Northern Lights College (NLC) has Residence space for students aged 17 and older. NLC strives to provide a safe and secure environment and is dedicated
to promoting safety in the residence and on the campus.
For students under 19 years of age, NLC requires a parent or legal guardian to complete this consent form in order for the Residence Application to be
processed. The following is not intended as an exhaustive list of issues that may arise in Residence, but is intended to assist in determining whether
Residence is right for your child.
1. Students living in residence are required to comply with all NLC Policies and Rules, including those outlined in the Residence Guide and Handbook.
2. Room assignments, where possible, are determined on the basis of age, gender and/or program of study. However, the age of students living in the
residency building may vary, and your child may be living near older students.
3. NLC is a non-smoking facility. Smoking or the use of tobacco in the Residence is strictly prohibited.
4. The use or possession of drugs anywhere on NLC grounds, including in the Residence, is prohibited at all times. Students found in possession of or
using any form of illicit drugs will be evicted from the Residence and the RCMP may be involved.
5. Students over the age of 19 are permitted to have and consume alcohol inside suites where all residents are age 19 or over; however, open alcohol is
not permitted in the hallways or recreational areas. All individuals in the residence can expect to come into contact with other students who have
consumed alcohol.
6. No adult supervision is provided in the Residence. Campus Security personnel are scheduled from 4 pm to 3 am seven days a week. A Residence
Manager oversees operations during regular weekday business hours. Neither Security nor the Residence Manager provides supervision.
7. Each Residence has a Resident Assistant(s). These are student leaders who are on call every day to assist students with complaints or concerns,
including students who become locked out of their rooms. The Resident Assistants do not provide supervision of students.
8. NLC does not provide meal services to students living in Residence.
9. Computers are available for use in Residence study areas, and wireless Internet access is available throughout the Residence. The use of these
computers is not monitored by NLC and therefore students have unrestricted access to the Internet. If there are websites you do not want your child to
view, you must discuss that issue directly with your child.
10. Televisions are permitted in all suites, and a television is provided in the common area. NLC does not monitor or restrict the programs or movies viewed
by students.
11. NLC is not responsible for any loss, theft or damage to the personal belongings of students kept in the Residence. NLC does not provide insurance
coverage for students’ personal belongings.
