The Residential Life program at University Courtyard is one of the many reasons to live on-campus. Our staff is here to
both challenge and support our students on their journeys. Our staff offers over 360 events a year that give students
the opportunity to interact, have fun, learn and develop relationships.
It is our hope that you get involved with your community, succeed academically, and find opportunities to learn both in
and out of the classroom. Research indicates that students who live on-campus for even just one year are more likely to
complete their degrees in four years and achieve a higher grade point average than students who never live on-campus.
Our staff is here to help you be a successful student, have fun and enjoy the college experience.

Residence Halls Association (RHA) Leadership Class
RHA is our premier leadership group. Its members function
as a representative body of the residents at University
Courtyard. RHA tackles issues and concerns relating to our
students, always seeking to make on-campus residential
living even better. At the beginning of the spring semester we offer a
leadership class (RA 70) for residents of University
Courtyard. This 9-week, 2 unit class covers the foundations
of leadership, discussing and practicing the skills needed
to be a good leader. Although this class is required for
all of our Residential Life Staff positions, all students are
welcomed and encouraged to take the class.
