and programming in order to develop a socially just and safe community of global citizens. To rEaCh our mission we will:
• Respect: Create an inclusive community where all perspectives are shared and valued, and individuals are expected to take responsibility for actions that impact themselves and others.
• Ethics: Instill ethical decision-making skills that support academic and personal integrity, inclusivity, diversity, and responsibility.
• Academics: Establish a residential environment that complements the academic mission and is an integral part of the educational experience.
• Collaboration: Build and maintain partnerships across the University and the greater Burlington area to optimize the holistic development of our residential community.
• Health & Wellness: Encourage all members of our residential community to engage in lifelong wellness by supporting healthy choices around mind, body, and spirit.
Commitment to InclusionWe, members of the Department of residential Life, are committed to creating and maintaining safe communities that welcome and accept people of all abilities, ages, ethnicities, classes, genders, gender identities, gender expressions, national origins, races, religions, sexes, sexual orientations, and veteran status.
We are committed to confronting situations of intolerance that result from a lack of respect, knowledge, or awareness. Whether these acts of intolerance are public or private, they harm the individual and community as a whole and are irreconcilable with the mission of the university.
Our goal is to instill respect and foster a sense of community that creates, promotes, and supports a socially just residential environment. Students, faculty, and staff are provided opportunities to understand, accept, and appreciate each other through various means including conversations, programming, advocacy, education, support, reflection, and relationship building.

every residence hall at uVM has a team of staff members
dedicated to helping students throughout their residential
experience. residents are encouraged to utilize the support
and resources available to them from these individuals.
ResLife Staffhttp://reslife.uvm.edu/guide/staff
resident Advisors (rAs) resident advisors are returning undergraduate students who provide educational and social programming, and build strong communities. ras are the first point of contact for their residents and are trained to help connect them to any support they may need.
Assistant residence Directors (ArDs) assistant residence directors are full-time graduate students who split their time between the classroom and their live-in resLife duties. The arD assists the residence director (rD) in all matters pertaining to the management of a residential complex, which includes supporting students, supervising ras, communicating and implementing resLife policies, and advising student organizations.
residence Directors (rDs) residence directors are full-time student affairs professionals who live and work in a residential complex. They strive to establish an environment that fosters academic achievement, personal development, multicultural awareness, and the comfort and safety of residents. rDs supervise a group of ras and an arD, communicate and implement policies, and are available to respond to emergencies. In addition, they are a great resource for residents who may need to talk to someone about their transition to UVM, a roommate issue, or where to find support for their academic needs.
Assistant Directors (ADs) assistant directors are full-time student affairs professionals who supervise rDs and oversee several residential
complexes. They manage the training and selection processes for professional and ra staff, and are available to residents who have questions, issues, or concerns.
Office Managers (OMs) Office managers are full-time staff members who manage the main desk operations of residential complexes. They supervise desk staff, oversee mail delivery, manage room changes, and assist with maintenance requests. OMs know a lot about UVM as a whole and are a great resource for residents.
Custodial staff Every community member shares in the responsibility of keeping the residence halls safe and clean. Each residence hall has a team of custodial staff who take great pride in maintaining a safe and healthy living environment.

Costs and FeesThe costs associated with living on campus include the room rate, meal plan, and Inter-residence association (Ira) fee. Total cost varies and is based on the room style and type of housing, as well as the meal plan selected. These rates are outlined in detail on the resLife website and in the housing and meal plan contract. Students are billed twice a year, in July and november, prior to the start of the fall and spring semesters.
Academic break housingDuring Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, only a few residential complexes remain open. We recognize that some students cannot or choose not to travel away from campus during these break periods. Students interested in this option can preference academic break housing needs on their housing contract, but are not guaranteed a space in a specific residence hall. residents not living in break housing who would like to stay on campus must find residents of a break housing area willing to lend their room. There is an additional fee for break housing.
Minors Formall students who are under 18 when they complete their housing contract must also complete a housing contract consent form, which must be signed and submitted by a parent or guardian before the student can move in.
live-at-home request FormStudents who are able to live with a parent or guardian within a commutable distance from campus may want to live at home, and exceptions to their residency requirement will be considered. requests can be made using our live-at-home request form, and must be received by June 30. We do require a notarized statement from the parent or guardian for each academic year a student is required to live on campus.

