THE OFFICE FOR CAMPUS LIFE

Guilford College, through the Office for Campus Life, operates residence halls, houses and apartments that house approximately 1100 students. Strict policies govern access to the halls, and students are encouraged to be responsible for their own safety and the safety of others. Students are asked to assist in maintaining the security of the residence halls by not propping doors open, by closing and locking first floor windows, by keeping individual room doors locked at all times and by informing Residence Life staff of any strangers seen in the buildings.

Programs

The Residence Life program at Guilford College is actively committed to promoting safety and security for students living on campus. Educational programs and written materials encourage an increased awareness of personal safety on campus.

• Educational programs are organized by the Residence Life staff throughout the year on various topics related to safety. Administrative staff, hall directors and resident advisers work in close cooperation with the Office of Public Safety to provide relevant and useful activities to enhance individual and community security and safety.
• Training for resident advisers and hall directors include campus public safety issues. Hall meetings provide a forum to provide residents with information and apprise them of situations which may arise.
• As a part of orientation, all new students attend a session on college dating, which includes information on acquaintance rape. Educational programs during the year involve both campus and Greensboro community resources and can be tailored to specific audience interests and issues. Please contact your resident adviser if you would like to have such a program in your area.
