Living on Campus – the Best<br />
<strong>of</strong> Both Worlds<br />
Living at UA gives you the best <strong>of</strong> both worlds: students<br />
describe it as “the atmosphere <strong>of</strong> a small college with the facilities<br />
and programs <strong>of</strong> a large university.” Campus life is a great way to<br />
experience the unique UA culture and diversity. You’ll begin friendships<br />
that will last through your college years and beyond.<br />
Fun Activities<br />
So what can you do with your new friends? Activities range from live musical acts<br />
and comedians to road trips, Family Day and Hall Fest! UA’s Residence Hall Program<br />
Board (RHPB) — the student organization that programs activities for residence hall<br />
students — has been named the country’s top programming board, and has won<br />
several noteworthy awards, including the coveted Excellence in Programming Award<br />
(2010) and Campus <strong>of</strong> the Year (2010).<br />
Show Your Strengths<br />
Residence hall living gives everyone a chance to become a volunteer and leader.<br />
Opportunities include Residence Hall Council (RHC), Residence Hall Program<br />
Board (RHPB), National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH), Sigma Lambda (SL),<br />
hall government and special committees. Of note, NRHH is the proud six-time<br />
recipient <strong>of</strong> the National Chapter <strong>of</strong> the Year, most recently in 2010.<br />
Getting Good Grades Just Got Easier<br />
It’s not all play, <strong>of</strong> course. We make a commitment to your academic success!<br />
Living in the residence halls provides access to additional academic support and<br />
educational resources that may include computer labs, study tables or tutoring.<br />
Join a Living-Learning Community<br />
Surround yourself with people who share your passion in one <strong>of</strong> UA’s Living-Learning<br />
Communities. <strong>The</strong>se communities are proven to help students perform better in class,<br />
as well as build lifetime friendships.<br />
Meet Your New Family – the Residence Hall Staff<br />
Each hall is staffed 24/7 by pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and trained student employees. Resident<br />
assistants (RAs), graduate assistants (GAs) and residence life coordinators (RLCs)<br />
are good people to get to know. Your RA will help you make an easy transition<br />
to <strong>University</strong> life. RAs live on your floor, and an RA is on duty every evening from<br />
8 p.m. - 8 a.m. GAs oversee Living-Learning Communities, residence hall student<br />
organizations and the Academic Resource Center. Your RLC has a master’s degree<br />
in college student personnel, counseling or a related field and is responsible for<br />
your residence hall.<br />

Sisler-McFawn is a three story walk-up accommodating 38 females per floor.<br />
All rooms are occupied by two persons. <strong>The</strong>re is a resident assistant on every<br />

What are Living-Learning Communities?<br />
Living-Learning Communities are established to provide distinctive settings<br />
where student academic success is supported through residential experiences.<br />
Living-Learning Communities bring academics into the residence halls through<br />
on-site classes, advising and referral services, tutors and special opportunities to<br />
interact with faculty. <strong>The</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> our Living-Learning Communities is four-fold:<br />
» Provide special attention to first-year students while <strong>of</strong>fering mentoring<br />
opportunities to upperclassmen<br />
» Focus on academic achievement in a productive and supportive setting<br />
» Foster the joining <strong>of</strong> the scholarly and social aspects <strong>of</strong> student life<br />
» Promote collaboration among faculty, staff and students<br />
What are the benefits?<br />
Recent national studies have emphasized the unique potential for Living-Learning<br />
Communities to positively impact student success and retention. Not only do<br />
students perform better in class, but they feel more connected to their peers, the<br />
faculty and the <strong>University</strong>, and as a result, are more likely to return the next year.<br />
Likewise, Living-Learning Communities allow you to:<br />
» Access an enhanced residential experience through specialized programs<br />
» Experience increased faculty and staff contact outside the classroom<br />
» Experience greater academic support opportunities<br />
» Foster a greater connection to the <strong>University</strong><br />
» Build lifetime friendships<br />
How can I apply?<br />

Medical Stuff<br />
(Sounds Scary, But We Want To Keep You Safe)<br />
We want to help you stay healthy! Here’s information<br />
about meningitis and hepatitis B that Ohio law requires<br />
you to know. You’ll find more information at www.odh.state.oh.us.<br />
Meningococcal Disease<br />
Meningococcal bacteria can cause meningitis (inflammation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the lining <strong>of</strong> the brain and spinal cord) or sepsis (an<br />
infection <strong>of</strong> the bloodstream). Meningitis symptoms include<br />
stiff neck, headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, confusion and<br />
drowsiness. Symptoms <strong>of</strong> sepsis include fever, shock and<br />
coma. Every year about 2,600 people in the United States<br />
are infected with meningococcus through contact with an<br />
infected person. You’re at risk if you eat or sleep in the same<br />
place as an infected person. College students, particularly<br />
those in residence halls, have a slightly increased risk <strong>of</strong><br />
getting meningococcal disease.<br />
<strong>The</strong> good news: the meningococcal vaccine<br />
can prevent four types <strong>of</strong> the disease,<br />
including two <strong>of</strong> the three most common<br />
types in the United States.<br />
Hepatitis B<br />
<strong>The</strong> hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects the liver. It can cause a<br />
short-term illness that leads to loss <strong>of</strong> appetite, stomach<br />
pain, tiredness, diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice and pain in<br />
muscles and joints. It also can cause a long-term illness,<br />
which results in people carrying the virus for the rest <strong>of</strong> their<br />
lives and infecting other people. Chronic hepatitis B may<br />
cause liver damage, liver cancer and even death. Each<br />
year, 80,000 people in the United States, mostly young<br />
adults, are infected with HBV. <strong>The</strong> virus is spread through<br />
contact with blood or other body fluids <strong>of</strong> an infected<br />
person. You can catch the virus through unprotected sex, or<br />
sharing drug needles or personal items such as razors and<br />
toothbrushes with an infected person.<br />
That’s it for the scary stuff. Now for the<br />
good part: the hepatitis B vaccine can<br />
prevent HBV infection.<br />
Both vaccines are available at most physicians’ <strong>of</strong>fices. You’ll<br />
find more details about these vaccines at www.cdc.gov/<br />
vaccines/pubs/vis/default.htm<br />
<strong>The</strong> Official Version<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ohio Revised Code (ORC) Section 1713.55 states<br />
that beginning with the academic year that commences<br />
on or after July 1, 2005, an institution <strong>of</strong> higher education<br />
shall not permit a student to reside in on-campus housing<br />
unless the student (or parent if the student is younger than<br />
18 years <strong>of</strong> age) discloses whether the student has been<br />
vaccinated against meningococcal disease and hepatitis<br />
B by submitting a meningitis and hepatitis B vaccination<br />
disclosure statement.<br />
ORC Section 3701.133 states that the Ohio Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Health (ODH) shall make available on its Web site<br />
information about meningitis and hepatitis B, the<br />
risks associated with the diseases and the availability and<br />
effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the vaccines. ODH shall also make available<br />
on its Web site, in a format suitable for downloading, a<br />
meningitis and hepatitis B vaccination status statement form<br />
that complies with the guidelines outlined in ORC Section<br />
3701.133 (B).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Plain English Version<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> the online application, you will be required to<br />
submit information about your vaccinations related to<br />
Hepatitis B and Meningococcal. If you have not had the<br />
vaccinations, simply enter "no" is those fields. For your<br />
convenience, we have provided links within the application<br />
for you to review for additional information.<br />
