American University has a strong commitment to the development of students, the promotion of civility, and the expectation that students will act responsibly.  Housing and Dining Programs supports & encourages the development of residential environments that compliment these goals.  Community standards have been established in the residence halls with a combination of the Student Conduct Code, specifically the Residence Hall Regulations, and the Housing License Agreement.  In addition, Housing and Dining Programs collaborates with Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution Services to ensure that residents live in an environment that enable them to achieve personal satisfaction and contribute to their community.
