STU.CA/RESIDENCE
WELCOME TO RESIDENCE You’ve been formally accepted to St. Thomas University, and I’d like to welcome you to your new home — STU Residence. You’re about to embark on an amazing adventure but the transition to university is a big change. Living in residence will make that change a lot easier: you’ll make lasting con- nections with new friends, develop a network of peers going through the same things, and receive support and guidance from our excep- tional staff. This guide is a resource for you (and your family) as you prepare for the big move. We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to your new home!

FOR STUDENTS Residence is more than just a place to live – it’s a place to meet new people, have new experiences, learn and have fun! We want you to feel comfortable in your new home and know all about the resources and supports STU has waiting for you! RESIDENCE LIFE STAFF There are different student leaders that live in your building that will provide resources, support and events throughout the academic year. There is a Residence Coordinator (RC) in each building, Resi- dence Advisors (RAs) for each wing and House Committee (HC) members that live in each building. Residence supervisors are full-time university staff in charge of fostering a positive living environ- ment and promoting academic and personal development for you and your fellow residents. Their responsibilities include policy/procedure administration, crisis intervention, student staff supervi- sion, programming facilitation and direction, and student leader mentoring. They also live in our residence buildings so they are available for questions and concerns! Students can visit the Residence Life Office (GMH 303) between 8:30 am-4:30 pm, Monday to Friday for any questions or concerns. WELCOME WEEK 2019 From Friday August 30th until Saturday September 7th, student staff, professional staff and volun- teers from across campus will be providing daily activities, events, workshops and off campus adven- tures to acquaint you with your new home! Wondering what to expect during Welcome Week? Keep up to date by joining the STU Welcome Week 2019 Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/welcomeweek2019/
FOR SUPPORTERS
We understand that family, friends and loved ones are a big part of the university experience and
transition into residence. We want your student to be successful just as much as you do! Together we
can work to ensure your student is supported while building their sense of independence. Our team
provides a variety of services to ensure all areas of growth are supported. To learn more about the
services your student will be able to access during their time with us, please visit:

KEEPING IN TOUCH
• It is important to have a discussion with your student prior to move-in on the best ways to
communicate with one another and expectations around frequency of communication. Some
families schedule out daily/weekly phone calls, chat throughout the day, text, etc.
• Decide what works best for you! It’s important to remember this may also change as students get
busy with academics and friends.
• While we have multiple residence buildings, all mail/packages sent to students must be addressed
as follows:
