# Welcome to College Houses & Academic Services
As a division of the Provost’s Office, our mission is to bring academic life out of the classroom and into Penn's on-campus living spaces. At Penn, every undergraduate lives for at least two years in a College House alongside members of our faculty, a CHAS House Director, and a team of Resident Advisors, all of whom provide support and educational opportunities.
