Residence Hall Handbook

Welcome to Residence Life at Massachusetts College of Art and Design! 

Please review all of the information provided in this web-based handbook, as you are accountable for knowing and understanding the information listed here. MassArt is committed to the principle that learning occurs both in and out of the classroom. The Housing and Residence Life staff strives to create a strong sense of commitment to the welfare of the group and responsibility to self and others. Please note that policies and regulations listed on this website are subject to change by the Office of Housing and Residence Life or other administrative departments at MassArt. 

MassArt does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, marital or parental status, or veteran status. 

This handbook is not intended to provide exclusive descriptions of inappropriate behavior, nor is there a way to cover every conceivable offense with a specific rule. Inappropriate conduct will be subject to disciplinary action, even if the conduct is not described specifically herein. 

Programs and activities in the residence halls are designed to help students meet each other and create opportunities for the exchange of divergent views and beliefs. The key to a successful residential experience is the willingness to get involved. You can have an impact on the direction of your residence hall and MassArt through your participation in activities. We hope that you make the most of this opportunity by accepting the challenge and responsibility of being an active and concerned resident.
