Housing and Damage Deposit Resident students are required to pay a Housing and Damage Deposit of $125. The Housing and Damage Deposit reserves a room in campus housing and also functions as a damage deposit fee. The deposit is in addition to tuition and room/board charges and will be refunded to the student less any damage charges to the room or residence hall. New student room assignments are based on the date of housing deposit. Should the residence halls become oversubscribed the date of housing deposit will be used to determine housing availability. Students who do not follow check-out procedures for breaks and at the end of the spring semester will be charged an additional fine.
Keys and Access Cards Each resident student is issued a room key and a mailbox key when they officially check into the residence hall. Student ID cards will function as access cards to allow them entry into the residence halls. For security reasons, a residents may not have keys to rooms other than their own, nor may they have more than one key to their own rooms. Any student using another person’s access card or giving his or her access card to another individual will be subject to a $200 fine and/or disciplinary action. Students are encouraged to keep their ground level windows locked when not in the room. A $25 fee is charged for the replacement of a lost or damaged access card. When a student loses a key, the lock will be replaced, new keys made and the student will be charged for the new lock and labor. This policy minimizes the possibility that someone may find the key and gain access to that room. Anyone finding a key should give the key to a staff member immediately. Only College personnel are authorized to change or repair locks or to duplicate keys.

Outgoing letters can be placed in the outgoing mail-slot located in the Ihmsen Hall Lounge or at the College Switchboard. Overweight or oversized letters and packages may be prepared for mailing at the College Support Center, located on the lower-level of the Main Building. Resident students are responsible for changing their address upon leaving the residence halls. Student packages can now be picked up in Ihmsen Residence Life office.
