Your Responsibilities

As a resident of Simpson College, there are certain responsibilities that you assume when you move into campus housing. Some fundamental responsibilities deserve emphasis and those are outlined below.

Responsibility for the Rules
The rules and regulations of the College and Residence Life are clearly spelled out in this Simpson College Residence Life Handbook and/or in the Simpson College Student Handbook. You are responsible for knowing these rules and for adhering to them at all times.

Responsibility for Attending Floor/House/Building Meetings
Floor/House/Building meetings are held at the beginning of each year and periodically as needed. Floor meetings are for your benefit and you are responsible for any and all information discussed there. If you are unable to attend a floor meeting, you should contact your CA, HA, SHC, or AC for clarification of anything missed.

Responsibility for Your Living Area
Along with your roommate(s), you are fully responsible for activities that occur in your room, apartment, or house. Even if you are not actively involved in a policy violation, you will be held responsible if you are present during such a violation, or if you give others access to your room. Therefore, you should always lock your room when you leave, even if for only a few moments. This will prevent others from committing violations in your room that can get you in trouble. Do not condone a violation by your presence. It is your responsibility to put an end to any violation that occurs in your room, and to call a CA, HA, SHC, AC or Security if you need assistance.

Responsibility for Your Guests
You are responsible for the conduct of your guests when they are present in your room, apartment, or building. Each year, cases of vandalism and policy violations occur as a result of visitors who lack respect for our housing. If you intend to have visitors or guests in the hall, be aware that YOU may be subject to disciplinary action because of THEIR behavior. Additionally, staff members reserve the right to ask any individual who is not a resident to leave the building at any time.

Responsibility to Staff
All members of the Simpson College community share the responsibility for governing their own conduct. Staff members, who, in the course of their duties, are confronted with violations of College policy, are obligated to report them. Employees are not expected to tolerate abuse in the performance of their duties, therefore the harassment or retaliation toward any Residence Life staff, Security personnel, custodian, or any other employee will result in disciplinary action. Students are expected to comply with all reasonable staff requests; failure to do so can result in disciplinary action.
