Mission

The Residence Life & Student Conduct Office has, as its goal, to be an integral part of a student’s educational opportunities at Mercyhurst College; and to provide a living environment which enables each student to develop socially, culturally, physically, and emotionally as well as academically.

The Residence Life Program recognizes that learning extends well beyond the classroom and continues into the area in which students live. Students must, therefore, be aided in developing acceptable standards of behavior in living cooperatively with others, as well as respect for the rights, privileges and properties of all members of the community. Students are challenged to develop, explore, and clarify their individual values and foster in each a sense of unconditional acceptance of oneself. Students will be provided with ample opportunities to become involved with a wide range of activities in order to assist development of leadership skills. They will also be encouraged to participate as active members of their communities. Students should leave the Residence Life Program with the skills necessary to be productive, contributing members of society.
