Early arrival dates
If there is an exceptional reason that you need to arrive early you must obtain permission from the student life office. There is a $50/night minimum occupancy fee for approved early occupancy of the residence hall rooms outside of school-sponsored events.
If you will participate as a member of the volleyball, football or soccer teams you can move into your room on Friday, Aug. 15. Contact your coach if you have questions about arrival arrangements and the camp schedule. The dates when the halls open and close for each semester, as well as vacation periods, are published in the student handbook.
Those living off campus
If you are twenty-one years of age or older and living off campus this year you must provide the student life office with your off-campus local address the first week of classes.
Bringing a vehicle to campus?
All students who drive cars on campus will need red parking permits, if your red permit is still readable you can use the same red permit you obtained last year. Please note that this year all parking violations will result in tickets that will be 1st-warning; 2nd-$40; 3rd-$60; 4th-towed. Towing will be at the driver’s expense and will require payment for towing and all previous tickets prior to the release of the car. Please see the additional vehicle registration information provided by the Department of Building and Grounds.
I.D. cards
All returning students need to stop in the human resources office (Weller first floor) to pick up and sign for their new I.D. card. You will need to turn in your old I.D. card at that time. If you no longer have your old I.D. card, you will need to show a picture I.D. when picking up the new card. If you did not come in for a picture before you left last April, you can get the new picture and I.D. at that time.
Student health insurance
This year's student health insurance information will be in campus mail boxes. If you are off living off-campus this school year, please come to the student services office for a copy.
