Snack Machines
There is a snack and soft drink machine located in close proximity
to each residence hall area. Please report any problems with the
machines to your RA. Note: Vandalism to vending machines may
result in the loss of those machines for the remainder of the
academic year.
Cable TV
The residence halls are "wired" for cable. Basic
cable is provided in each suite. To upgrade your service, Comcast representatives will be on campus during orientation. In addition, most of
the TVs in the residence hall lounges offer cable TV stations.
Housekeeping
The housekeeping staff is responsible for cleaning all public
areas. These areas include the lounges, bathrooms, halls and
stairwells. Housekeeping requests should be channeled to your RA or through our on line maintenance request system. Remember,
housekeeping can only clean bathrooms that are free of undue
clutter on the sinks and floor area.
Laundry Facilities
Coin operated washers and dryers are located on the first floor of
Traer, the basement of the Dempsey Hall and on each floor of NoSo and Phase II. Please
report malfunctioning machines to your RA.
Maintenance
Routine maintenance needs should be reported by making a
request on line via the
Residence Life web page or to your RA. Please be specific
in describing your problem and date the request; this will
expedite repairs.
Emergency maintenance concerns should be
reported to the RA or Campus Safety immediately.
Pest Control
If you are having problems with insects of any kind in your
room, please inform your RA or RLC, so the appropriate measures may
be taken to rid your quarters of such pests. Generally the
exterminator comes on campus on the first Friday of each month
to take care of any problems. It is important for students to keep
their rooms neat and free of debris and open food sources.
Safety and Security
Always lock your door and take your key with you, even if you
are leaving for just a short period of time. Do not lend your key
to others. Do not keep large amounts of cash in your room Protect
the safety of your fellow residents by respecting all visitation
policies. Keep outside doors locked even if it causes you an
inconvenience. Propping outside doors for easier re-entry or
giving out access codes to buildings compromises the safety of the
entire building and is considered a very serious violation of
policy. The outside doors of Traer are monitored by an alarm
between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 7:00 a.m During these
hours if a door remains open for more than 45 seconds an alarm
will sound until the door is closed. Telephones
The University recommends that each student bring a cell phone to campus as telephone service is not available in the residence halls rooms. Telephones for local calls and emergency use will be available in common areas of each building.
The University maintains a relationship with AT&T wireless which provides a discount for service to faculty, staff, and students. Due to the construction of campus buildings and the lack of cell phone towers in the area, not all cell phone companies have good coverage on campus. AT&T and Verizon Wireless seem to provide the most coverage on campus and in the residence halls. However, the University makes no guarantee that AT&T or Verizon or any other service provider will have coverage on campus.
Internet Services
All student rooms are wired for Internet accessibility, both wired and wireless. For additional information on the
network, you can visit the
IT Services web page or drop by their office in Goodman
Hall.
