Residence Staff are here to support you in that relationship. We facilitate a roommate agreement process shortly after move in to help you and your roommate discuss some key areas of shared living. While the majority of residents enjoy a good living arrangement with their roommates, sometimes problems can arise, and residence staff are here to help should that occur.

The Centre for Catholic-Jewish Learning was established at King’s in 2004 in order to celebrate and further the renewal that was wrought in the relationship between the communities at The Second Vatican Council. At the time of its original inception, the Centre was tasked with the mandate of working toward the eventual establishment of a trilogue between all three Abrahamic faiths – Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Visit www.kings.uwo.ca/cjcml/ KAMP King’s Academic Mentoring Program (KAMP) is designed to address every aspect of our students’ interaction with our community to maximize their likelihood of academic and personal success. This involves mentoring students on issues ranging from basic life skills, to the rhythm of student life and the various academic checkpoints and milestones that they will encounter. Mentors also provide guidance on how to successfully transfer to university from high school.

Conceived as a student run mentoring program housed under the auspices of the Vice Principal Academic, it is designed to entice exemplary students to seek opportunities of volunteerism at King’s. It provides an opportunity for senior students to give back to the King’s community and guide younger students in their journey through academia. www.kings.uwo.ca/kamp Student rights and responsibilities: The King’s College Code of Student Conduct articulates the philosophy of the College and behavioural standards for the student

community. All students should be familiar with the Code of Conduct which is available at www.kings.uwo.ca/currentstudents/student-services or contact the Dean of Students’ Office for a print copy.
