About

Residential Education is responsible for building a sense of community and DePaul spirit, providing students with high-quality opportunities for engagement, responding to student crises, and managing the residential student conduct process. Residence directors (full-time, professional staff) and resident advisors (undergraduate students) live on campus and are available to assist students with their transition to college and to advocate on behalf of students.

If you’re looking for information regarding housing applications, billing, room assignments, cancellations, work orders, etc. please contact DePaul housing.

Residential Education creates inclusive communities that promote dignity, inspire learning and foster self-discovery.

Residential Education is dedicated to promoting the safety, wellbeing and holistic success of our residential students. We are committed to building inclusive, co-curricular learning communities that inspire self-authorship, encourage social responsibility, and teach residents to take seriously the perspective of others, in accordance with our university's urban, Vincentian heritage.

Students who participate in Residential Education programs will:

Demonstrate personal responsibility and respect for others in communities of which they are a part.
Demonstrate decision-making skills related to practical life situations.
Respect the perspective of others and contribute to creating an inclusive community.
Initiate a sense of belonging with the DePaul community.

Residential Education Values

Dignity & Social Justice: We value civil discourse, diverse perspectives, and the exploration and appreciation of all identities.

Development: We value personal and professional growth through learning outside of the classroom.

Community: We value relationship-building that promotes respect, accountability and inclusivity within our residential communities through social, informational and educational opportunities.

Holistic Wellness: We value multi-dimensional wellness, promoting continuous growth of self, and caring for others in the community.
