We are your Residence Life Staff!

Residence Hall Staff members strive to maintain a comfortable and educational environment for all FSU residents. They train together weeks before you arrive and work together throughout the year to make your living experience on the campus of Florida State University the best ever!

Student Staff
When you move in, look for your Resident Assistant (RA). RAs are full-time students and assist with individual and group concerns, plan programs, enforce housing policies and are “on-call” during evening and weekend hours. A Resident Assistant is available at most hall desks each from 8pm – 11pm in the evening.
Most hall offices are staffed 24 hours a day. Our student Receptionists work at the hall desk to assist visitors, check out recreational and cleaning equipment and answer the telephone. At 11 p.m. our student Night Staff make periodic checks of floors and exterior doors, help with emergencies and enforce policy. They are on duty in the hall office until 7 a.m.

Professional Staff
Residence Coordinators supervise larger halls and hall complexes. These live-in professionals assume responsibility for the total operation of a residence hall. They supervise staff, advise and counsel individuals and groups, coordinate hall programs and serve as hearing officers to students who break policy. Assistant Coordinators are full-time graduate students who assist the Residence Coordinators in ensuring the smooth operation of the residence halls. Smaller halls are supervised by Hall Directors. They also are full-time graduate students who are responsible for the total operation of the hall and supervise a smaller student staff.
Every residence hall has a Hall Manager. These full-time employees oversee custodial services and maintenance of the residence halls. They handle room repair requests, coordinate storage and conduct maintenance inspections of student rooms.
The Florida State University Police Department provides liaisons, also known as Adopt A C.O.P.P.s, to every residence hall community. These officers participate in staff functions and spend extra time in their hall doing security rounds and interacting with students.
