Newly remodeled facilities are available to student residents living
on campus. The renovation included new furnishings, paint, carpet, window
coverings, and the addition of residence suites, a fitness center, and computer
laboratory.
Living on campus will make you a part of a community of students who share
experiences, learn to trust one another and support each other in obtaining
academic success. Your room is fully furnished and air conditioned. A meal
plan, computer laboratory, physical fitness center, outdoor swimming pool,
laundry facility, recreation facilities, and community custodial services
are included.
Residence Hall Living. The convenience of on-campus living makes
it easy to go to and from class, use the campus library, and attend activities
during evenings and weekends.
The halls have a variety of interesting programs designed to add an exciting
dimension to on-campus living. Social activities include dances, special
hall and floor dinners, barbecues, and movies. Educational programs provide
information on such topics as alcohol awareness, appreciation of differences,
personal safety, and resume writing.
Individual Halls. The housing complex consists of nine residence
halls, housing support services building, and the residence dining facility.
Baker, Graves, and Homan Halls each house 192 students in a design that
encourages building unity. Aspen, Birch, Cedar, Ponderosa, Sequoia, and
Sycamore provide one, two, or three bedroom residence suites with a living
room and bathroom. Quiet, substance free, and international living areas
are available. All halls are coed and house men on one floor, wing, or suite
and women on another. A total of 1,000 students live on campus.
The majority of the rooms are shared by two students, although approximately
120 single rooms are available if you want privacy.
Staff. Trained professionals are available to help make your stay
in the residence halls enjoyable. Specialists in programming assist you
in developing social, cultural, educational, and recreational programs and
activities.
Augmenting this staff are the senior resident adviser and resident adviser
staffs. Students who have previous residence hall living experience are
selected to serve as student leaders on each floor. Resident advisers receive
training in active listening and crisis intervention and understand the
workings of the university so they can assist students with academic-related
issues, emergencies, and personal concerns.
How to Apply. The housing application process is separate from the
university admissions process.
Applications are available in January for the fall semester and in October
for the spring semester. You are urged to apply early as on-campus space
is limited. Your contract is for an entire academic year unless you graduate,
marry, or withdraw from the university.
All individuals applying to the university for the first time auto-matically
receive housing infor-
mation. You need not wait until you are officially accepted by the university
to submit your housing application. If you are denied admission, your deposit
will be refunded to you once you notify us. To request a housing application,
contact the Housing Office at (800) 555-0482 or (559) 278-2345.
Employment Opportunities. Students living in the residence halls receive
priority consideration for student positions available in housing, food
services, and the bookstore. Information is included in your housing application
packet.
Priority Registration. Residence hall students who sign up by April
11 to return to the halls for the following semester receive priority registration
for courses.
Off-Campus Housing. Listings of houses, rooms, and students looking
for roommates are available in the Student Activities Office. The university
does not inspect, approve or disapprove any units offered for rent.
