We are pleased to have you here and want you to have an exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience.
This booklet contains important information about your living environment that we hope you will find useful throughout the academic year.
Living in a residential community, you will learn more about yourself and gain knowledge about the world around you. You will meet new people and develop long-lasting friendships. You will be exposed to new ways of sharing living spaces, personal belongings, meals, and conversations. These experiences will help form meaningful learning experiences throughout your development as a student, as a resident, and as a person. With your willingness to get involved and the help of our student staff, we will organize festivals, cultural events, ethnic dinners, dances, current-event forums, and much more.
As a campus resident, you will be submerged into a diverse atmosphere that will challenge you to grow as an individual and to become a member of our global community. Your experience will be demanding at times, but know that you’re here to make a difference and it’s up to you to take advantage of all that Whittier College has to offer.
The entire Residential Life staff is here to support and assist you. Your Resident Advisor, your Assistant Director, and I want to hear your ideas, thoughts, and feedback about our residential life program and how we can better address your needs.
Go beyond your comfort zone this year. Inspire yourself to grow through new ideas and knowledge. By getting to know residents from backgrounds different than your own, you will realize that people are more alike than different!
Please feel free to stop by Residential Life, located in the lower level of the Campus Center, and get to know all members of the Residential Life team. We hope that you will find your campus living experience to be rewarding.
Best wishes for a successful year!

LIVING WITH ROOMMATES
College life brings new experiences your way, the newest of which may be learning to live with an assigned roommate about whom you know little. Roommates need to share their thoughts and feelings while living together. Regardless of the extent of your acquaintance, both of you are new to the Poet campus and to residence hall living. The exciting challenge you face is creating a roommate relationship based upon respect for differences, as well as a commitment to clear communication to resolve problems, which may occasionally arise while living together. You should discuss your background, personal preferences and habits, how you express your feelings and emotions, your similarities, your differences, and what compromises each of you will need to make. Keep in mind there is no such thing as the perfect roommate. If you are open and honest with one another, you will be well on your way to establishing good communication and a rewarding relationship. It is important for all roommates to spend time together. Listen to and talk with each other and get the year off to a great start! Roommates will be asked to complete a Roommate Agreement at the beginning of the year. This agreement spells out each resident’s answers to the following questions.
1. What are your hobbies, interests, background and academic major?
2. What are your expectations for the year? (Discuss grades, career goals, communication with each other and other ideas).
3. What do you expect from your roommate? (Discuss housekeeping duties, cleanliness, messages, sharing of belongings).
4. What has concerned you about other roommate situations in which you have been involved?
5. What is your class schedule and how would you describe your ideal sleeping patterns?
6. How important is room cleanliness? How will we handle basic room keeping functions like emptying the trash and sweeping?
7. How do you feel about guests of both genders in the room and at what times are they permitted?
8. How do you study? Can you study with other people in the room? Describe the environment in which you study best.
9. What are your religious beliefs and some of your personal values?
10. How do you feel about drinking? What about drugs and their use?
6
Conflict
The Resident Advisor (RA) is prepared to work with concerns over roommate conflict. If problems surface, roommates should not hesitate to talk with their RA. Roommate issues and concerns do not often resolve themselves, and delayed discussions may lead to explosive problems that are more difficult to resolve. Roommates owe each other the courtesy of open and honest communication. Nothing can take the place of verbal communication. Please remember, there is no such thing as the perfect roommate. Relationships call for cooperation, civility, and, most of all, communication. If roommates strive to develop and maintain these values then living in a triple or double room can be a rewarding and fun experience for everyone involved. Many major conflict situations between roommates can be averted or lessened if roommates take the time to listen and talk through areas of concern as problems arise. Remember, this is a discussion and not a gripe session. Compromise is important. An essential part of an education at Whittier College is to appreciate, understand, and be able to interact with a variety of people. Roommates are individuals with likes and dislikes. These unique characteristics should be respected. Room Change
Room changes, which typically occur the third week of each semester, can be arranged with your designated Assistant Director. To allow roommates the time to get to know one another, no room changes will occur during the first two weeks of the semester.
Due to limited space, not all room change requests may be granted. All first-year students must remain in their academic links throughout the fall semester.
