Each resident is issued a key for their room and mailbox (if applicable) for their own personal use. Loss of either key should be reported as soon as possible by filling out the appropriate form.
After completing the form, follow the payment link on the confirmation page and make the payment. The fee is $30 per key.
Key Policy: Once you fill out the lost key form, you are agreeing to pay $30 for each lost key. We will not order you a new key until the $30 payment is received. 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? The most fulfilling thing about creating a sense of community is the endless bonds and joy you see around the residence hall. I love that I am able to create a nurturing and positive space for the residents. Especially being in a freshman dorm where residents are creating that home away from home!

What is the most fulfilling part about creating a community? Creating a sense of community is similar to legos. Legos are insanely satisfying because you literally build something from the ground up. In the dorm halls in August you start with nothing and no one wants to talk or chitchat. But by the end of the first semester you have loads of residents practically running to you to chat while you’re at desk.

What is the most fulfilling part about creating a community? Watching budding friendships at programs in the first few weeks of move in and then seeing former residents continue to be friends even after they’ve moved out of the building is super fulfilling!
