Your UMail account is your official university email address. HDP and other university departments will communicate important information to this email. It is important that students check this account often. Set up your Mobile UCard prior to move-in by visiting ucard.utah.edu
FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, states that school officials may not disclose personally identifiable information about students nor permit inspection of their records by others without written permission from the student. Students are protected by FERPA as soon as they are admitted to the University of Utah. These records include, but are not limited to: grades, class schedules, student conduct records, identification numbers, housing assignments, and payment information. Questions regarding FERPA may be directed to the Office of the Registrar at 801-581-5808 or registrar@utah.edu. Learn more at registrar. utah.edu.

The Campus Alert System is a messaging service that alerts students to all potential weather conditions, safety threats, and other emergencies on campus. This system also provides notification to residents in case of an emergency within HDP facilities. University of Utah students are automatically signed up for this service, so do not opt out of this service. Visit alert.utah.edu for more information.
CAMPUS COURTESY ESCORT
It is our priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment to everyone on campus. Courtesy escorts are always available as a resource to students while on campus.

Housing Policies
GUEST POLICY
HDP residential living areas remain locked at all times. Only students who live in a building have access to enter. Guests must be escorted by a resident of the building at all times and may not be left alone in the resident’s space. Students are responsible for the behavior of their guests. A guest is any person who does not live within the building.
OVERNIGHT GUEST POLICY
Residents may host one overnight guest at a time in their academic year room. Hosted guests staying in a space after midnight on weeknights and after 2 a.m. on weekends are defined as overnight guests. These guests must be registered via Housing U. An overnight guest must reside in the hosting resident’s contracted space for sleep and may not reside in common spaces.
ITEMS NOT ALLOWED IN HOUSING
Some items are prohibited in residential facilities. Failure to comply can result in conduct action and possible eviction.
Some of the items not allowed include, but are not limited to, the following:
Personal router or modem
Drugs and alcohol, including but not limited to: full/empty alcohol bottle collections, drug paraphernalia, kegs as decoration, etc.

Students are responsible for all policies outlined in Policy 6-400: Student Rights and Responsibilities, the HDP website, and in their housing contract. Residents may be required to meet with the Office of the Dean of Students staff to discuss certain situations. All accountability case communication will be sent to the student’s UMail. Students are responsible for checking their UMail and following up per the instructions outlined in the email. The student accountability system is educational in nature, and it is our mission to encourage, facilitate, and support the learning and development of all residents while creating an inclusive and safe living environment.
More information can be found online at: housing.utah.edu/policies and regulations.utah.edu/academics/6-400.html

Smoking and the use of any tobacco product (including e-cigarettes) is prohibited on all university property and in any outdoor area controlled by the university. These areas include all university residence halls and apartment buildings. This rule is applicable 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For more information, visit regulations.utah.edu/administration/rules/r3-300a.php
COMMUNITY DAMAGES
Any instances of damage or vandalism in a community will be divided amongst the residents in that community/building, and the cost will be billed directly to student accounts. Approximately 30 days before students are charged, a notice will be sent to community members in an effort to identify the responsible individual(s) for additional investigation. However, in the event that the responsible party is not identified, the repair cost will be assessed to the impacted community. Please consider the importance of taking care of your home. Facilities team members work as quickly as possible to address these concerns when they happen; however, these items take time to repair.

Tips for Getting Along with Roommates:
• Complete the roommate agreement

• Address things when they’re still little
• Be mindful of your roommates’ possessions
• Lock the door and windows to protect belongings
• It’s OK to not be best friends
ROOM CHANGES

Unauthorized room changes are not allowed and a penalty may apply. Room changes cannot be made during the first two weeks of the semester due to occupancy verification.

