It is not only where you paid your commitment deposit to USD, but is also where you will go to register for classes, pay your bill, check your grades and conduct much of your academic and financial business. Throughout your years at USD, you will see different tabs and have access to different information, so it is a good idea to get in the habit of checking the portal regularly.

FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE

FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE Living Learning Communities All first-year students will be in a Living Learning Community (LLC). Not only do LLCs ease your academic and social transition to USD, they expand your intellectual curiosity beyond the classroom, and establish an immediate sense of community with your faculty, fellow residents and current students, such as RAs (resident assistants) and SAs (scholastic assistants) who will serve as mentors to you. The LLC experience has two main pillars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your first-year residential experience and your LLC course. Students with common interests take classes together and live near one another, sharing a supercharged college experience where academics meld with exciting extracurricular activities and community engagement. Each LLC theme is tied together with our changemaking mission and aims to give students tools to address the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urgent challenges.

LLC Courses An LLC course combines aspects of a first-year seminar course and academic advising with a regular class. Your Fall LLC course is linked to your Living Learning Community theme and is limited to about 20 first-year students. This course size makes them about one-half the size of a regular first-year class. Your Spring LLC course is also linked to your Living Learning Community theme and focuses on helping you learn how to integrate concepts across the curriculum. This course also will fulfill your First-Year integration requirement for your CORE curriculum.

LLC Themes for 2018-19 Academic Year Advocate An advocate welcomes all. We advocate for the equitable opportunities for all members of our community. We advocate for our experiences and identities, and recognize the importance of awareness and action. Collaborate A collaborator pursues and values partnerships. We get out in the community and learn from one another, activating communication and participation in both our local and global communities. Commuters are encouraged to select this theme. Cultivate A cultivator protects the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resources. We sustain our environment and take pride in being a keeper of the earth and its inhabitants. We work to conserve. Commuters are encouraged to select this theme. Innovate An innovator approaches a problem with creativity and resolve. We practice entrepreneurship that leads to positive change in the community. We let our compassion drive our curiosity. Illuminate An illuminator sees connections. We adapt to our ever-changing world, using scholarship and knowledge as tools to inspire new ways of being. All honors students live in this LLC, allowing them to connect early on and build a sense of community.

FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE People to Know During Your First Year LLC Faculty A Fall LLC faculty member is the professor teaching your Fall LLC course. In addition, this professor serves as your academic advisor until you declare a major. Scholastic Assistants Scholastic assistants (SAs) are successful continuing students who serve as academic mentors for first-year students. They are assigned to, and responsible for, a particular Fall LLC course. Resident Assistants Resident assistants (RAs) are continuing students who live in your residence hall and facilitate your transition to USD and serve as a resource for your first year. Community Director Community directors (CDs) are full-time staff who live and work in each of the residential communities. Your CD supervises the RAs and works with the LLC faculty and PAs to create events. CDs are also excellent resources for assisting with any challenges you may be facing from academic concerns to learning to live with a new roommate. Resident Ministers There is one resident minister (RM) for each residence hall. RMs make connections between Residential Life and University Ministry. Resident ministers are your allies and confidants, available to answer questions about everything from faith and spirituality to stress, relationships and decision-making. University Ministry Resident Assistant Each RA staff has one University Ministry RA (UMRA). This RA works with the resident minister to host weekly faith sharing groups and serves as a resource for students who want to learn more about mission and ministry at USD. 14

Selecting Your LLC You will be asked to prioritize your top LLC course on your First-Year Advising Questionnaire (available Monday, May 15, at 8 a.m.) on your MySanDiego portal. Tips for choosing your LLC course: • Visit sandiego.edu/llc and read about each theme. • Think broadly about your passions. When reviewing the theme descriptions, which ones intrigue you? Which ones do you feel connected to? • Review the list of Fall LLC courses linked to each LLC theme. This course does not have to fit into your major or minor. All LLC courses fulfill general education (CORE) requirements, so choose courses, topics or disciplines that you want to explore further. Your LLC placement will be sent out mid-July, along with your housing placement. Keep an eye on your inbox for the email!

Living Learning Community Life Ask any current Torero resident or the scores of alumni who once called Alcalá Park home, and they will tell you their number one reason for living on campus is/was the sense of community that comes from living among their peers. Nothing can compare to the fun and excitement of living in an environment where the learning never stops and lasting memories are waiting to be made. In order to help you make a seamless transition to college life and community living, each first-year residence has live-in professional community directors, resident ministers and undergraduate resident assistants who are committed to helping you maximize your on-campus living experience.

FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE

First-year students will be placed in one of the following residence hall areas: Camino/Founders Camino Hall houses the Illuminate and Cultivate LLCs.

Their unique designs provide most rooms with a view of the beautifully landscaped courtyards, and are adjacent to the newly renovated Colachis Plaza. Residents share communal bathrooms with individual Johnny Squares, assigned sinks, for each room. The rooms accommodate two (limited), three or four residents. Maher Maher houses the Collaborate LLC. Located at the center of campus and adjacent to the beautiful Plaza de San Diego, Maher Hall provides student housing on the top three stories of the building. Coed by wing, all Maher rooms have private baths and accommodate two (very limited), three or four residents. Missions A Missions A houses the Advocate LLC. Coed by floor, the Missions A complex offers suite-style living, in which each floor consists of a semiprivate shower and bathroom, with furnished lounges. Each suite has eight residents living in either single or double bedrooms. Each suite has its own common room and two bathrooms to be shared by the eight residents of the suite. Missions B Missions B houses the Innovate LLC. The Missions B complex consists of four three-story buildings (San Luis, San Juan, San Miguel and San Rafael) that offer single- and doubleoccupancy bedrooms. Each floor provides residents with two communal bathroom areas and two lounges. For more information on first-year housing, contact the Office of Residential Life. housing@sandiego.edu (619) 260-4777

Roommate Agreements During OLÉ! Weekend, RAs will help all new residents work with their roommates to complete a roommate agreement. The agreements are a set of standards outlining how students can successfully share their living environment.

