Residence Halls



Accommodations

It is the policy of Coffeyville Community College to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), the Fair Housing Act, and other applicable federal laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability. Students seeking accommodations must self-identify with the Director of Academic Advising and Student Success Center

Housing Meetings

During the semester, certain floor and residence hall meetings will be designated as “mandatory” by the residence hall staff. Residents must attend mandatory meetings. Failure to attend these meetings will result in missing out on valuable information. Failure to attend mandatory meetings will result in one warning. A second offense will result in a “failure to attend a mandatory housing meeting” fine and/or community service.

Alcohol

Student use and possession of alcohol is prohibited in the Residence Halls. Possession found will result in community service, fines, and/or removal from the Residence Halls.

Breaks/Holidays

Students who wish to remain in the Residence Hall over holiday breaks and in between semesters must receive advance approval from the Director of Student Life. Students receiving approval will be charged the daily room rate.

  • Read and study in your room without undue disturbance.
  • Sleep without undue disturbance.
  • Expect each will respect the others personal belongings.
  • Live in a clean environment.

  • Be free from fear of intimidation and physical or emotional harm.
  • Refuse requests without having to feel guilty or selfish.

  • Have opinions, feelings, and needs be given respect and consideration.