TRANSPORTATION FOR RESIDENTS DINING ON CAMPUS
From gelato to cheeseburgers and Mexican to Brazillian food, the University of Utah has been diversifying its culinary experience over the past few years. With more than 20 food service locations across campus accepting dining plans, students, faculty, staff, and guests can find a wide range of dining options.
LOTS OF WAYS TO DINE!
• All-You-Care-to-Eat Options: Use weekly meal taps at Peterson Heritage Center & Kahlert Village Dining Halls.
• To-Go Meals: Take food on the go from the dining halls by requesting a to-go box.
• Flex Dollars: Work like a debit card on your UCard and can be used at dining locations across campus.
• Transfer Taps: Transfer your weekly meal taps to be used at all U of U Dining Services except Panda Express
FLEX PLUS
All University of Utah Dining locations accept Flex and Flex+ dollars. Some partner locations, such as Starbucks, accept Flex+ dollars only, as they operate outside of the University Dining Services program. Additional Flex+ partner locations will be added as they become available.
Please note that only 50% of your Flex dollars per semester may be used at Flex+ locations. You can track your balances through Grubhub!
TIP: UCARD
You’re a tap away from lots of great stuff! Use your UCard to get into the dining halls, spend your flex dollars, or use a transfer meal. Plus, your UCard is what allows you to use SLC public transit for free. Don’t forget to set up your mobile credentialed UCard before move-in day! To activate go to ucard.utah.edu/mobile/
24/7 & LATE-NIGHT OPTIONS
Find hot snacks 24/7 at the Just Baked self-serve machine in the Peterson Heritage Center lobby and these convenient late-night dining options:
All-You-Care-to-Eat options open until 9pm with retail options until midnight- something for everybody at just about every time! Check all the locations on the U of U campus map, hours of operation, and menus on food.utah.edu
DINING PLAN FAQs
Who is required to have a dining plan?
• Most first-year students! Dining plans are optional for students living in apartments, pods, and end-cap communities. What constitutes a dining plan week?
• Dining plan weeks start on Friday and end on Thursday.
When does my dining plan renew?
• Dining plans automatically renew at the start of Spring semester.
If I don’t use my dining plan, can I cancel it?
• Failure to use a dining plan does not cancel a student’s financial responsibility for the dining plan. Unused taps do not carry over from week to week.
DIETARY RESTRICTIONS
We offer individualized dining plans tailored to your specific needs. Before the semester begins, please fill out our Allergy & Dietary Needs form, and we will schedule a meeting with you and one of our Campus Chefs to:
• Discuss your allergies or dietary restrictions
• Review menu items and ingredients
• Identify specialty products you may need
• Address cross-contamination concerns
• Develop a personalized dining plan
For specific questions about dietary needs, please contact David Woodruff by email at dwoodruff@housing.utah.edu
TRANSPORTATION
There are a variety of ways to get around campus and the Salt Lake area. We strongly encourage you to consider alternate transportation methods rather than bringing a car with you to campus. Only about a third of students who live on campus bring a car with them!

Explore permit types at commuterservices.utah.edu
URIDE

AN INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE
University Housing is committed to making each resident feel welcomed and included in our campus communities — including an environment that is welcoming to all gender identities and forms of expression. Students interested in Gender-Inclusive Housing can select this option on the room gender page in the application.
When you complete the housing application, you will select from three housing room classifications. These include, male, female, or gender-inclusive rooms. Room selection/assignments are based on your choice. Per Utah State law, if you select a “Male” or “Female” room, this should align with your sex at birth. Gender-Inclusive housing is available to all students, no matter a students’ gender or sex identity. Gender inclusive rooms are offered in most buildings on campus (except for Gateway Heights, Lassonde Studios, and Trailhead). Gender-inclusive rooms are also offered across all room types (e.g. single, double, pod, apartments, etc). These spaces offer a safe and supportive environment for transgender, non-binary, and LGBTQIA students, but are also available to any student regardless of identity.
GET INVOLVED
First-year students who live on campus are highly encouraged to get involved in the Residence Hall Association (RHA), National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH), or their Community Council. Students will gain connections, obtain professional skills, and make a difference on campus. In addition, our office spaces at Peterson Heritage Center and Kahlert Village have free resources, including printing, snacks, energy drinks, board games, and study space.
