Life in the residence halls
is a rewarding experience, both
academically and socially. From
your first roommate to the friends
you will make across the entire
campus, you will find that there is
no shortage of people who share
your interests. Below are some
of the experiences students have
had with their roommates.
“I was nervous at first, because I didn’t
know my roommate. But we turned out
to have a lot in common—and maintain
being friends two years later!”
Hannah Cornwell
Nursing Major
Bison, KS
Matt Spurlock
Physics Education Major
Junction City, KS
“I was in a learning community my freshman year,
and while that assured some common interests
with my roommate, I still had no idea what she’d
be like. Though we weren’t attached at the hip, we
still hung out together and have some crazy stories
with each other and the residents on our floor.”
RHA student leaders attend a banquet
at the MACURH regional conference.
Hall Council
Each hall/complex has a hall
or community council
Promotes interaction and involvement in that community
Hosts community events, addresses student concerns, etc.
“I will never forget the late night talks my
roommate and I had. We didn’t know each
other before, but she became one of my
best friends and was always there for me.”
Liz McDowell
Photography Major
Leavenworth, KS
Residence Hall Association (RHA)
Representative organization for all students living on campus
Hosts many big events each semester

ALCOHOL
WEAPONS
All of the traditional residence halls are alcohol-free. Residents of the apartment communities who are of legal drinking age, as defined
by Kansas law, may possess and consume
alcohol in their own rooms or in the rooms
of other residents of legal drinking age. Such
beverages must be packaged in containers of
one liter or less in volume and represent appropriate levels of personal consumption.
Weapons and ammunition may not be kept in
individual rooms. Having/using weapons which
endanger health or safety of yourself or others
is sufficient cause for immediate dismissal from
the residence halls without financial release
and referral to the Assistant Vice President for
Student Affairs for further disciplinary review.
DRUGS
Each residential room has a smoke alarm. Each
building is equipped with a complete smoke
and fire alarm system. These devices exist for
the safety of all residents. Any tampering with
or misuse of these items is considered a serious
offense against the members of the residential
community. Offenders are subject to criminal
prosecution, significant fines ($250 minimum
fine), and severe disciplinary sanctions which
may include suspension.
Manufacturing, possessing, selling, transmitting, using or being party to any activities
involving an illegal drug, controlled substance,
or drug paraphernalia is a violation of university policy as well as a violation of the law. Suspected violations of this policy are reported to
University Police.
SMOKING/CANDLES
All residence halls are smoke-free. Smoking is
permitted outside the building in designated
parking lots only. Use of incense and/or open
flames in the residence halls is prohibited. Candle warmers are permitted and encouraged.
FIRE EQUIPMENT/ALARMS
PETS
For health and safety reasons, no pets of any
kind are allowed in residential communities,
with the exception of fish in aquariums up to
10 gallons in volume.
13
CONTRACT PERIOD
The standard residence hall contract is for both the fall and spring
semesters of any academic year.
Those wishing to stay during the
fall, winter or spring breaks will be
required to apply in advance and will be asked to provide additional documentation. Charges may apply for break periods. Eligible persons may request a onesemester-only contract; this request must be in writing at the time the contract
is initially submitted. The halls open for the fall semester on the Thursday prior to
the beginning of classes. They open for the spring semester on the Sunday prior to
the beginning of classes. For periods outside of contract dates, refer to vacation
period information in the Residential Life Handbook.
ROOM ASSIGNMENTS
The University reserves the right to make assignments and reassignments of accommodations. Individuals wishing to be roommates must request each other
at time of application. Single rooms are assigned on a space-available basis. If
a student requests a single room and one is not available, a double room will be
assigned and corresponding fees charged. Residents may request to be placed on
a waiting list for a single room. The university reserves the right to require single
occupants of double rooms to move in together. Refusal to move or to accept an
assigned roommate constitutes the intent to occupy a single room, and applicable
fees will begin immediately. Residents may request a room change; however, the
hall director must approve all changes, and the resident must make payment of
any requisite fees in advance. First-year students rarely get single rooms due to
lack of availability and typically live in the traditional residence halls.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT
Unmarried students who enroll within one year of the date they graduated from
high school are required to live in university residence halls for one year. Exceptions are made for students living in a sorority or a fraternity house, or in the home
of their parents or legal guardians (if within 60 miles of campus). Other exceptions
to this policy for extraordinary and compelling circumstances may be requested
by completing an Off-Campus Living Request with the Office of Residential Life.
