Resident students living on the Staten Island campus have the
unique opportunity of living in apartment style housing. The Office
of Residence Life is made up of several full-time and part-time administrators who are on
call 24-hours a day. The resident facility consists of garden-style
apartments in the Grymes Hill section of Staten Island. They are
adjacent to the Staten Island campus and are maintained by the
University Facilities Department and patrolled hourly by Public
Safety.
Housing Information
Currently, Residence Life leases 79 student apartments, with the
capacity to house 231 students. Just under half of all resident
students are freshmen, while the rest are sophomores and juniors
and a small number of seniors who select to remain in University
housing their last year. All first-year students are housed
in the Courtyard located on Arlo Road.
Each apartment is furnished with a bed,
desk, desk chair and dresser per student. Common furniture includes
a couch, coffee table, lounge chair, dining table and dining
chairs. Every apartment has a bathroom and full-service kitchen
complete with refrigerator, microwave and stove. We also have
11 reserved parking spots for rent which are located on Arlo Road.
In addition, a meal plan and wireless internet and cable connection
are provided in each apartment. To ensure that students are
involved and active, we offer special programming targeted to
resident students to enhance their college experience and create a
greater community feeling.
A calendar of events is posted monthly offering spiritual,
social, cultural, entertainment and educational events. The
Residence Life Office, which contains a community room equipped
with inviting and comfortable furniture, a 52” flat screen HDTV,
video games and a full kitchen, is open until 9 p.m., seven days a
week. The Residence Life Council (RLC) affords resident students a
significant opportunity to participate and effect change in the
community. Through the RLC, students can construct and participate
in social, educational and service programs that cater specifically
to the students residing in the Residence Life program and is an
excellent way for students to get involved on campus and develop
individual leadership skills.
Judicial Affairs
The Dean and Assistant Dean of Student Life act as the Judicial
Officers for the Staten Island campus and manage all non-academic
student discipline issues.
Other Services and Programs that Support
the Academic Mission
If for any reason a faculty member must miss a class, Student Life
urges faculty members not to cancel the class. Instead, “Don’t
Cancel That Class” offers interactive workshops, facilitated by
members of the student Life team. The workshops include, but are
not limited to, alcohol and other drug awareness, leadership
development, career planning and time management! The Office of
Student Life also provides Disabled Student Services for students
with disabilities defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act
Section 504). These services are designed to ensure that all
students are able to fully participate in the University’s programs
and activities. The goal is to improve the quality of the academic,
social and personal lives of the disabled members of our
community.
