Welcome Welcome to Collin College Student Housing located at the Plano Campus. We are pleased you have chosen to make your home with us, and want your on-campus living experience to be an enriching part of your education. It is Collin College’s desire to provide the highest quality living environment possible for our student residents. Collin College’s goal is to provide a housing environment conducive to academic, social, cultural, and personal growth. Student residents will be provided with a variety of programs and activities intended to supplement and complement their in- class educational experiences. Student residents are an integral part of the student housing environment, which will be enhanced by each student resident’s presence and involvement. We cannot create your community – only student residents can do that. An understanding of, and respect for, the rights and interests of others is the key to making the resident life experience meaningful for everyone. Everyone in Collin College Student Housing shares the ownership and responsibility for taking an active role in the safety, security, and well-being of the community by assisting with maintaining the condition of the facilities and proactively taking action if there is a violation of community standards or Resident Life policies. This Resident Handbook will assist student residents with identifying the responsibilities of living on campus in order to create a positive living environment. It is designed to acquaint student residents with the benefits, necessary policies, and regulations regarding resident life. It is important for each student resident to thoroughly read this Resident Handbook, as it is part of the Resident Life Student Housing terms and conditions, and student residents will be responsible for understanding and adhering to its contents. While every effort has been made to create a comprehensive, accurate, and complete Resident Handbook, all information contained herein is subject to reasonable changes throughout the term of your agreement. Any changes to these policies and procedures will be effective and a part of the Collin College Student Housing Lease Agreement once they have been delivered to all student residents and/or posted in a public area of the community. Collin College is committed to compliance with all federal, state, and local fair housing and anti-discrimination laws. Collin College Student Housing rules are designed to provide for consistent and fair treatment of all student residents in the spirit of these laws.
