An RA from your residence hall is on duty every night from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. the
following morning and can be found in the RA office, located on the first floor of each
residence hall. If you need to speak to the RA on duty, visit the RA office or call the RA office
telephone number. Hours vary based on the day (Friday–Wednesday, 7:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m., and
Thursday, 7:00 p.m.–2:00 a.m.). After RA office hours, your call to the RA office number will
be forwarded to the room of the RA on duty. If you would like to speak to a particular RA and
it is not an emergency, you can either knock on his or her room door or leave a message with
the RA on duty. However, all RAs are there to help, advise and refer you to the right place, so
feel free to speak with any one of these trained individuals. If the matter is urgent, you should
contact the Department of Public Safety and Transportation at 516.877.3607 or 3611.
Hall attendants, who are located in the lobby of each residence hall, register all visitors entering
the residence halls. Normally, HA hours are 6:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. when classes are in session,
but are subject to change. All visitors are required to present valid photo identification to the
HAs and be met by their host at the door.
