Below is a guide to help you get settled into your new home.
Loading/Unloading and Moving In:
Temporarily stop your vehicle by your village and unload your belongings. Do not leave your vehicle unattended. As soon as your vehicle is unloaded, relocate it to Long Term Parking. See the "Parking & Parking Permits" below for additional information.
Trash & Cardboard Recycling:
Please bring broken down/flattened empty boxes and trash to the large dumpsters located in the parking lots. The small litter receptacles are intended for litter only – not room trash & recycling. Reminder: all plastic bags and styrofoam are not recyclable and must go in the trash dumpsters.
Respect Roommates Who Have Yet to Arrive:
Please don’t take over the entire bedroom or suite and occupy space that is not yours. Please keep the suite and apartment clean and organized so that your housemates can also have a pleasant move-in experience when they get here.
Room Information
How do I get into my room?
Your student ID card will be your “key” to your residence. The front door requires dual authentication (swipe with ID card and enter the issued PIN Code followed by “#”). If you do not have a valid ID card, you have been issued a temp card until you obtain your SSU ID Card – which can be done through Seawolf Service Center located in Salazar Hall. Temporary cards issued at check-in are valid until February 1. You will need to transfer your room information from the temp card to your SSU ID BEFORE then. View how to use the electronic lock.
Something is not clean, broken/does not work, and/or is missing from my room. How can I get this taken care of?
Room Condition Form
Prior to unpacking, take a few minutes to access the online room condition form to identify any pre-occupancy “damage conditions” so that you are not charged for these damages when you check-out of the room. Check that the furniture inventory published on the online form is accurate; record any missing items on the Room Condition Form. Complete within 7 days of your Move-In. If you do not complete the room condition form, we will consider your space in acceptable condition and you will be held responsible for the cost to repair any or all damages.
Damages, Cleaning Issues or Missing Furniture:
Please submit a work order! You can place work orders online 24/7 from your computer, phone, or other devices. Type SSU Fixit in the SSU search box or go to Facilities Management home page to place a work order. If any of the windows or doors cannot be locked, please submit a work order promptly. Additional information about maintenance of your residence can be found on our maintenance resource webpage.
If the problem poses a security risk, is actively causing property damage, or is a life-safety hazard, please call the REACH immediately or your on-call RA after hours.
What type of cleaning service is provided?
Community meeting spaces and laundry rooms are cleaned by the University's custodial staff. Residents are responsible for the cleanliness of their bedroom/bathroom and common space in their residence.
What if I want to move my furniture?
Students may rearrange their furniture to fit their preferences. Please remember, before moving out, all furniture must be returned to its original arrangement. However, beds may not be reconfigured and furniture should not be dismantled.
