Residence Life Philosophy for ResRulesResidence Life structures the Student Conduct Process and our Residence Rules andRegulations (ResRules) on three principles:1 ResRules are remedial in nature and are therefore designed to educate students ontheir responsibilities and the consequences of their actions.2 The safety and security of every student is the responsibility of everyone in theresidence community.3 Residence is a community that values mutual respect of the rights, responsibilities,dignity, wellbeing, and academic pursuits of all members.Goals of ResRulesC Encourage students to make safe, healthy andpositive choices and accept responsibility fortheir behaviour.C Provide a respectful, fair, and transparent peerbasedstudent conduct system.C Promote the safety and security of residenceand aid in the protection of personal andresidence property.4
