Upon arrival to campus, you will go directly to the residence hall to which you are assigned, you will be provided with instructions on where to park before you pick up keys and fill out your emergency card.

Sometimes you may have a room assigned to you that is listed as a Potential Triple Room. This does not mean that three people have been assigned to that room; only that if we do, this room may be used as a temporary assignment. Be assured these assignments are only temporary. All students will be relocated to permanent assignments at the first available opportunity. For some, this will occur as early as Tuesday, Aug. 29, when the housing assignments of expected students who do not arrive are forfeited. Reallocation of residential assignments will continue until the last temporary accommodation is eliminated.

When you arrive on campus during your check-in at the residence hall you will be asked to fill out a blue emergency card with contact information for our office to contact in the event of an emergency. This information is kept confidential and only used when necessary. Please review the In Case of Emergency (ICE) information.

Each residence hall provides a laundry room equipped with washers and dryers. The fee for laundry access is included in your room rate. All residential students will be provided with unlimited personal access to washers and dryers at any residential location.

Please make sure you address your mail correctly so that the item will not be delayed. Also, be sure to secure a tracking number or request signatures for items of value and importance. Your name and your mail code are very important!
