About HARC

The Housing Activities Resources Council is a body of students that represents each residence hall in the House System. The purpose of HARC is to disburse funds to events that promote social interaction between residence halls. HARC meets every week to hear, discuss, and vote on proposals for funding. Students planning events with opportunity for involvement from different residence halls are encouraged to apply for HARC funding. Plan something fun, and we hope you'll apply!

HARC proposals are now completely electronic, so please download it here. Please submit it via e-mail and not to the Housing Office. Copies are no longer available in the Housing Office.

Remember the following important points:

An event must involve at least two separate houses in different residence halls.
Students, not Housing staff, should organize events when applying for HARC funding.
Students must apply for HARC funding at least 2 weeks before the date of the event. After the deadline, students who still wish to propose must receive consent from the President.
This list of requirements is not complete. The HARC Handbook contains all the guidelines for how an event must be planned to be eligible for HARC funding.

The HARC President is Nina Giviyan-Kermani. Feel free to contact her at ngiviyankermani AT uchicago dot edu with any questions.
