Resident Assistants (commonly referred to as RAs) are student leaders and members of the residence life team at WNCC.

It is his or her job to enhance the overall on-campus living environment for each student. Your RA is a mediator, listener, organizer, policy enforcer and role model in your residence hall community.

Your RA should be your first point of contact for residence hall issues.

Both residence halls in Scottsbluff provide security through a controlled card access system. This security system provides monitored access to the residence halls.

All guests must enter through the front doors of each residence hall unless accompanied by a resident using his or her access card.

Each residence hall provides front-desk staffing from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. If emergencies arise, please contact the front desk or RA immediately.

For those students with a vehicle at WNCC, parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Since parking spaces close to the residence halls can be in short supply during high-demand periods, we ask that you be courteous of others and park vehicles appropriately (between the marked lines). Also, please obey all no parking zones.

Violations of parking regulations could cause the vehicle to be towed at the owner’s expense.

Both residence halls on the Scottsbluff campus provide in-room or in-suite basic telephone and cable TV service.

The resident is responsible for providing the correct cabling, phone and television set. We recommend that students bring their own answering machine. Long distance services should be accessed through calling cards. Premium cable channels and pay-per-view services are not available at this time.

Fully-equipped, student-access computer labs are available in both residence halls on the Scottsbluff campus. These 24-hour labs provide the latest in hardware and software technology, including access to the Internet, word processing and spreadsheet packages. Laser printers are provided for printing needs.

Computer data ports are available in each room in Pioneer Hall, and wireless Internet is available in the new residence hall. Students must provide their own computer and Ethernet cards to access the network connections. Residents interested in using the wireless network connection must have wireless access through a wireless card for a laptop computer or a wireless adapter for a desktop computer.

Each residence hall on the Scottsbluff campus provides coin-operated laundry facilities on each floor.

In addition to any living areas provided in the residence hall units, each hall on the Scottsbluff campus contains an activity center or student lounge area. These areas are perfect for gathering, socializing and relaxing.

Pioneer Hall's lounge area includes pool tables, air hockey, table tennis and large screen televisions.

Conestoga Hall's student lounge includes comfortable furniture surrounding a gathering area with a fireplace.

The campus life team, from administrators to student leaders, is committed to providing safe, non-threatening environments for all residents.

We want to strengthen the relationships and levels of understanding among our residents by supporting diversity as it exists on our campus or centers.

By developing relationships, we are preparing our residents for the diverse world our residents will soon enter. We encourage each student to see each student for who they are, not what they are.

Therefore, we strongly encourage acceptance and appreciation of people from all walks of life, appreciation of backgrounds and appreciation for differences.

Each person has intrinsic worth to us, and as human beings, deserves dignity and respect.
