Stockton Campus Housing

RAs are full-time students and leaders trained by professional housing staff and campus partners. An RA serves as the day‐to‐day contact person with residents and is responsible for building community on a floor or section, serving as a resource for residents, and communicating policies and regulations. RAs are first responders in student conflicts, crises, and emergencies. They are also role models who serve the needs of students by providing program opportunities, developing safe and comfortable residence hall communities, and helping students become acquainted with the campus, the community, and its resources.
 
Becoming an RA is a great way to get involved. RAs receive a scholarship that assists with room and board charges. To be considered for an RA position, you must have a 2.5 GPA and have at least a second-year class standing. For more details, contact rasearch@pacific.edu.

The Residence Hall Association plans educational, social, cultural, and recreational programming for all residential students. If you’re living on campus, you’re automatically a member of RHA. That includes your roommate and all of your friends who live in the halls.
 
RHA is a student-run organization sponsored by Residential Life and Housing. We are here to serve you as campus residents and ensure your voices are heard. Advocating for yourself, your experiences, and others and their experiences is a great way to participate in RHA. If you're looking for a way to get involved, we recommend getting connected to your community’s hall government as a first step.
 
Our RHA is affiliated with the Pacific Association of College and University Residence Halls (PACURH).

Our mission

As the Residence Hall Association of the University of the Pacific, our mission is to promote advocacy between university residents and administration, provide leadership opportunities through responsible campus collaboration and residential programming, network with other higher education institutions through national and regional conferences, and assist in building a diverse community. In other words, we want to make you feel at home when you are at Pacific. We also encourage you to learn something other than what you’re learning in the classroom. By offering the full opportunity of a residential life experience, you will grow as leaders, as followers, and as valuable people.

What is a hall government?

A hall government is a group of residents (like you!) from a specific community who work together throughout the year to plan events, provide programming, attend RHA meetings, and get sponsorship from RHA for events. They also act as a resource to you when you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Hall governments tend to have a president, treasurer, secretary, and marketing roles, but each hall government can choose to operate how it best suits their community and needs. Any resident can be part of their community's hall government. 
 
While in hall government, you help carry on traditional programs, such as broomball in Southwest or The Quad Olympics to name a few! But you also create new and exciting programs for your community like helping to design a community t-shirt to make lasting memories. We look forward to seeing you at hall government and RHA meetings and events.

What is a community?

A community is a building or group of buildings. It’s how Residential Life and Housing and RHA have organized and refer to the buildings on campus. You can live in a residence hall or apartment and be a part of a community. There are six different communities in total.
 

NRHH is most known for recognizing communities, faculty, staff, students, and programs through “Of the Months” awards or OTMS. Local award winners are submitted for regional and then national consideration within their category, which means the next national or regional winner could be YOU!
 
Membership to NRHH is restricted to 1 percent of the residents with a minimum of 26 units, 2.5 cumulative GPA, and two semesters at Pacific. If you have a question or comment, send an email to nrhhuop@gmail.com.

Public Safety and Residential Life and Housing have partnered up for our Pacific Community SAFE program. We believe in strong community relationships between our team, our Public Safety Department, and you. Each of our residence communities on campus will be paired up with a Public Safety liaison officer/sergeant for the year. These partnerships will allow officers to connect with you and Residential Life team members of each community while more effectively educating and ensuring your safety.
 
It is important that safety is taken seriously. It is your responsibility to:

• Follow the policies outlined in the Tiger Lore Student Code of Conduct.
• Adhere to the Student Housing Agreement.
• Follow directions given by Resident Assistants and professional staff.
• Not let people into buildings or parking area.
• Know who to notify in case or an emergency.
• Pay attention to basic safety skills.

You can also sign up through InsidePacific to receive emergency notifications from the university. You can include cell phone numbers and email addresses to receive text messages, voicemail, and/or emails in the event of a crisis.
