Rules and Regulation
Keiser University Latin American Campus is committed to forming mature professionals in a community environment. Our goal also for incoming students is to provide a university experience that encourages academic success and better integration into the life of the university. Therefore, full-time undergraduate students aged 16 to 17 must live in the university residence halls. If students turn 18 while living in the dorms, they are still required to live on campus until the end of that semester. Only students 18 years of age and above or students who reside with parents in the local area are permitted to live off-campus. In special circumstances, exceptions to this policy may be granted. These are considered on a case-by-case basis and the decision of the Student Life Department is final; therefore, there is no appeal process. Students who do not abide by this policy will not be allowed to register.
Living on campus at KULAC allows students to immerse themselves in an environment of community and to take full advantage of the many services and opportunities offered by the Center for Academic Excellence and the Student Life Department. Dormitory residents are able to live in an atmosphere of mutual respect and dignity and grow in the areas of academics, faith, community, and leadership through sharing in a family-like environment.
Resident Assistant Office
Every night, one male and one female Resident Assistant are on duty from 9 pm until midnight and on call from 7 am to provide basic security and ensure that the dormitories are quiet and conducive to community living. Resident Assistants are also available to assist students with questions and problems relative to dormitory problems and student life. The Director of Residence Life is available during the day.
Curfew Policy
Residents aged 17 and under are subject to an 8:00 p.m. curfew. To ensure compliance, security personnel maintain a registry of minor residents at the university gate to monitor entrance times and may require students to present identification or sign in upon arrival. Additionally, minors may be required to verify their presence on campus with a Resident Assistant at the curfew hour. All requests for special permissions or schedule adjustments must be reported to the Director of Residence Life by 5:00 p.m.
Students who fail to return by the appointed time or depart after curfew will receive a formal notice and must meet with the Director of Residence Life for the first occurrence. Any subsequent violations will be recorded as official infractions and are subject to further disciplinary penalties.
No Non-Residents Allowed!
Non-resident students are welcome to visit the residence halls provided they are accompanied by a resident host at the time of entry. All visitors must depart the dormitories by 10:00 p.m. to ensure the privacy and security of our residential community.
Resident Assistants (RAs)
Each dormitory floor has at least four RAs responsible for assisting and advising students, planning activities for resident students, and enforcing dormitory rules and regulations. The RAs on each dormitory floor reside in rooms marked with their names and titles. They have key sets to assist students whose rooms are locked. In the case of a medical problem, the Resident Assistants may accompany the student to the Health Clinic, where a First Aid Kit is available.
Students residing in the dormitory are expected to cooperate with the instructions of the RAs. If a RA observes a student failing to adhere to the rules and regulations specified in this Residence Life Manual, a verbal warning and/or written incident report will be issued to the student in question. Failure to respect the authority of the Residence Life team is considered a serious breach of the code of student conduct. It will result in disciplinary action, including fines and other measures detailed in the Student Handbook.
