of the case as well as sanctions as deemed appropriate. If you are a resident student
interested in becoming a member of the Residence Hall Judicial Board, please contact

Residence Hall Council (RHC) - website
The Residence Hall Council (RHC) is a student
organization that serves as a liaison between
residential students and DePaul University's
administration. We are one of the largest programming
organizations on campus and annually plan a number of
celebrated events.
Residence Hall Council represents all students living on
campus. With Hall Representatives from each hall and a
very active executive board, RHC is one of the best
known and most distinguished organizations on campus. We
strive to enrich the lives of students and to help them
feel comfortable in the DePaul community. Our goal is
simple: "We make DePaul home."
