Welcome
Residential life has a rich tradition at the University of Notre Dame. The University provides opportunities for students to prepare themselves for constructive and responsible living by fostering an environment which recognizes and values the needs of both the individual and the larger community. Life in a residence hall allows students to become responsible community members through the process of intellectual, social, spiritual, and emotional maturation.
The Office of Residence Life and Housing (ORLH) oversees a number of tasks that influence residential life at Notre Dame. ORLH coordinates and assigns housing for all on-campus undergraduate and graduate students, as well as maintains the wait list for on-campus housing. ORLH also administers the summer housing assignments for all summer students and guests. The ORLH staff works cooperatively with other University departments throughout the year to ensure the physical maintenance and security of the residence halls. Also charged with administrating the University's disciplinary system, the ORLH staff publishes, distributes, and implements University policies and procedures that guide student behavior. The ORLH staff responds to all alleged violations of University policy that are referred by members of the University community. In cooperation with rectors, ORLH assists with the selection, supervision, and training of hall staff members; implements educational and social programming
initiatives; and serves as a training and information resource to the Student Government Judicial Council. Additionally, ORLH staff members provide assistance to students experiencing a wide variety of difficulties (e.g. family problems, sexual or discriminatory harassment, sexual assault, substance abuse, eating disorders) and refer students to support services on- or off-campus.
