DAs
Desk Assistants are students hired to provide information and services at each residence hall desk. DAs staff the desk from 6:45 am until 11 pm. Public Safety staffs the desk from 11pm until 6:45 am. If at any point in time a student needs information or immediate assistance, the DA can be of assistance.

RAs
Resident Assistants are upperclass students who have been specially selected and trained to work with students in the residence halls at the College of Charleston. RAs are peers who live on the same hall (or in the same house) with students. The RA's job is to aid in creating a positive living and learning environment for students. Together with the help of other staff members and students, RAs work to plan educational programs, floor or house socials, help enforce residence hall policies, and assist in promoting positive roommate/suitemate relations.

ARHDs
Assistant Residence Hall Directors are junior and senior level undergraduate students who live in the residence halls and assist the RHD with the management and operation of the halls. ARHDs are directly responsible for desk operations and work alongside the RHD to provide a quality living learning environment through programming and policy enforcement.

RHDs
Residence Hall Directors are normally graduate students pursuing a Masters degree in Student Personnel, Counseling, Education, or a related field. RHDs are also specially selected and trained to work with students in many of the same ways that RAs provide assistance. RHDs have additional responsibilities for the leadership of an entire building (or group of houses), and for supervision of the RA staff.

Residents needing assistance should first contact their RA.
The following Live-In staff phone numbers are for the RHDs who supervise RAs. Get to know the building's RHDs on our staff page.
