Mission Statement

RESIDENT’S RIGHTS AND COURTESIES

Every successful residence hall depends on the residents understanding different lifestyles and respecting the rights of others listed below are rights and courtesies to help you, your roommate, and other hall residents adjust to the community living environment.

  • Residents have the right to study and sleep without interference, noise or distractions.
  • Residents have the right to personal privacy.
  • Residents have the right to live in a clean environment.
  • Residents have the right to have guests, but must take responsibility for their guest’s behavior.

  • Residents have the right to be treated as they want to be treated.


RESIDENT ASSISTANTS

All the residence halls have Resident Assistants (RAs) who are upper-class students. RAs at Tech play many different roles:

  • peer counselors,
  • resource people,
  • authority figures,
  • academic advisors,
  • educators,
  • programmers,
  • and administrators

RAs spend a significant amount of time getting to know students on an individual basis as well as working to bring residents together to create a positive floor and hall community. Your RA has not only experienced the day-to-day problems and anxieties that you may encounter as a student, but has been specially trained to help you handle them. RAs are there to help you adapt to your living and academic environment. They will guide you through the many issues that confront today's college student, such as academic difficulties, social life, and personal problems.

RAs also lead various activities that allow you an opportunity to meet and interact with other students at Tech. You will have many opportunities to take part in a variety of activities that will help you grow socially, academically and culturally. The RAs are committed to helping you to achieve the best college experience by keeping you connected to all the opportunities Tech and the surrounding community have to offer.

RAs are staff members of New Mexico Tech. Residents must comply with any reasonable request by the RA. Failure to do so could be a policy violation.

  • Double green light: the door is unlocked until you key the door twice. This feature is available only in the     personal rooms of the student apartments and other select locations.

During this time you need to go to the Registrar’s Office and purchase a new ID and have it encoded in the Residential Life Office as soon as possible. As soon as a new key/card is used to access a door, the old keycard will no longer work.

Lost Key (Mountain Springs and Guest House Residents Only)

If you lose your key please come to the residential life office right away. We will issue you a temp key. If your key cannot find your key within 48 hours after you have lost it, then your lock will be replaced and new keys will be made. A $100 will be charged to your account.

Responsibility of ID Card and/or Key

Students are not allowed to give their ID card or key to another individual. Allowing others to use your ID card or key compromises the safety and security of the residence halls and apartments. Residents allowing others to gain access to their room/apartment by this process may be evicted immediately from their housing.

Dining Room

All students on a meal plan will be required to use their Student ID to enter the dining room. Students entering the dining room will give their ID to the Chartwells staff to verify the ID matches the person entering, they will then swipe your card to verify you are on an active meal plan. If you do not have your ID, you will be required to get it before being allowed in the dining room.  You may swipe your ID card to treat guests, friends, and family to meals in the dining room, limited to eight meals per student per meal.

Students are asked to be conscientious that wasting food, removing dishes from the dining room, and vandalizing dining room property result in increased cost for everyone.  

Behavior that compromises the sanitation of the food service area and dining room will be addressed by food service management and/or Residential Life.

While recommended, it is not necessary for the student to be present at the time of the room inspection or repair of the room.

Failure to evacuate the building during a fire drill will result in discipline sanctions and possible legal prosecution.

Room Entry:

In case of emergency, or because of a (suspected) dangerous trespasser, or (suspected) violation or policy, staff members will knock and proclaim entry, but need not receive verbal permission before entering. If, in the mind of the staff member in charge, the danger is of sufficient magnitude, and if s/he is reasonably sure that the occupant or college property is in danger or laws are being broken the staff member then may enter the room.

Careless conduct, which creates an unnecessary risk of physical harm to self or others, or actions which disrupt the life of the academic and/or residential community, will not be tolerated.
