The Residence Life 

Mission Statement 

The Department of Residence Life is dedicated to supporting 

and encouraging the personal development and academic 

success of each student in our residential community 

through purposeful programs and services that complement 

that total educational experience at Winthrop University. 

The Department of Residence Life 

is committed to: 

* Establishing academic success communities that 

create and extend student learning opportunities 

beyond the classroom. 

* Fostering a residential community that values civility, 

integrity, an appreciation of differences and excellence. 

* Assessing and enhancing services that address the continuously 

changing needs of the residential environment. 

* Providing a professionally trained staff based upon 

student development theory. 

* Maintaining partnerships with campus colleagues that 

ensure the quality of residential living

INTRODUCTION 

As you will discover, Winthrop’s 

residence life program 

has real advantages – it’s designed 

with benefits that make 

living well and learning easier 

during your time here. 

All first- and second-year Winthrop 

students live on campus and have their 

choice of a variety of housing options. 

By living on campus, students have 

unique opportunities to establish lifelong 

friendships, to participate in exciting 

activities and to feel truly connected to 

the university. The added convenience 

of living close to classes, dining and 

support services, make on-campus 

living at Winthrop the ideal environment 

to live, learn and lead. 

CHECK OUT THE RESIDENCE LIFE ADVANTAGES: 

CONVENIENCE - Living close to classes and campus resources means not having to worry about finding a parking 

space if you are running late for class, picking up mail or meeting friends for lunch. 

NO HIDDEN COSTS - You don’t have to worry about paying monthly rent, utility, Internet and cable bills, purchasing 

furniture, securing maintenance services, laundry services or buying groceries. Your room and board (meal 

plan) are combined each semester and will not change during the academic year. 

THE POTENTIAL FOR BETTER GRADES - THE EXPERTS AGREE! Recent national research of college students 

shows that those who live on campus are more satisfied with their college experience, earn higher grade point 

averages and are more likely to graduate than their commuting peers. 

SUPPORT - Each residence hall has trained live-in staff consisting of a Resident Assistant (RA) on every floor and 

a full-time professional Residential Learning Coordinator (RLC) who is responsible for the building. These staff 

members are supervised by full-time professional Assistant Directors (AD) of Residence Life. The staff members 

work together as a team to assist you as you settle into college life.

COMMON QUESTIONS 

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT LIVING ON CAMPUS 

Q. Do I have to live on campus? 

A. Yes, all freshmen and sophomores 

have a two year commitment to live on 

campus. The establishment of University 

College and changes to the general 

education program have provided a 

framework that makes residential living 

an essential component of the Winthrop 

experience. Learning to live and learn 

with people from a variety of backgrounds 

and perspectives goes on both 

in and out of the classroom. The residential 

experience plays a large role in this 

growth. Winthrop students should be 

fully engaged as on-campus residents 

during their first two years. Exceptions 

to the freshman and sophomore residency 

may be made for married or nontraditional 

age freshmen and for those 

who continue to live with parents or 

guardians while commuting to campus 

from 50 or fewer miles away. Exemption 

forms may be found on our Web site, under 

Housing Forms. 

Q. What are my housing choices? 

A. Winthrop University has five residence 

halls and two apartment facilities. 

There are a variety of halls to fit 

any lifestyle. (Descriptions may be found 

in this booklet and by visiting www. 

winthrop.edu/reslife/ and clicking on 

Residence Halls.) While the style of living 

in the residence halls varies, all have air 

conditioning, high speed Internet access, 

Eagle Cinema (Winthrop’s free 

movie channel), free laundry and kitchen 

facilities. 

Q. What are Academic 

Success Communities? 

A. The Department of Residence Life in 

conjunction with University College, offers 

Academic Success Communities 

in the residence halls. An Academic 

Success Community is where students 

are housed with other students possessing 

similar academic and personal 

interests. Specific programs are designed 

around a floor’s theme and are 

presented by residence life staff, faculty 

partners and other academic partners 

as well as the resident students themselves. 

Please indicate your choice of an 

Academic Success Community on your 

housing Preference Form. 

