Graduate and Family Housing Consultation Opportunities

We value your feedback!

Campus Housing has several opportunities to educate residents and gather student input on the graduate housing residence experience.

Fall term

Safety walk

  • A physical walkthrough of all residence communities after dark
  • Examine sight lines, access control, general maintenance/trip hazards, and lighting to ensure we are proactively reducing crime/risk where students live.  

  • Residents are encouraged to attend along with Campus Housing staff, Special Constable Services, and the Safety Office  

  • Findings inform improvements in our residence communities

Budget Town Hall

  • Typically scheduled in mid-November 

  • Review of budget and proposed fees for the upcoming academic year   

  • Opportunity to discuss and ask questions with the Director of Campus Housing

Winter term

Advisory panels

  • Termly consulting panel where students give feedback regarding their experience, physical space, processes etc.   

  • Typically held in February

  • The panels are in-person meetings that follow an agenda determined by community concerns and other consultative opportunities (e.g., door knocking, town hall, and online submissions.)

  • Campus Housing staff plan and moderate the meeting while taking notes. Committee members are current residents.  

  • Meeting minutes are published and utilized to inform improvements.  

  • There are typically separate panels for family housing residents and graduate student residents.

Spring term

Door knocking campaigns

  • Door knocking typically occurs over several evenings in July, when students are more likely to be home.  

  • Campus Housing staff knock on community doors to obtain feedback on students' experience living on campus.
