The Office of Residence Life
Residency Requirement:Many of our students say that living on our campus is one of the best parts of their college experience. We work hard to make each residence hall feel like its own community, and to make sure you feel like family. This is much more than where you sleep. It’s a place to hang out with friends. To finish your term paper, grab a tasty meal or throw on sweats and watch a movie. It’s a place to feel comfortable and safe. This is home.
Living on campus is a great way to get to know the college and other students. That’s why all of our full-time undergrads live on campus during freshman, sophomore, and junior years.
If you are a senior (by credit as of the first day of classes in the fall) or are at least 23 years old, you may live off campus if you complete the Off-Campus Residency Application.
AIC Housing AgreementThe AIC Housing Agreement is a document where all housing policies, processes, and procedures are published. Students agree to the terms of this document when they apply for housing, and it works much like a lease agreement or another contract. A PDF version of the housing agreement is available here, but a copy is also emailed to the student's AIC inbox after a housing application is submitted. Important information in this document includes, but is not limited to:
Students and any other folx supporting them should review this document prior to applying for housing or as soon as possible.
ROOM CHANGE REQUESTS:If a student is interested in changing their housing assignment, they can start the process by submitting a Room Change Request Form. When a form is received, a member of the Residence Life team will contact the student with opportunities available in the residence hall they are requesting. If the student does not qualify to live in the space they've requested, or if there are no beds to offer, alternative options will be made available.
HOUSING FREEZE:A "Housing Freeze" will be in effect for the beginning of each semester. During the housing freeze, no room changes will be granted or fulfilled. This is to allow students to settle and give their living situation the best opportunity to work as possible. Housing freezes are scheduled as follows:
Fall Term:August 1st to the second Friday of the fall term.
Spring Term:January 1st to the second Friday of the spring term.
During the housing freeze, roommates are required to complete the Roommate Agreement Form and the Roommate Cleaning Agreement and submit both documents to the Resident Director or Area Coordinator of their residence hall. Only "emergency room changes" where AIC Police or Severe Residence Life Intervention is needed, will be considered during the housing freeze.
CONSOLIDATION PROCESSAfter the first two weeks of the semester, the Office of Residence Life will reach out to students in double rooms without roommates. Those students are offered to either pull a roommate into their room, move into a room with a roommate, or buyout their room for the price of either a single buyout or a single due to vacancy. Single Buyout: A single buyout is offered to a student who either:a.) Is living in a double room without a roommate in the fall semester.b.) Is living in a double room without a roommate in the spring semester who had a roommate in the fall for less than 50% of the semester.c.) Is new to housing in the spring semester, but is in a double room without a roommate.Single Due to VacancyA single due to vacancy is offered to a student who is returning to their housing assignment in the spring term, but had a roommate for more than 50% of the fall semester. Single due to vacancy rates are NOT available in the fall term.
The Concerns Assessment, Referral, & Education (CARE) TeamThe CARE Team is a group of professionals from across the campus and across disciplines that reviews cases and implements timely interventions for student situations where student behavior raises concern. The goal is always to fashion a careful and appropriate outreach or intervention to students who are struggling in or outside the classroom and to monitor students in need. For further information or to report a student concern, please visit the CARE Team page.
The Conduct System: The function of our student conduct system is to safeguard student rights and provide adequate appellate processes. Our conduct system is educational in nature, and any students who are found responsible for violating established rules, practices, and procedures, or those whose conduct is contrary to the best interest of other students or the College will be held accountable. Students are reminded that they are expected at all times to conduct themselves, on and off campus, in a manner appropriate to an AIC student and in accord with the mission and philosophy of the College. Students are accountable for their actions and conduct. If a student is documented for violating a policy they will have an educational conduct meeting with a designated conduct officer, it is important to recognize that an educational meeting does not denote responsibility, each student receives due process.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)FERPA was designed to protect students and the release of their information related to being a student. FERPA prevents AIC from releasing certain information to family members without the student's consent. A student can submit a FERPA waiver if he or she would like information related to any or all of the categories below to be released to his or her parents/guardians.
Without a FERPA waiver on file, the following can only be discussed directly with the student:
