Residential Life

The University of Maine at Fort Kent has two co-educational residence halls, Crocker Hall and a new suite-style residence hall called "The Lodge", with a combined capacity of approximately 230 students. The Director of Student Services administers supervision of the halls.

The Director is assisted by the Assistant Director of Residential Life, the Assistant Director of Residential Life and Wellness, three Resident Assistant Supervisors and a staff of seven Resident Assistants. The Director and his/her staff work under the supervision of the Vice President for Administration in a cooperative effort to assist individual resident students and to maintain the quality of residence hall life.

UMFK has a long tradition as a residential university and has sought to provide comfortable and convenient campus housing for students. The University believes that education encompasses social and personal development, as well as intellectual growth, and strives to provide a supportive environment through its residence life programs.

Students enrolled in a course load of 12 or more credit hours may request the hall of their choice on a space available basis. Each hall is different and offers a unique living environment. Incoming students are assigned to rooms by the Residence Life staff. Residents are responsible for damage to their rooms, furniture or any part of the residence halls. The University is not responsible for lost property, and strongly discourages students from leaving valuable articles or money in their rooms. Rooms should be kept locked at all times.

It is important to remember that RESIDENTIAL HALLS ARE CLOSED during semester breaks and between the fall and spring semesters. Students must vacate the halls during these closings. It is important to make travel arrangements well in advance.
