No overnight guest of the opposite sex is permitted at any time in student housing.

All guests of the student should be the student's peers and friends.

Parents and other adults should not be invited to stay in College housing.

Guests are limited to three-day visits, and guests in the residence halls must be registered with the Resident Assistant.

Westminster does not offer any other guest housing.

3. How do I change my meal plan?

You must go to the Office of Student Life, Westminster Hall, Room 122,  to discuss the change to your meal plan. All incoming Freshman must be on the 19 meal plan.

4. How should I resolve a roommate conflict?

Speak directly to the person with whom you are having conflict.

Identify the area causing conflict for you and identify the options that will help the conflict be resolved.

Seek input from the person with whom you are in conflict to understand the conflict from his/her perspective and to hear his/her ideas about how to resolve the conflict.

Discuss solutions until all persons agree on understandable and attainable solutions that, to the best degree possible, will help all persons in conflict be resolved.

If the suggestions above have not worked, or you feel intimidated by the person(s) with whom you are in conflict, then seek out the help of a friend or staff member at the college (such as a Resident Assistant, Graduate Resident Adviser, or Resident Director) who can help you work toward resolving the conflict.

5.  How do I get involved?

Living in community works best when you are willing to initiate relationships with those around you.

In the process of getting to know people you live with and around, you will see areas that others may need your help and/or encouragement.

Seek ways to encourage and help others.

You may volunteer your time to help serve your peers in all residence halls through your Resident Assistant.

6. What do I bring?
We recommend you bring four sheets (extra long twin size), one pillow, two blankets, two pillow cases, wash cloths, hand towels and bath towels.

Sound Systems and Televisions

The use of sound systems and televisions is permitted in the college residence halls.  Their use may be denied if they are an annoyance to other residents.  The use of other musical instruments, such as trumpets, drums and electrical guitars, is prohibited at all times.  Students may practice their musical instruments in Champ Auditorium or in the Hunter Activity Center.
