Policies & Procedures

American University has a strong commitment to the development of students, the promotion of civility, and the expectation that students will act responsibly. Housing & Residence Life (HRL) supports & encourages the development of residential environments that complement these goals.

Community standards have been established in the residence halls with a combination of the Student Conduct Code, specifically the Residence Hall Regulations, and the Housing License Agreement. In addition, HRL collaborates with the Office of Student Accountability and Restorative Practices to ensure that residents live in an environment that enable them to achieve personal satisfaction and contribute to their community.
