Rainbow Floor Community Standards

The Rainbow Floor is a special interest community that expects residents to have a commitment to the LGBT community and their academic success. Residents on the floor serve as role-models for the campus community. Please consider the community standards when applying for the floor.

Community standards for Rainbow Floor residents

  • Attend floor meetings, as scheduled by residents at the beginning of each semester.
  • Attend floor retreats at the beginning of each semester.
  • Participate in at least two Rainbow Floor events in the fall and spring semesters, such as campus partner dinners, community service events with local Los Angeles LGBT organizations, film soirees, Halloween party, etc.
  • Participate in at least two USC LGBT community events in the fall and spring semesters that are sponsored by the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Student Assembly (GLBTA) of the LGBTResourceCenter. Events include, but are not limited to, Welcome Back Barbecue, Ally Discussions, QueerStories, Lavender Commencement Celebration, etc.
  • Maintain a good academic standing. This is monitored by the LGBT Resource Center Director. The floor does not have a GPA requirement, but it is highly encouraged to take academics serious and create and intervention if improvement is needed.

The Resident Advisor will keep track of your participation.
