SINGLE WOMEN’S
RESIDENT MANUAL
“What is the greatest secret of life? Is it not that the
Creator has a plan for every person born into the world?”
- Gordon Lindsay
WOMEN’S DEPARTMENT
Welcome to Christ For The Nations,
You are about to begin an incredible journey that will challenge you both spiritually
and emotionally. It is our prayer that you take advantage of this time of preparation to
allow God to minister to you and to establish a spirit of excellence within you.
You will have many opportunities to meet people with different backgrounds and
ideas. We pray that that your stay here will be one of spiritual enrichment and cultural
learning as you mix and mingle with fellow students from all over the world.
During your stay in single female housing please remember to adhere to the
scriptural principle of esteeming others above yourself. As you read this manual,
please keep in mind that we are not trying to burden you with unreasonable rules
and regulations, nor are we trying to discourage or frustrate you. Instead, we hope to
instill within you an attitude of responsibility that will remain with you for the rest of
your life.
Both the Assistant Dean and I are here to serve you. Please feel free to speak to us
whenever the need arises. Once again, welcome to one of the greatest experiences
in your life - Christ For The Nations.
Sincerely,
Dean of Women

campus to maintain and will fix the issue in your room
as soon as possible.
ROOM INSPECTIONS
Room inspections will be held every Friday by your RA.
Please be out of your apartment by 7:45 a.m. with your

convenience.

battery. When this happens, please fill out a Work

EMERGENCY EVACUATION
Fire
In case of a fire emergency, call 911 and
inform an RA immediately. Please exit
the complex as quickly and calmly as
possible using the stairs closest to your
apartment. Please leave your door open as you leave.
An RA will shut your door as she ensures your room is
empty.
Tornado
If you hear air horns in your housing area,
the Public Warning Systems Sirens, or if
RAs ask you to; move quickly to the
apartment directly below yours. Go to an
area inside the apartment away from the exterior doors
and windows (bathroom, hallway or closet). If you are
not in an apartment at the time – get away from the
outside windows/doors. Do not be in large open areas.
Get low to the ground and cover your head.
During these emergency situations, it is imperative that
you follow the direction of the Deans Department and
the RAs. Do not return to your apartment or leave from
any building until you have been given permission from
the Deans Department.
The heart of CFN is to maintain a Christ-centered
environment for our diverse community. Due to the
availability, content, and influence of entertainment in
our culture, it is crucial that personal decisions
regarding television viewing, choice of video and
theater films, and use of computer reflect discernment,
or careful judgment, based on thoughtful application of
the principles/values of Scripture. The educational or
entertainment value of media should not compromise
the application of biblical principles.
Guidelines for campus media:
Public Areas on Campus
(Outside of your dormitory room)
Media viewed or listened to in public places on campus
must not contain vulgarity, inappropriate sexual content
or offensive material. Therefore, no movies over a PG
Rating may be viewed without prior approval from the
Deans Department.
Dorm Room/Off Campus
 No media over PG-13 may be viewed without
prior approval from the Deans Department
 Due to limited space in dormitories, computer
monitors/screens may not exceed 32 inches
 Televisions are not permitted in dorm rooms

Safety Tips
- DO NOT go anywhere alone at night; always try to travel in pairs or
groups.
- Kiest Park is a great place to go in the daytime for reading, meditating,
walking, & picnicking, but DO NOT go there alone at night.
- Southwest Center Mall (south on 67) looks convenient because it’s so
close, but may we suggest an alternative below that is much nicer, safer
and offers a greater variety of shops.
We recommend Cedar Hill as the best, closest place to do your shopping. There is a Wal--Mart on
Wheatland Rd. that is closer, but the Cedar Hill Wal-Mart is much nicer. To get to Cedar Hill, take
highway 67 south about 10 miles to F.M. 1382.
