Introduction

The staff and employees at the Residence Halls strive to provide an environment favorable to those residents who embrace responsibility and community. Respect is the key word as student residents are expected to observe the rights of others; as well as to practice good hygiene and sanitary practices.Positive mannerism is expected of young adults. Equipment and basic facility accommodations are to be used and shared among all residents with great care and responsibility. Student residents are expected to behave themselves within acceptable standards of behavior; and, must take individual responsibility for their action(s).

In order to protect the health and safety of student residents, a set of rules have been developed by University of Guam Administration, Residence Hall staff and the representatives (i.e. Residence Hall Governing Council). Each resident is expected to know these rules and observe them. Applicants who cannot accept these rules or cannot extend consideration of others in a community living environment should re-asses their intentions before applying and submitting their Residence Halls applications. The Residence Halls at the University of Guam are by no means a luxury lodging facility and are not grand or upscale as some state-side dormitories. However, they do provide an excellent opportunity for those who are responsible and embrace community-living environments in a culturally diverse island setting.