Q. Where’s the food? 

A. Winthrop University offers a variety of 

dining options available to students. More 

information may be found in this booklet or 

by visiting: www.winthrop.edu/dining 

Q. Can I have visitors? 

A. Sure, you can have visitors; but they 

are required to follow the visitation/guest 

policy of the residence hall in which you 

live, which is available on our Web Site 

under Forms. All guests must be signed in 

at the hall office and escorted at all times 

by their host. Hosts are responsible for the 

behavior of their guests. 

Q. What about safety and security? 

A. The residence hall perimeter doors are 

locked at 8 p.m. and the main entrance 

doors at midnight. Students are free to 

come and go from their residence hall 

when they choose. Student Night Hosts 

help with entrance into the halls after they 

are locked and provide information and 

services to residents. All residence halls 

have outside door card access for after 

hours entrances. Winthrop University also 

has police officers commissioned by the 

State of South Carolina who patrol the 

campus 24 hours a day. 

Q. What can I bring with me? 

A. Please refer to page 14 for a list of items 

that are permitted and items that are not 

permitted. Also, check your Residence 

Hall contract. 

Q. What about my roommate? 

A. Meeting your roommate is one of 

the most anticipated events for college 

students. Your roommate can be someone 

you know or a person you have never 

met before. If you know someone you 

want to room with, you should notify the 

Department of Residence Life by providing 

their name and social security number on 

your Housing Preference Form (make sure 

your friend also lists your information on 

his or her preference form). If you do not 

have a roommate preference, someone 

will be selected for you based on the information 

you provide on your Housing 

Preference Form. 

If you are requesting a roommate, you 

should make sure that your Housing 

Preference Form and contract are complete 

and submitted to the Department 

of Residence Life as soon as possible. 

Priority is given based on the date that 

the Housing Preference Form and contract 

are received. While we will do our 

best to match you with your desired 

roommate, we cannot make guarantees. 

More information about living with a 

roommate will be provided with your 

housing assignment. 

Q. Do freshmen live in the same 

residence hall? 

A. Winthrop does not have any all-freshmen 

halls. The majority of new students 

are assigned to Margaret Nance, Wofford 

and Richardson. These residence 

halls provide the best opportunity for new 

students to meet and interact with each 

other, which makes the transition to college 

easier. We make every effort to assign 

freshmen together in rooms as long 

as we have empty rooms. When empty 

rooms are no longer available, freshmen 

are assigned with returning students 

who can “show you the ropes.” The earlier 

you complete your Housing Preference 

Form and contract, the better your 

chances of being assigned with a freshman 

roommate. 

Q. How are new student room 

assignments made? 

A. Each person who completes a preference 

form and a signed contract is placed 

on our housing list* in priority order by the 

date their paperwork is received. Please 

be aware that all returning students have 

already signed up for a space and often 

particular halls have few spaces for new 

students. While there is plenty of room 

available for anyone who is interested in 

living on campus, your room assignment 

may not necessarily be in the building you 

requested as your first choice. 

*Housing assignments are made 

without regard to race, color, creed 

or national origin.

DINING SERVICES 

Questions Continued 

Q. Can I make a room change? 

A. Room changes are made on a space-available basis after the 

first week of classes and must be approved by the Department of 

Residence Life. 

Q. Do I actually sign a contract? 

A. Yes! It’s important that you read your contract thoroughly before 

you sign or digitally sign it. Please pay special attention to the 

sections detailing your responsibilities, the refund and exemption 

deadlines and penalties. The contract you sign is for the entire 

academic year, and there are substantial financial penalties if you 

request a contract release. (Contract release and exemption forms 

may be found at: www.winthrop.edu/reslife/forms) Also please 

note that the residence hall and dining service contract does not 

cover times when classes are not in session. 

Q. Do I have to leave during breaks and holidays? 

A. During university breaks, students with valid reasons can stay 

in Lee Wicker and Richardson, but meals are not provided. The 

only holiday period that students won’t be housed on campus is 

from December commencement until the beginning of the spring 

semester. Roddey Hall and The Courtyard at Winthrop remain open 

during all university holidays and the summer. 

LEAVE YOUR QUARTERS AT HOME! 

The Department of Residence Life provides free laundry service to all on-campus residents. You will be 

provided full access to the laundry machines. Free laundry–another great Advantage of living on campus.