Housing and Room Assignments Complete the housing application (available May 16 at 10 a.m.). The application must be completed by June 1! Note: You will not be able to pick your roommate or housing assignment. Housing assignments and roommate information will be emailed to incoming students in late July. This email will include very important information with full instructions for the move-in process including traffic patterns, parking and other logistics designed to make your arrival and move-in a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Hall Council Each residence hall features a hall council composed of residents in the area. Hall council representatives are selected early in the fall semester. The council works collaboratively with the community director, LLC faculty and resident assistants to plan events for the community. Hall councils also work with the residential senator from Associated Students and Residential Life staff to advocate for community needs. Hall council events have included fall festivals, formals and holiday parties. Other hall council initiatives have brought about facility improvements, such as the installation of water filtration stations in residence halls.

Commuter Student LLC Experience Commuters participate in LLCs, too! We have identified Collaborate and Cultivate as the two themes that we suggest you choose from. Each of these themes provides you with access to an RA, common space in the residence hall of your theme and the ability to connect with residential classmates.

To remove this charge, you can waive coverage if you already have other insurance. If you do not have coverage, you need to either enroll in USD’s plan or in another plan, and then continue with the waiver process.

Safety Your safety is our top priority. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) supports the mission and goals of the University of San Diego by providing a full range of community-oriented crime prevention and crime-control services to contribute to the safety and security of the campus community. Public safety officers are responsible for a wide range of activities, including developing crime prevention programs, taking crime and accident reports, conducting investigations, responding to medical and fire emergencies, providing parking and traffic control, and enforcing certain local and state laws, as well as rules developed by the university to address campus-related concerns. The Department of Public Safety is located in the Hughes Administration Center, Room 150.

Reporting Everyone at USD has a role in providing a safe environment in support of the academic excellence for which we strive. The university thoroughly evaluates the security needs of the community and continues to consider these needs on an ongoing basis. Together, we must take personal responsibility for our own safety, as well as the safety of those around us. USD community members are strongly encouraged to report all crimes, suspicious activity and safety-related incidents to the Department of Public Safety. Working together, we will continue to keep USD a safe campus for all. This is not a job that we can do alone. Your help is essential.

WELLNESS AND SAFETY u To report an emergency: • Any emergency should be reported directly to the Department of Public Safety. • Call (619) 260-2222 (ext. 2222 from any on-campus phone) 24 hours a day.

Family Education Rights and Privacy Act

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects your private information regarding your education. In order for anyone — parents, guardians, spouses or other family members — to have access to your information, you must first provide official approval. It is easy to do but, without this, the university will not be able to share information about your grades, courses, bills or any other information with anyone but you.

Safety Escort Service

You also need to add a start and end date for each person. ūū On the Authorization tab, click on the items for which you are providing access. This must be done for each authorized user. • When you are finished, each user will receive an email with instructions on how to set up the account in order to receive the approved information.

u To report an incident (nonemergency): • Call (619) 260-7777 (ext. 7777 from any on-campus phone).

(619) 260-7777 Or use any blue emergency phone on campus.

The mass notification system will send a combination of texts, emails and voicemails concurrently to every community member (student, faculty and staff ). Additionally, our outdoor notification system allows DPS to broadcast campus alerts as necessary through speakers located around campus. All community members are encouraged to keep their contact information updated on the MySanDiego portal so that they may receive these critical announcements.

Emergency Procedures DPS strongly encourages all members of the USD community to be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times, and to familiarize yourself with the important campus emergency procedures and information located on the Emergency Preparedness website.

A complete description of FERPA and details on how it affects students and families are available on the Office of the Registrar website. sandiego.edu/registrar/ferpa

Dining Dollars

Meal Plans Meal Plans are designed to enhance your USD experience. Unlimited access dinner and brunch meals offer a wide range of choices and foster a sense of community while you break bread with other Toreros in the Pavilion Dining Room. You have your choice of a variety of meal plan options designed to fit individual eating habits and busy academic schedules. Whether you are interested in a hot breakfast, lunch on the run, a late night snack, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or halal meals, there are options for you. Meal plans are made up of meals, equivalencies, Dining Dollars and guest meals. In most instances, you will have a meal plan during your first and second year. The minimum required resident plan, which will be assigned for the academic year, is determined by your residential status and total number of eligible units. Required plans may not be reduced or canceled at any time. Once a meal plan is purchased or assigned for the year, that will be your plan for the fall and spring semesters. You will be automatically assigned the same meal plan that you have in the fall, for the spring semester. All of the meal plans, complete meal plan policies and FAQs can be found on the Dining website. sandiego.edu/dining

Dining Dollars work just like cash and can be used at all campus dining locations on many food and beverage items.
