Residence Hall Descriptions

Our staff structure provides for one Residence Director (RD) in each building/complex who leads a team of student Resident Assistants (RA) and an Assistant Residence Director (ARD). The RD's role is that of educator, facilitator, helper, advisor, and friend. He or she gives a great deal of time to working with the RAs with whom you will most frequently have contact. Each residence hall is divided into units with student Resident Assistants as leaders in the halls. We hope that you will get to know the Residence Hall staff and that you will actively participate in the residence hall community here at TIU.

Trinity College believes that residence hall living fosters social and emotional development, so it is required that full-time students live on campus unless they meet one of the following criteria:

1. Those living with their parents
2. Seniors within 30 hours of graduation
3. Students having permanent live-in job situations
4. Students 21 years of age or older
5. Married students

Students living in Residence Halls are required to participate in one of the dining hall residential meal plans.

The college does not permit co-ed cohabitation off campus (coeds living in the same dwelling unit) at any time. All residential students must be full-time students, maintaining a schedule of at least 12 credit hours per semester. Any student who does not qualify to live off campus may submit a written request to the Director of Residence Life to be considered for off-campus approval.