All moves must be completed by September 26. Checking Out
When it is time to check-out of your room, you are required to schedule a meeting with your RA. You must schedule this meeting at least 24 hours prior to checking out. At this time, you are expected to complete your Room Condition Inventory (RCI) form with your RA and return your room key. Failure to schedule/complete a check-out with your RA at least 24 hours in advance will result in a $100 fine. Please be aware that ADs will walk through your rooms after you check out with your RA. It is possible changes may occur on your RCI. Failure to return your room key, will result in a $125 charge.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE POLICIESThe Office of Residential Life has established the following policies to promote and maintain an atmosphere conducive to community living. All residents are responsible for knowing and adhering to these policies and regulations. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action as outlined in the Code of Students’ Rights and Responsibilities, found online at www.whittier.edu/studenthandbook. In addition to the expectations outlined in the Code, the following policies apply in Whittier College residence halls: A. Alcohol and Substance Abuse Free, confidential counseling for alcohol and other drug abuse issues is available to students through the Counseling Center and Student Health Services (Health Center). Other referral resources may include assessment, individual counseling, educational programs, materials, and case management through community agencies, all which might include a fee. Students exhibiting signs of excessive alcohol consumption will, at the College official’s discretion, be transported via Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for medical attention or be observed by a Poet Monitor at the student’s expense in order to ensure the student’s health and safety. Failure to comply with the request of EMS or the Poet Monitor may result in disciplinary action.

The respective student will be charged for a lock core change ($125) and necessary keys via their student account. All students living in the room will need to pick up their new keys from their respective AD or RA.
V. Search and Seizure For reasonable cause, as determined by an appropriate member of the Residential Life staff, the Dean of Students’ Office, or other officials as designated by the Dean of Students, a formal search of a residence hall room may be conducted if appropriate personnel believe one or more of the following conditions exist:
a. there is a suspected violation of College policy or illegal activity b. there is a serious threat to persons within the residence hall c. there is possible stolen property in the room d. there are possible illegal substances in the room e. there is a sick or injured individual in the room 11
General residence hall inspections may be held without prior notice to or consent from the student to ensure compliance with those rules and regulations. The College shall have the right of access to all rooms for the purpose of making routine or emergency repairs as necessary without prior notice to or consent from the student. A search of a student’s residence hall room by Campus Safety or College official may be conducted with the student’s permission or with authorization by the Dean of Students or designee. Whenever possible, searches of residence hall rooms and personal property shall be conducted in the presence of the student. However, the College reserves the right to inspect all rooms for the purpose of emergency, inventory, maintenance, health and safety checks, and policy enforcement. The College cannot prevent or prohibit the search of a students’ room or the College premises by law enforcement officers acting in the performance of their duty. In those cases, it is expected, that the ordinary requirements for lawful search will be followed.
W. Solicitation Any personal or commercial solicitation (including door-to-door and distribution of advertising circulars) within residence hall living or public areas is prohibited. Violators should be reported to the Assistant Director.
Public and common areas may be used by residents or official student organizations with prior approval for solicitation from the Assistant Director.
X. Telephone Hardware, Antennas, and Cable TV Splicing into existing television or telephone cables or outlets, wrapping TV cable, or otherwise adding to or tampering with telephone hardware, is prohibited. Residents are not permitted to set up exterior antenna systems.
Y. Theft of Property Please refer to the Whittier College Student Handbook, found online at www.whittier.edu/studenthandbook.
Z. Visitation and Room Guests At the beginning of the fall semester, each wing or floor will discuss and vote on a visitation plan for the residential area. Regardless of the agreed upon visitation plan, however, the following College guest policy remains in effect:
1. Residents are responsible for the behavior of their guests and must inform them of housing policies.
2. Only the assigned number of students plus two guests per present resident may occupy a room at one time. Guest visitation is limited to three consecutive days in a 30-day period.
3. All guests must be respectful of the rights and comfort of roommates at all times. If the behavior or frequency of overnight guests becomes a concern for a roommate, the problem will be swiftly addressed by Residential Life staff. The staff reserves the right to request that a guest leave a residence hall.
4. Male students and male guests must use the residence hall bathrooms designated for men. Female students and female guests must use the bathrooms designated for women.
12
AA. Windows and Window Screens Tampering or removing screens is prohibited. Residents will be billed for the repair or replacement of damaged screens. Students are prohibited from climbing in and out of residence hall windows.
BB. Recycling It is expected that you recycle everything possible. All items can be recycled in the same bin — glass, plastic, metal, paper, cardboard, etc. Please be sure to break down cardboard boxes before disposing of them. Please contact IT for disposing of e-waste.
Find more information about recycling at Whittier College online at www.whittier.edu/recyclingprogram.
