I will be bringing my car with me to campus. How
do I get a parking permit, and how much will it cost?
To purchase a Resident parking pass, please
contact Parking & Transportation Services. Permits are purchased
in advance and may be picked up from the Parking &
Transportation Services office when you arrive on campus. Please
consult the Parking Services
website for more information on hours of operation and rates.
Internal applicants (those
students who are returning to residence) will have priority
parking which will be assigned based on the date you applied to
Parking & Transportation Services for your pass.
Renewal of parking permits is not
automatic. You still need to apply for parking online, or by
going in person to Parking & Transportation Services in College
West room 108.
I would like to move in earlier than the date
specified in my letter of offer. How do I apply to do so?

Your room does include a telephone (in apartment
style suites, there is one phone in the suite, not in each room).

I would
like as a roommate?
Roommate requests will be accommodated when
possible, and only if all parties put each other down on their

information to you regarding your new roommate. You will meet
your roommate on move-in day.
What if I do
not like the room I have been assigned?
You can request a
room change to a different room (the
office staff will notify you when they are accepting room change requests).
Room changes are subject to availability of the room type requested.
Will my $200 deposit be refunded if I do not attend the University of
