Get support - Residence Life team

'Res' is simple, it's short for Resident and is the term we use to describe any students that live on campus while they study.

'Life' stands for Leadership, Independence, Friendship and Engagement, and the team will help you develop in all these areas. They also organise loads of events to have fun and meet new people – everything from formal balls and gigs to movie nights and barbecues.

Residential Leaders or RLs are the go-betweens for residents and management.

We choose RLs based on their leadership skills, their knowledge of problems faced by residents and their ability to help. They're role models. They'll lead by example and demonstrate how to behave and conduct yourself on campus.

RLs are ambassadors for their residence and Charles Sturt University. Each resident leader is responsible for a particular area, known as a dorm or block.

Residential Leaders have all been first-year students at some stage. They understand what it's like to be a new student, and the apprehension you may experience.

Speak to your RL if you have any kind of problem, whether it's to do with your studies, the residences or some other issue in your life that you need assistance with. They're not counsellors, but they know what service to refer you to. They're there to help.

If for any reason you can't reach out to the Res Life team for support contact Student Central or campus security for emergencies.
