Abstract
The Department of Residence Life at Creighton University provides a class-year housing system designed to provide an exceptional opportunity for students to build community with one another. Each phase of living on campus at Creighton involves asking students intentional questions about themselves, their relationship to others, and as potential leaders within the community.
The Residential Student Competencies define the learning, growth, and development expected of residential students during their time living on campus. These competencies guide and direct the class-year programming structure of the Department of Residence Life.
Additionally, students are encouraged to use these competencies to create individual learning goals.
Within each competency, the department has identified Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels of competence.
The class-year housing system is purposeful in providing opportunities so that residents advance in their development across these levels,
as they move from the First-Year to Sophomore Residence Halls, then into upper division Apartment Communities.
