All residents are encouraged to participate in various activities and opportunities within Residence Life. Students will have the opportunity to plan programs, participate in annual events, and to join the Residence Hall Association and the Peer Hearing Board on the McMinnville Campus.

All residents are responsible for the safety and security of themselves, their neighbors and the property. Residents will be issued keys to their room and their Student ID card will open the outside doors of the buildings. Students are encouraged to carry their key and Student ID at all time. Lost keys should be reported to the Resident Advisor immediately so that the lock can be changed.

Resident rights and responsibilities are spelled out in the Linfield Guide to Living and the Residence Life Contracts. All residents and visitors are responsible for knowing the policies of the University and for complying with them.
