Residential Life Handbook

The Phoenix life is just more than academics. It is about having new experiences, about discovering new educational and social opportunities, and about stepping out on your own as an adult. It is as much about the way you live as the classes you take.

Living on campus will help you make the most of your Florida Poly experience. The Office of Housing & Residential Life plays an integral role in our students’ education and development. We support Florida Polytechnic University’s mission by providing services, policies and programs that enhance academic and social experiences in a safe, friendly, and challenging residential community. We feel that campus living combines the essential elements for a successful college experience. We believe that students who live on campus are stewards of our residential community and are encouraged to take responsibility for their success. There is a growing sense of shared community in our residence halls; a sense of living, learning, respect of each other, and of commitment to the community. We are excited for you to be a part of that!
