Resident Hall Handbook

PROCEDURES & SERVICES

Food may be stored in the refrigerator, but the University assumes no liability for spoilage and theft. Periodically, the refrigerators are cleaned with notice; any unclaimed food and containers will be disposed of. Lounge spaces are also located through each hall, on floors, and in basements for studying and socializing. Furniture may not be removed from lounge spaces. Be respectful of others when using the space. LAUNDRY Each residence hall has a laundry room equipped with washers and dryers that may be operated with a resident’s Stout Blue Card or mobile cre dential. All laundry services are included within the room fees and therefore residents will not pay per load. Residents must provide their own detergent, dryer sheets, etc. Do not leave your laundry unattended as the University does not assume responsibility for lost or stolen items. Please be respectful of others’ laundry and allow residents a reasonable amount of time to retrieve their items after a load is complete. MAIL AND PACKAGES While classes are in session, students will receive packages to their residence hall front desk. Oversized packages may be picked up at the Housing Office in 170 Price Commons. Mail for residents living on Main Campus is distributed at the Price Commons while North Campus residents receive their mail at their residence hall front desk. LAUNDRY VIEW

Students will be sent an email from the univer sity when their package is ready to be picked up. Carrier delivery emails indicate the university has received your package but it is not yet at your front desk. Students will need to present their Stout Blue Card to receive their packages. Mass mailings are limited to essential information from the University. Mass campus mailings will be processed for a fee—contact University Housing at 715-232-1121 or housing@uwstout.edu for more information. Students leaving the residence halls can update their mailing address by logging into Access Stout, clicking on ‘Self Service’, then on ‘Student Center’ to have their mail forwarded to a different address. Mailings that are not University business must be processed through regular mail services with paid postage. MAINTENANCE REQUESTS For routine maintenance, log on to the Housing Gateway and click on ‘Maintenance Request’. Emergency maintenance items should be reported to the front desk or an RA. Students may request maintenance for problems in their room or in pub lic areas. If you submit a maintenance request, be sure to have the area that needs attention cleared and ready for staff to complete maintenance. A request for maintenance indicates permission for a maintenance staff member to enter a student’s room, however, Housing staff will always knock before entering.
