The mission of the Department of Housing and Residence Life is to provide residents with safe, inclusive housing communities that foster student success through innovative living and learning opportunities.
The Department of Housing and Residence Life will be the premier experience for residents to live, learn, and become tomorrow’s global citizens.
One of the best things about living on campus is the care and support that is available through our staff. They can help connect you to campus resources, point you in the right direction, and serve as a listening ear when you need it. Our residence life staff has been carefully selected and trained to make life on campus a pleasant and positive experience for you. Please don’t hesitate to ask us for assistance.
The role of the RA is to be a leader and mentor for the students living on campus at UCF. RAs do this through answering your questions about housing or the University, spending time getting to know you and your interests and by meeting with you 1:1 or in a small group setting. The RA has information to help solve your housing problems, knows what resources are available to you, and has experience with the academic system here at UCF. RAs are also responsible for administering and enforcing housing and university policies. If you have any situations or questions, feel free to contact your RA. Their contact information is available through your community. Visit our contact page for community contact numbers.