VISITATION/GUESTS
Open visitation is allowed in all of the residence halls. Additionally, overnight guests
are welcome on an occasional basis. All guests must register in advance at the hall
front desk (or with the Apartment Manager if in an apartment). Overnight guests
must be of the same sex as the resident host, and may stay for no longer than
three consecutive days or eight total days per month unless special permission is
granted by the Hall Director. Guests must be escorted at all times, and residents
are responsible for the actions of their guests. Cohabitation is not allowed in Fort
Hays State University residence halls.
VACATION PERIODS
Residents must apply to stay in the halls during break periods. Only residents with
a valid reason (such as work, travel plans, etc.) and accompanying documentation
will be granted permission to stay during breaks.
14
A complete list of rules and policies can be found in our Terms of Contract
and our Residential Life Handbook, available at http://www.fhsu.edu/reslife
ACCESSIBILITY
Most students can be accommodated comfortably in a residence hall. If you have
specific questions about FHSU’s facilities, arrange a personal conference with a
Residential Life staff member prior to submitting a residence hall contract. Persons
with special needs or requirements should provide advance notice to the Office of
Residential Life and contact the Office of Student Disability Services.
EARLY ARRIVAL
A student participating in university-sponsored activities which may require early
arrival (athletics, band, leadership organizations, etc.) may check into a residence
hall early for no extra charge under these conditions: 1) check-in is no earlier than
one day prior to the beginning of the activity; 2) the student has previously submitted a contract for the coming term of study; 3) the student completes an Early
Move-In Request Form at least two weeks prior to the early check-in date and
arranges a check-in time; 4) the student is willing to accept an assignment on
a space-available basis for temporary accommodations, if necessary; and 5) the
requirement to report to campus is verified by the appropriate university department. A student may also request permission to check into a residence hall early
for personal reasons. Such a request may be granted at the discretion of the hall
director in accordance with the conditions given above. A student checking in
early for personal reasons will be charged a daily rate for the additional days of
occupancy.
PRIVACY
A student’s right to privacy will be respected consistent with the university’s primary compelling obligation to ensure the maintenance of an environment supportive of academic achievement and positive personal growth. The university reserves
the right for authorized personnel to enter a room for any purpose connected with
the maintenance, housekeeping and management of the facilities or for any other
purpose reasonably connected with the interest of the university or the welfare of
the student. The university reserves the right for authorized staff to enter the room
of a resident and to conduct a limited, reasonable search of the premises in situations where, in the judgment of the staff, the occupants of the room appear to be
exhibiting behavior indicative of an obvious and/or flagrant violation of hall and/or
university policy. Access to student rooms will not be granted to friends, relatives
or other students by the university staff without the expressed, written permission
of the resident of the room.
NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATION:
Fort Hays State University does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, religion, national origin, color, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disability or veteran status in its
educational programs, employment and all other activities. In addition, the university does not
discriminate on the basis of a person’s genetic information. FHSU is committed to an environment in which students, faculty, administrators and staff work together in an atmosphere free
from all forms of discrimination, harassment, exploitation and intimidation, including, but not
limited to, verbal, physical or written behavior directed toward or relating to an individual or
group on the basis of their protected class status.
Individuals who believe they have been discriminated against or harassed on the basis of their
protected class status or are victims of sexual harassment should report such acts to the university Equal Employment Opportunity Officer who will assist the grievant in seeking redress
through the appropriate procedure. The university’s Discrimination and Harassment Complaint
Procedure applies to grievances involving students, administrators, faculty or staff. The EEO
Officer may be contacted at 600 Park Street, Hays, KS 67601, 785-628-4033.
