If you haven’t made a payment within one week of submitting the lost key form, your request will be cancelled and a key will not be ordered for you.
Refund Policy: Once your key has been ordered from the lock shop, we are unable to process any refunds. Please note, each student is allowed only one key per room. All duplicates should be handed in to your Residence Director immediately.
Please review our lock-out policy if you have any questions.
Hall Council is the student government within each residence hall. Hall Council programming, activities and equipment is made possible through residence hall dues. The budget for each residence hall is determined by the residents who pay the annual hall dues of $20.00. The Hall Council then decides how to spend these funds. Input from all residents helps in this decision making process. Participation in Hall Council is very important. Activities planned by the Hall Council and paid for by the hall dues include hall dinners, theme parties, guest speakers, health awareness programs, study breaks, and skill-building workshops. This organization represents only one of the many ways to get involved in campus living.

What is the most fulfilling part about creating a community? Students should feel as though they belong in a space, and that starts with a supportive community. It's a team effort to create a safe environment. The community I strive to build with students offers acceptance, safety, support, and connection. Seeing residents working together and building connections as their authentic selves is what it's all about.

What is the most fulfilling part about creating a community? The feeling of giving back what was given to me. I’ve been really grateful to have great RAs in the past and I want to be that figure for others in my own way. It’s all coming full circle :)

What is the most fulfilling part about creating a community? What’s most fulfilling about creating a sense of community is knowing that the community you’ve built is strong and stable. Being a part of a strong community unites us together which allows us to know that there are others out there that we can rely on regularly.
