Student Life

Residence Hall Association (RHA)
This student organization is made up of residents from each hall.  Its main purposes are to plan social and educational activities for students living in the halls and to address issues that are of concern to the community.  It also helps to plan traditional activities such as Li’l Sibs Weekend.
RHA provides an excellent opportunity for students to get involved in the residence halls.  All residents are welcome to attend meetings, which are held regularly, and offer input on decisions regarding the community.

National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH)
This national organization was founded in the spring of 2000.  It recognizes the top 1% of students living on-campus who are involved in the residence hall community.

Off-Campus Living
The Associate Dean of Students provides assistance to students who do not live in residence halls, whether they are commuting from home or renting an apartment or house.  Students living off campus can choose from a variety of meal plans through the university food service.

Conduct
Self-discipline is essential in the formation of character and in the orderly conduct of social affairs both within and outside the university.  Therefore, students are expected to conduct themselves as responsible members of society.  The disciplinary authority of the university is exercised by the Dean of Students and the appropriate disciplinary bodies.

Student Due Process
John Carroll University recognizes that students, as adult members of society, have the right to respect and consideration and to the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of speech, assembly, and association.  The university further recognizes the students’ rights within the institution to freedom of inquiry and to the reasonable use of the services and facilities of the university which are intended for their education.
In the interest of maintaining order on campus and guaranteeing the broadest range of freedom to each member of the community, rules limit certain activities and behavior which are harmful to the orderly operation of the institution and the pursuit of its legitimate goals.  All students are responsible for informing themselves about these rules, which are printed in the Community Standards Manual and are available on the John Carroll University website at www.jcu.edu/studentl.
