Job Summary The Night Operations Assistant (NOA) provides overnight front desk staffing and safety support in residence halls. Reporting to the building’s Resident Director and supervised through the Assistant Director for Risk Management and Front Desk Operations, the NOA serves as a key part of the residential support system during overnight hours. This position works approximately 9½ months per year, when residence halls are open.

The NOA verifies access to the building, monitors camera feeds, enforces guest and visitation policies, documents incidents and concerns, and escalates urgent issues to RAs on‑call, Senior Staff On‑Call (SSOC), or Central Office On‑Call (COOC) as needed. The NOA helps uphold the University Housing Community Standards (UHCS) and responds to incidents in accordance with ORL training and policies. The position also emphasizes a developmental approach—providing support, referring residents to resources, and communicating concerns to the CAA and RD to support continuity of care and student success.

NOAs are expected to model professional conduct, discretion, and ethical decision‑making at all times. This includes maintaining confidentiality, handling sensitive information responsibly, and engaging with students in a respectful, developmentally appropriate manner. NOAs contribute to creating a community environment rooted in trust and care and upholding the mission and values of the Office of Residence Life.

Student Success will, from the time of early college outreach to graduation and beyond, support students in living a life of meaning and purpose. From a student‑centered framework, our practice will be grounded in peer‑reviewed literature, national best practices, and data‑informed decision making.
