Housing: About Us

The ARLC articulates to students the values, philosophy, and policies of University Housing and the University and represents University Housing as a role model in all facets of university life. The ARLC assists with departmental opening and closing processes, facilitates community development, coordinates staff programming efforts, serves as a referral agent for students, effectively manages administrative tasks, assists in the selection, training, and supervision of undergraduate staff, and serves as a positive member of the University Housing team. The ARLC is supervised by a Residence Life Coordinator (RLC) who works in the same assigned residential area.

The ARLC must have a Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education and must be enrolled in a graduate program at a regionally accredited institution of higher education (Preferred enrollment at NKU).

Preferred qualifications include at least one year of employment as a Resident Assistant (RA) (or equivalent position) and at least one year of living on a college campus.

Any candidate who is offered this position will be required to go through a pre-employment criminal background check as mandated by state law.

Northern Kentucky University is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access/Affirmative Action institution.
