Belmont-ese

Here’s a key to some common lingo at Belmont. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it should get you started.

RA - Resident Assistant. This person lives on your floor or in your building and will be a BIG resource.

RD -   Residence Director.  This person oversees your complex and can also be a resource.

AD -   Assistant Director.  This person oversees one of our three communities. They too, are an excellent resource.

TT -   Towering Traditions.  This is our orientation program. You won’t want to miss events sponsored by TT in the next couple of weeks!

RCR  - Room Condition Report.  You must sign this form when you check in.   This form shows what was damaged in the room before you got there. Be sure to look over the RCR thoroughly and mark any damage not listed to insure that you will not be charged for at the end of the year or when you move.   Any damage that was not marked on the form will be charged to you.
