Your Roommate & Community

Contacting your Roommate

Roommates are an exciting part of on-campus living. Having a roommate can enhance your college experience. We encourage you to reach out to your roommate(s) once you receive contact information. Online sources are a great way to start this conversation, but do not rely on online sources to tell you everything. When you introduce yourself, you can share your likes, dislikes, and your fall class schedule. This is an easy way to break the ice. You should also decide who is bringing what items to avoid having two refrigerators or two TVs!

Communication is Key

Conflicts are bound to occur, even in the best roommate relationships. Do not be afraid of conflict. Resolving conflicts can lead to a better relationship and a more harmonious environment. If problems between you and your roommate do arise, you may find it helpful to follow these steps:

Define the problem. Take turns stating what is bothering you, how you feel about the problem, and what you want.

Generate possible solutions. Once you agree on what the conflict is, take turns describing possible solutions.

Decide on a mutually acceptable solution(s). Come to an agreement on one or more of the solutions and commit to carrying them out. Can the solution work? Is it fair to both of you?

Implement the solution. Develop a plan of action to achieve the desired solution and set a time frame in which to implement it.

Evaluate the result. Determine whether everyone is satisfied with the solution. If there are still prob-lems, try to make necessary changes.

At the beginning of the semester, your RA will work with you to complete your roommate agreement to out-line boundaries and expectations via RoomPact. RoomPact is an interactive system where you can communi-cate with your RA. Keep an eye on your email to create an account. Remember, all roommates must be willing to compromise in order to find a viable solution. If a compromise seems impossible, don’t give up. An objec-tive third party may be needed for resolution. Your Resident Assistant or Residence Director is available to help. Please feel free to call on them!

Community Living

The foundation of living in a residence hall, apartment, or Greek community is respecting the rights of others. The eight actions identified below seriously infringe on the rights of other community members and will not be tolerated. Violators may be evicted from on-campus housing, with no refunds, and may also be subject to additional disciplinary action.

Actions which endanger the health and safety of other persons.

Providing a common source of alcohol in on-campus housing.

Intentional damage or destruction of University or Housing property.

Use or possession of explosives, firecrackers, firearms, explosive materials, or weapons of any kind in campus housing.

Sale, use, possession, or distribution of illegal drugs or narcotics. Marijuana and vaping is not permitted.

Throwing or dropping potentially dangerous objects out of windows.

Misusing or tampering with fire safety equipment: fire alarms, smoke detectors, extinguishers, etc.

Deliberately starting a fire in the residence halls, Greek facilities, or apartments.

Residential Polices As a student at Pacific, you are responsible for understanding and adhering to the Student Code of Conduct, University Policies, and Residential Policies. Failure to uphold these may result in removal from housing and/or impact your status as a student. These documents can be found online. Here are some of our policies:

Guest Policy

A “guest” is an individual who is not a resident of a particular room/apartment and who is present in a room/apartment at the invitation of a resident of that room/apartment. Students are permitted to have guests in their rooms subject to the following conditions: a. Overnight guests must have the approval of all residents of the room. b. Overnight guests may stay in a residential community for no more than three consecutive days and/or no

more than four times each semester/term. c. Students must register overnight guests who are not on-campus residents with Residential Life & Housing

prior to the guest’s arrival. d. No more than two concurrent overnight guests may stay in each room or apartment at any given time. e. Students are responsible for the conduct of all their guest(s). f. Guests will observe all University regulations and policies listed in Tiger Lore, and comply with the direc-

tions of all University employees. Any guest found in violation of any policy may be removed from the residential community and denied future visiting privileges.

Pet Policy

The only permitted pets on-campus are fish, housed in a tank no larger than five gallons. Residents who violate this policy are subject to a charge equal to the actual cost of cleaning the residence hall room, Greek house or entire apartment, plus a $300 per-pet administrative fee. Additionally, the resident will be directed to remove the pet. Failure to comply with a directive to remove a pet will subject the resident to eviction, an additional $1000 contract termination fee and referral to the Student Conduct & Community Standards office. Further, residents who violate this pet policy may be denied the opportunity to live on campus in the future.

Alcohol & Drug Policy

University policy requires that members of the Pacific community, including visitors and guests, comply with federal, state, and local laws especially those relating to alcoholic beverages, narcotics, and other drugs. University policy prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of alcohol and/or controlled substances on its property, or immediately adjacent thereto, as a part of any University-sponsored activity.
