In partnership with students, faculty, and the staff of other campus offices, we create a living/learning community environment that promotes respect for a diverse population, which is comfortable and safe, and supports the cultural, social, intellectual, physical and emotional development of UAA students. We provide active opportunities for residents to become empowered as community members and as evolving individuals who contribute to their own positive living/learning experience.

The Department of Residence Life is one of the largest student employers and activity centers on campus. You can become involved in student government, hall council, or work in one of our many student employment positions. We can provide you with the experience future employers seek.

The Department of Residence Life is committed to providing programs and services that create a community living environment in which mutual respect among all of its members is achieved. The opportunity to work and live with people of varying ages, ethnic backgrounds, abilities, sexual orientations, and religious affiliations helps strengthen our community. We recognize individual rights to cultural expression and encourage exploration of other traditions.

You are here to complete your academic goals, and we are here to provide resources, facilities, leadership opportunities and activities to help you be successful.

The Department of Residence Life provides programs and services that support group living in the residential community. Staff members communicate, interpret and help maintain community standards that are conducive to maintaining a positive living and learning environment. A positive group-living/learning environment requires clear communication of behavioral expectations and accountability measures so that all members of the community can be successful.
