The Dean of Students coordinates all areas of residence hall management, including activities, staffing, and enforcement of campus policies.
RESIDENCY
McPherson College commits to offering on-campus residence. The residential campus encourages active involvement in and responsibility for the life of the college; it offers close proximity to faculty, library resources, labs, fine art studios, athletic and recreational facilities. The residential nature of the college fosters student, faculty and staff development in interpersonal communication skills and knowledge of self in relationship to others.
McPherson College has residential facilities that are designed for specific population groups. Dotzour Hall is co-ed, Metzler Hall houses male students, Bittinger Hall houses female students, and Morrison Hall houses male students.
All full-time students except those who are married and/or have dependents, or are at least 23 years of age on the official enrollment day for the academic year are expected to live on the McPherson College campus and participate in the college meal plan.
Exemptions may be granted in cases where persons do not meet the criteria, but extenuating circumstances are proven to exist. Written requests for exemption to the residency requirement need to be made by way of a letter to the Dean of Students. Requests must be received by the last class day of the semester prior to the semester in which the student desires to live off campus.
INTERTERM RESIDENCY
Interterm costs are included as part of a student’s fall semester fees. Residential students who are enrolled full-time during interterm are permitted to live in the residence halls and participate in the meal plan. Students who are not enrolled for interterm are not permitted to live in the residence halls and are not permitted to participate in the meal plan, and will not receive reimbursement for their meal plan. Students who are enrolled for interterm are permitted to live in the residence halls and participate in the meal plan only when their class is in session. Arrangements for reimbursement of the meal plan will be made for those students who attend ACCK classes or who are enrolled in a McPherson College course that includes an interterm trip. Students wishing to make these arrangements will need to contact the Dean of Students.
RESIDENCE HALL STAFF
Resident Directors (RDs) are staff who live in apartments in the residence halls. They are the persons primarily responsible for the daily operation of each hall. In addition, each hall has student staff known as Resident Assistants (RAs). The RA is a resource and program person who works with the residents on a daily basis. The RA rooms are marked on each floor.
