Resident Hall Handbook

COMPUTER CONNECTIONS AND PRINTERS Each residence hall room is equipped with 1 or 2 high-speed Ethernet ports. Students can use an Ethernet cable to connect to the jack or connect wirelessly. Both internet connections provide 100 Mbps of connection to the network. Students using wireless should use the Eduroam network. Eduroam provides users with encrypted, secure, high-speed internet access for laptops and other personal devices. StoutNonSecure can be used if your device is unable to connect to Eduroam. StoutNonSecure is a non-broadcasted and unsecured network. The first login will require users to enter the wireless network name, which is ‘StoutNonSecure’. StoutGuest network is intended for university guests. It is an unsecured network with limited data rates and allows only http and https protocols. It also requires users to re-authenticate every 4 hours. This network is not intended for use by faculty, staff, or students. All halls have printing stations located at the front desk of the building. Printers and paper are provided for use by residents. Black and white duplex printing is free of charge, and single sided and color printing is available for a small fee via your student ID card. For assistance, contact the Technology Help Desk (715-232-5000). MOVE-IN & CHECK-IN/OUT Move-In All move-in instructions for students are communicated to them via their UW-Stout email. Check-In When changing rooms throughout the academic year, residents will check-in to their new room by

going to the front desk. Here you will get your new keys and can begin the move. Be sure to complete your new room inspection form in the Housing Gateway immediately. Once everything is out of your old room, check-out at the front desk of that hall. Check-Out Whenever a resident checks out of their room, the room should be left in the condition in which it was found. This means that all personal belongings are removed, furnishings returned to their original locations, and room is cleaned. Room set-ups may be found on your residence hall webpage, linked on the Hall Information page of the handbook. Once this has been completed, go to the front desk to check-out. University Housing Staff will go with you to inspect the room. Failure to follow the process will result in an improper check-out fee, in addition to being assessed for any damages. Residents will be charged for any damages to walls, ceiling, carpet, furniture, and missing items that are found by hall staff, including student staff and custodial staff. ROOM CHANGE Students may request a room change throughout the semester by logging onto the Housing Gateway. However, during the first three weeks of each semester and during any University Housing sanctioned room freeze, room switches are not permitted. Additionally, students will have the ability to make room changes for spring semester in early December when University Housing offers the Room Change Process. Students will receive information via email about this process or can ask a Housing staff member. If a room change is made at any time, see the ‘Move-In, Check-In, and Check Out’ section in this handbook to learn more about the move and watch your email for more information.
