Spiritual transformation occurs in the context of relationships. CCCB’s residence halls offer an opportunity to experience the best of fellowship and encouragement as a key part of servant leadership development. All full-time, single, Moberly Campus students under the age of 24 are required to live in either the residence halls or the dorm suites unless granted an exemption through Student Development. In addition, students who are taking classes at MACC may apply to live in the dorms. Students interested in this opportunity may speak with the VP of Student Development.
Residence hall living is a great discipleship and leadership development opportunity. CCCB residence life is intentionally designed to foster a positive environment in which love, mercy, grace, encouragement, and excellence may flourish.
Residence Directors (RD’s)
The Men’s and Women’s Residence Directors and the Dean of Women and Dean of Men lead the Residential Life Staff under the direction and empowerment of the VP of Student Development. They are available for guidance, counsel, and in the case of emergencies. An RD or designee is always on-call for matters related to the residence halls. RD’s enforce campus expectations and may give exceptions to the dormitory rules.
Residence Directors Assistants (RDAs)
Residence Directors will be assisted in their oversight by the RDAs. RDAs will provide leadership in the areas of leading dorm devotions, conducting room checks, and promoting adherence to the dress code and the code of conduct. RDA’s will also be available to support residents in meeting with the Resident Directors or Deans.
Resident Assistants (RA’s)
Resident Assistants live on the dorm floors. RA’s are available for guidance, counsel, and in the case of emergencies. They serve as floor leaders and facilitate spiritual, social, and service opportunities for residents. They serve as a part of the Student Development team and are the front-line staff in CCCB’s effort to maintain a culture of discipleship, service, leadership, integrity, and love. They are empowered by the RDs, Deans, RDAs, and VP of Student Development to initiate disciplinary action when appropriate. A comprehensive list of Student Life Staff, their locations, phone numbers, and emails is located on the back page of the Student Handbook.
Students may request consideration for single occupancy room assignments. Room assignments are made according to availability and at the discretion of the Student Development team through the RDs. Students may also request a roommate, and doing so would provide students with a residential discount should a roommate be provided. Students under the age of 24 may apply for an exemption to live off-campus based upon the following criteria:
- Student’s 24th birthday falls before the first class day of the semester for which they are applying
- Health needs require special facilities that CCCB cannot supply
- A student desires to live with a parent, guardian, or grandparent within an hour of CCCB
- Special work situations exist which require the student to live where they work
- Extreme financial hardship in which off-campus living is necessary for enrollment.
Requests for consideration of an exemption to the on-campus housing requirement must be presented in writing to the Associate Director of Student Development. Requests must include the reason and supporting information for consideration.