CC. Littering Whittier College takes great pride in the beauty of our campus. Littering is strictly prohibited and a violation of College policy. Littering shall include, among other things, the throwing of debris such as cigarette butts, food wrappers, paper, cans, bottles or other trash on the ground. No student shall intentionally dispose of waste of any kind on College property except in receptacles provided for that purpose. Discarding of such will be seen as a violation of the College Littering Policy. The initial fine for littering will $25.00 with an assignment to a work detail supervised by Campus Safety for trash cleanup. Subsequent violations will go up in $25.00 increments along with additional trash pickup assignments.
DD. Smoking Whittier College is dedicated to providing and promoting a healthy, productive and sustainable environment for faculty, staff, students, visitors, contractors, vendors, and guests. Therefore, smoking and the use of tobacco products is limited to designated areas only. Smoking and the use of tobacco products except in designated areas is prohibited on all College-owned, -leased, and -controlled properties, including parking lots and at all College-sponsored activities. Smoking is prohibited in vehicles. Faculty, staff, and students are expected to observe smoking and tobacco polices of adjacent neighborhoods.
Designated Smoking Areas: Twelve outdoor areas have been designated for permitted tobacco use, identifiable with signage and smoking receptacles. These designated areas meet California law and advisories for tobacco usage in public space.
All faculty, staff, students, visitors, vendors, contractors, and any person coming onto campus and/or entering the buildings will be required to comply with this policy. Smoking materials must be extinguished prior to entering College property without exception, and must be disposed of appropriately prior to entering any Whittier College facility. Designated smoking areas at Whittier College are:
a. Between Memorial Chapel and Arnold Hall b. Hoover Hall patio-Painter side c. Between Redwood Kaplan Aspect and Stauffer Science Center d. Haverhill Road and Ball Hall (near stairway going to rear of Building) e. Ball Hall side patio (grass area) f. Wanberg parking lot g. Harris B&C (in between halls) h. Between Slade Aquatic Center and Graham Athletic Center (on Canyon Dr. sidewalk) i. Turner Hall (west side) j. Shannon Center (west side) k. Amphitheatre Parking lot (west side) l. Memorial Stadium Entrance n. North Lawn
13
EE. Hookahs Hookahs, single or multi-stemmed water pipes, that are used for smoking are permitted in designated smoking areas only. In accordance with state and federal drug laws, hookahs cannot be used to smoke marijuana or other illegal drugs. In accordance with the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities and the Federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, any owner of a hookah or student user who violates this policy is subject to sanctions under the Alcohol and Drug Sanction Matrix. All hookahs must be dissembled for storage in the residence halls and any other non-designated smoking area. Hookahs used in non-designated areas are subject to confiscation on the third violation by Campus Safety and may be returned at the end of the academic year. Any hookahs used to smoke illegal substances will be confiscated and will not be returned. Sanctions for improper or illegal use of hookahs are as follows: First Incident. Verbal warning; Second Incident. On-line smoking cessation education program & $25 fee; Third Incident. Participation in the decision making workshop at the Intercommunity Counseling Center and a $100 fee plus confiscation of hookah by Campus safety; Fourth Incident. Implementation of a behavioral contract, possibly including special conditions and up to 20 hours of community service and a $150 fine; and Fifth Incident. Referral to the Conduct Hearing Board for disciplinary action up to and including suspension.
FF. Don’t Feed the Animals Allowing wild animals access to human food and garbage can be deadly. Wild animals naturally fear people, keep a distance, and will not bother you, so long as they remain truly wild. But, if they have access to human food or garbage, they want more and that’s when conflict can occur. Please keep your residence hall rooms and the areas outside the halls clean and free from garbage and used-food containers to minimize issues. Please alert Campus Safety or the AD/RAs should you encounter any wildlife on campus property or near any residence hall. With a nature preserve nearby, the College will occasionally have wildlife visitors — most of whom quickly move on.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
Begin the fall semester with your computer in good shape with all the current software updates. If your computer has virus problems or damage left over from viruses, consider restoring it to the factory setting or having it re-setup. Be sure to backup your data before doing either of these options.
Antivirus Software
It is College policy that all computers have up-to-date antivirus software. Since viruses have become more sophisticated, it makes sense to have a good antivirus program. IT Services can give you Symantec Endpoint Protection for both PC and Macintosh. This program is free to you and does not need to have the subscription renewed. You can install this software yourself when you are on campus by browsing to its4.whittier.edu. It is important that you remove any other antivirus software and restart the computer before you install Symantec.
Flashdrives
Get two flash drives to store your data. Use one as main storage and back it up to the other flash drive periodically. All lab computers have USB ports on the front. Don’t leave important data on lab computers: files can be deleted at any time. In addition, your work can be left available for others to potentially copy.