Residence HallsWe house 5,000+ students on four campuses in ten residential complexes. Our complexes offer an assortment of single, double, and triple-occupancy rooms arranged in corridor and suite-style living.
Our residential communities support academic success and social and educational growth. residential complexes have study spaces, lounges, and kitchenettes where residents can collaborate on class projects, gather for residential programs, or prepare and share a meal together.
Every room is fully furnished with an extra-long twin bed (36”x 80”), a desk, a chair, and a dresser or wardrobe for each resident. Some people choose to loft their beds and many of the beds around campus can be lofted easily. residents of rooms without loftable beds can rent lofts from local vendors.
The main desk of each complex serves as a resource hub, where residents receive their mail and other deliveries, borrow recreational or cleaning equipment, and can find answers to all sorts of questions.
residential Technologyall student rooms are equipped with both wired and wireless Internet. Due to the popularity of cell phones, we do not have landline service in student rooms. however, all residence halls have at least one phone on each floor that residents are welcome to use to make outgoing local calls. To make long-distance calls, a pre-paid calling card is needed.
Accommodations for students with DisabilitiesresLife is committed to offering a home in our halls to students of all abilities and competencies. Our partnership with aCCESS (accommodation, Consultation, Collaboration, and Educational Support Services) exists so that all students can experience a barrier-free living and learning environment. Students who require a housing accommodation
should contact aCCESS upon acceptance to UVM. Comprehensive documentation is required for all requests and must be submitted by June 30 for consideration. Working together with aCCESS, we strive to accommodate all student requests.

Our residential communities support the educational mission of
the University by providing places to study and get together. The
social and educational programming in our halls demonstrates our
commitment to learning — both inside and outside the classroom.
Programmed Housing Options
residential learning CommunitiesLiving in a residential learning community (rLC) is a great choice for students interested in merging living and learning into one common setting. an rLC is a programmed housing option designed to integrate academic learning and community living, involving staff and faculty in the process. Living together with others who share common interests and ideals offers students the opportunity to become a part of something tied to the world outside the University.
The goals of rlCsEach community is designed to achieve the same goals: one, to make it possible for students who share common interests and ideals to live together in an environment where each student can feel part of a true community; and two, to engage the whole student by joining together in one place and in an intentional manner the intellectual, ethical, and social aspects of college life. In addition, each residential community works diligently to ‘leverage’ the opportunities it offers,
for students who wish to be part of a more intentionally designed community of learning, there is a range of programmed housing options, from residential learning communities and Living/Learning Center programs to special-interest housing. The College of arts and Sciences also offers their first-year students several residentially based programs.
by linking each of its students not only to his or her particular learning community but also to the larger world beyond the campus. In this way, students, faculty, and staff interact outside the classroom, the lab, or the office, joining campus learning with life experiences. This encourages the pursuit of knowledge as a lifetime activity.

Developing a respectful Community Living in a residence hall can be one of
the most rewarding aspects of the UVM
experience. Students may never again
come in contact with such a variety of
individuals in one community. residence
halls provide an opportunity for
students to develop an appreciation
for and understanding of differences
between themselves and others.
Community development begins during
the very first week of the semester
when ras hold floor meetings to
create community living agreements.
During these meetings, students
engage in conversation about the
value of making informed decisions
and taking responsibility for the
communities in which they live and
learn. The community living agreement
is meant to establish standards to
address issues such as noise, guests,
respect of common spaces, etc.

Dear Parents and Families:
UVM is excited to welcome your student, and also you, into our community. One of the great things about UVM is its connection to our wonderful host city, Burlington. Our students, during their time at UVM, become important and active members of the greater Burlington community, with all of the life, career, and social activities and opportunities that make it one of the best places to live and work in the U.S.a.
Burlington is a city of neighborhoods where students live side-by-side with families with young children, seniors, professionals, and working people. Students who live on campus will have many opportunities to go through these neighborhoods on their way to Church Street in downtown Burlington, the Waterfront, or other places in the City. as new students explore the City they are often unaware of their impact on their neighbors, from the noise coming from groups walking late at night to the disruptive behavior that is often fueled by alcohol use (yelling, public urination, littering, property destruction). Our off-campus students are also impacted by large groups of on-campus students looking for parties who are denied access and remain on the street where their noise level attracts
