Q: Can I bring my stereo, computer?
Yes, you may bring a stereo and a computer, an IPOD, gaming system, etc. We also recommend headphones in the event that your roommate(s) and/or neighbors are trying to sleep or study while you are using these devices.
Q: What items shouldn't I bring to the Residence Halls?
Candles, incense, Halogen lamps, microwaves, toasters, hot pots, electric skillets, etc. are not allowed in Residence Hall rooms because they are fire hazards. Pets are also not allowed (including fish). In addition, any container that previously held an alcoholic beverage is prohibited as these containers are viewed as evidence of consumption. Please see the Residence Life Guide and recommended things to bring for more information. A more extensive list of prohibited items may be found there.
Q: Are pets allowed in the Residence Halls?
There are no pets allowed in the residence halls. Pets that are found will be immediately removed in less than 24 hours and appropriate castigatory actions will be taken.
Q: Can I bring a refrigerator? Microwave?
Mini-fridges are allowed. Our general rule is waist high (4.6 cu ft) or smaller. The apartments come furnished with mini fridge and microwave in their living room. Microwaves are not allowed in the dorm rooms because we have them located in the common areas of Rancourt and Fortin for student use. There is also a full size refrigerator for temporary storage while cooking in the kitchen (located in Fortin Hall).
Q: Do I have cable TV? What about internet service?
Rooms are equipped with cable TV (one jack per room, student provides the TV and the coaxial cable) and Wi-Fi/broadband internet. When you log on to the housing Wi-Fi there is a screen you enter your student ID number and cmconnect password this will allow you to be on the housing Wi-Fi. As a backup, we have broadband internet (in which you would need to have your own Ethernet cord).
