Office of Student Life. The Emory Activities Board is made up of students who plan an annual calendar of events ranging from dances to concerts to carnival events. They host popular comedians and other entertainers, and provide a regular selection of popular movies for viewing. In addition, the intramural program offers a wide variety of recreational sports competitions in individual and team formats. The Student Life Office manages facilities such as the Martin-Brock Student Center (which houses a game room and student lounges), offers rental of sports and outdoor equipment, and plans special events.
Athletics
The college offers varsity intercollegiate competition for men in football, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, and cross country; women compete in basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, cross country, soccer, and swimming. Many other sports are covered through interest clubs and intramural competition. To be eligible for participation in varsity athletics, an individual must be enrolled as a full-time degree-seeking student and must not be on academic or disciplinary probation. Additional eligibility requirements, as well as regulations for the overall athletic program, are prescribed by the college faculty, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC), and the athletic association in which Emory & Henry holds membership, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Division III). Emory & Henry College competes according to NCAA Division III guidelines. The same policies which apply to all students will be exercised in the case of student athletes.
Residence Halls
Room assignments are made through the Office of Student Life. Each resident student signs a housing agreement to assume certain responsibilities for keeping the residence hall in good condition. Abuse of the privileges of residence hall life may subject the student to disciplinary action and/or charges for damage. The college reserves the right to consolidate rooms after the first two weeks of each semester. Room consolidation means that the resident may choose a roommate, or declare the room a single and pay the single room rate (pending approval by the Office of Student Life and based on space availability), or be moved to another room by Student Life. Every residential student is required to participate in the college meal plan.

Campus Policies
Each resident student living in college residence halls, including the college-owned small houses, will be issued a room key and access to a main entrance of his or her hall. Access is given in either the form of a main entrance key to the residence hall or electronic access on the student ID card. If a student loses a room key, he or she will be charged the cost of replacement, and a new key will be ordered through the Office of Student Life. If an entrance key is lost, in addition to paying to replace the key, the student will be required to pay the cost of a new lock cylinder and keys for all the residents. If a student does not return the issued keys at the time of checkout, he or she will be charged for replacement of the key(s), and for a new lock cylinder if an entrance key is not returned.
