Resident Assistants must be in good disciplinary standing, defined as not having an active sanction of judicial probation or higher as well as having no active sanctions from a case where they were found in violation of the Housing Contract and Rules & Regulations or the University Code of Conduct. Student conduct records for Clemson University, and Tri-County Technical College (where applicable), will be reviewed prior to and during the time of employment.

Time Away Policies and Outside Commitments

A Resident Assistant is first committed to their RA role and responsibilities. Additional time commitments such as significant leadership opportunities, academic engagements, and additional employment, are secondary to the RA position. Additional opportunities with extensive time commitments will have significant impact on an RA’s wellbeing and ability to balance responsibilities within the RA role. Examples of additional time commitments include: participation in a co-op, UPIC, federal work study, internship, student teaching experience, educational clinicals, 18+ credit hours, and/or significant leadership roles. First time RAs may not be allowed to have any additional time commitments. An RA must request permission in writing via the ‘Request for Additional Time Commitments Form’, and receive approval, in advance to engage in these commitments. All requests may not be granted.

Training and Operational Dates

Active participation in training and continued learning experiences is essential to a staff member’s success, and therefore, all training and continued learning experiences throughout the term of employment are mandatory. Resident Assistant Training begins on Monday, May 9, 2022. Additional dates can be found in the Operational Dates document.

Conduct and Policy Enforcements

Resident Assistants are subject to specific expectations that will be outlined in a staff member’s employment agreement, departmental and supervisor expectations, Housing Contract and Rules & Regulations, and the University Code of Conduct.

We believe an intentional residential experience is transformative. We believe that students will learn and grow in specific ways while living on-campus. Through facilitating the Residential Experience Model, Summer Resident Assistants will mentor Summer I & II and Summer Start residents to explore who they are, connect with others in the community, engage academically, and lead in meaningful ways.

Resident Assistants are subject to specific expectations that will be outlined in a staff member’s employment agreement, departmental and supervisor expectations, Housing Contract and Rules & Regulations, and the University Code of Conduct.
