Live-In Staff

At San Diego State University, there are many professional and student live-in staff members available to assist and guide students living in the residential communities.

Community assistants (CAs) are full-time SDSU students who have had intensive training on various issues that affect upper-class students (sophomores and above). CAs serve as facilitators for community building and are available to listen to your concerns and help you seek additional help when necessary. CAs are also responsible for bringing inappropriate conduct to a resident’s attention.

Community interns (CIs) are the student staff members of the management office responsible for assisting you with customer service, leasing information, general property information, processing mail, work orders, maintenance concerns and enforcing expectations related to policies and procedures.

Desk assistants/security monitors are the front desk student staff members responsible for assisting you with customer service, monitoring the security of the building, disseminating information and equipment and enforcing expectations related to safety procedures.

General advisors and retention specialists (GARS) work inside the residential communities and provide academic advising and retention programs for students living on campus. 

Residence hall coordinators (RHCs) are full-time, master-level professionals who live in the residential communities. The RHCs work with building staff and residents to provide a link to all university resources and to assist in developing a positive residential community. Every RHC supervises the resident advisors/community assistants who live on every floor of the community. The RHCs also advise the hall/community council, maintain community security, meet with students regarding student conduct issues and coordinate activities and programs.

Resident advisors (RAs) are full-time SDSU students who have had intensive training on a variety of issues college-age students encounter on a daily basis. RAs live on each floor of the residential communities and are available to listen to your concerns and help you seek additional help when necessary. In addition, RAs serve as facilitators for community building and regularly plan programs.

Faculty-in-residence serve as liaisons between SDSU faculty and students. These SDSU faculty members live in apartments located within the campus residential communities. They work closely and cooperatively with the residential staff. Together, they develop academic communities and meet the needs of residents by encouraging their intellectual stimulation and academic success.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is provided throughout the residential communities and on campus. A team of dedicated Residential Connection (RezCon) staff members are available to provide computer support for students. RezCon services include troubleshooting internet connections, software installation, virus removal and more.

Safety and Security

Student safety is our top priority. Below are some safety and security measures we have in place to protect our residents. Additional information can be found in the Safety and Emergency Procedures section of the Guide to Community Living.

  • All residents must utilize their SDSUcard to access the front doors and gates of their residential community.
  • First-year residents must present their SDSUcard and/or building identification to the front desk staff every time they enter their residential community. All residents must present their SDSUcard if asked by a university official.
  • Guest policies strictly enforced in the residential communities.
  • 24/7 front desk operations in first-year communities and some sophomore and upper division communities. Front desk hours in our apartment communities are 10 a.m.–7 p.m.
  • Resident advisors and community assistants are on duty daily from 7 p.m.–7 a.m. for emergency needs.
  • Desk assistants/security monitors staff the community front desks to provide assistance to residents, monitor the security of the building and communicate expectations related to safety procedures.
  • All rooms, suites and apartments are subject to regular safety and maintenance inspections.
  • All first-floor rooms have university-provided window/door security screens for the security of residents. 
  • Fire alarm systems in the residential communities are reliable and use state-of-the-art technology. The campus fire alarm network is monitored by University Police.
  • Security cameras monitor indoor and outdoor communal areas. 

  • The San Diego State University Police Department (UPD) provides 24/7 policing services for the campus community, which includes campus residential properties. 
  • UPD has a designated residential housing officer (RHO) to serve as a liaison between the police department and residential housing community. The purpose of the RHO is to identify crime prevention methods tailored to the residential community, engage residential community members through educational events and training and collaboratively identify solutions for safety-related concerns and trends. 
  • UPD works hard to ensure that residents are aware of safety issues that may affect them. SDSU has established a text notification system that is capable of sending text (also known as SMS) and email messages in the event of a campus-wide emergency or health and safety concern. 
  • Additionally, the university launched the SDSU Safe App, a new, free phone app to promote and address personal safety on and off campus. SDSU Safe is available for download on Apple and Android devices. 
  • UPD has a Crime Prevention Programs webpage dedicated to information about emergency and non-emergency contacts, a safety-scenario guide and safety tips. 

In accordance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act, the SDSU Annual Fire Safety Report contains information about fire safety policies, practices and statistics in on-campus housing facilities. PDF

Lithium-Ion Battery Safety
Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in everyday items such as smartphones, laptops and portable battery packs. While these batteries are efficient and compact, they can pose serious safety risks when damaged, misused or improperly charged.

  • Stay Alert for Warning Signs: Discontinue use or charging of any lithium-ion battery if you notice unusual smells, overheating, physical changes like swelling or leaking, performance problems or physical damage.
  • Follow Battery Safety Tips: Only purchase products that are certified by recognized safety standards (such as UL certification). Always use the original charger provided by the manufacturer or one that is compatible in voltage and amperage. Avoid overcharging by unplugging your device once it’s fully charged, and never leave devices unattended while charging.
  • Be Aware of Environmental Factors: Lithium-ion batteries should not be charged in extreme temperatures. Avoid charging below 32°F or above 105°F
  • Follow Proper Battery Disposal Guidelines: Never discard lithium-ion batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins, as they contain hazardous materials and must be recycled properly. Residents may drop off used batteries at their community front desks for proper disposal.

Surfboard Storage

Surfboard storage is available to on-campus residents at no additional charge. You may submit interest in a surfboard locker via the Surfboard Storage Form. Due to limited availability, surfboard lockers will be assigned by lottery. Surfboards may also be stored in rooms.
