Living on Campus

Room assignments are chosen by students during the room selection period in May. If you miss the room selection period, Campus Life will automatically assign you to a space on campus. Students who apply after the priority deadline of May 15th are not guaranteed housing, but will be assigned to housing while space is available or will be added to a housing waitlist.

New students will be invited to move in at an assigned date and time in August or January. When you move in, you’ll receive your student ID, which will give you access to your residence hall building and your meal plan in the dining hall. You’ll also be given a key to your room and a mailbox key for your mail. 

To help you move in, we have some moving carts and a whole welcome team that will help you bring your items from your car to your room. You’ll have 20 minutes to unload your belongings, and then you’ll be asked to make room for other vehicles and move your car to an off-campus lot to park. 

Laundry facilities are located in each residence hall, and you’ll be provided with a reloadable laundry card to operate washers and dryers. (In Juniper Hall, laundry services are coin-operated, so be sure to come prepared with a roll of quarters.)

All residential living policies are outlined in our Student Handbook. Access the handbook online.

All students who live on campus are assigned a resident assistant (RA), who serves as an advisor and mentor to residents. RAs have completed a thorough training about campus and community resources, emergency response procedures, and university protocol. If you don’t know where to go on campus for support, they are a great first stop.

RAs provide fun, too! They host all types of programs for residents. Some popular programs are movie nights, video game competitions, and recipe sharing. If you have a program you would like to see, talk to your RA—they’ll make it happen!
