Residence halls and certain Greek houses are closed during Fall, Thanksgiving, Spring Break and between semesters. Apartments and Theme Houses do not close during holiday or break periods. Residence Life Staff will be on all-campus duty to provide for basic services, security, and care during these periods. Information about holiday housing will be sent to all residence hall residents approximately two or three weeks prior to each vacation period. Residence hall students needing this service must be approved by Residence Life and will have charges billed directly to their student account. Students with any questions about holiday/break housing should contact the Department of Residence Life. Consult the Residence Life calendar online for dates of breaks and hall closings on the Important Dates page.
Cafeteria Services
The cafeteria in Pfeiffer Dining Hall is under the management of Sodexho Food Services. The Food Service Office is located on the southeast side of Pfeiffer Dining Hall. Inquiries can be made by calling extension x1686. Or, visit their website by clicking Dining Services.
Sodexho serves three hot meals a day, six days a week in Pfeiffer Dining Hall. Only brunch and dinner are served on Saturdays. You will have a varied and balanced menu to choose from, including entrees, side dishes, soup, salad bar, desserts, ice cream, beverages and a grill line. Students can also visit the Storm Street Grill in the Brenton Student Center to spend your flex dollars or to transfer meals.
Students living in the residence halls, apartments or theme houses are required to have either a full (20 meals/week), Part (14 meals/week), or 12-Flex (12 meals/week + $200 flex/semester) meal plan. Residents of the apartments, theme houses, or Greek houses may opt for the 6-flex meal plan (with $50 flex/semester) since they all have access to kitchens. Each resident student will be issued a proximity card (same thing as a student ID) which they will use to eat at the dining hall. If you lose or damage it, you must report it immediately to the Office of Student Development. A replacement card can be purchased for $15.
Your Prox (ID) card is yours and yours alone. No one else may use it under any circumstances, even if you don’t use it for a particular meal. The proximity card food system helps our food services prepare the right amount of food at each meal, which, in turn, helps us keep our on-campus living costs to a minimum.

Custodial Services
The custodians in your living area do a great deal to make your building a comfortable and pleasant place in which to live.

Unwanted large items, such as boxes and carpeting, must be taken directly to the dumpster. Do not leave garbage outside your door. Do not sweep dirt into the hallways or stairwells. All residential facilities have vacuum cleaners and basic cleaning supplies available for your use.
Laundry Facilities
Each residence hall, apartment building, and Greek house has a laundry facility for your use. Washers and dryers are provided in a convenient location. Both washers and dryers are coin-operated (currently it's $1 to wash and $.75 to dry). Work orders for malfunctioning machines or refunds for lost coins should be reported to your CA, HA, SHC, AC or preferably, the Director of Residence Life. Or, click here to send an email.
Dyes of any kind are not permitted in washing machines. For the convenience of other students and the safety of your property, clothes should not be left unattended.
Parking
Parking for students is available in several lots located on campus. All students operating a motorized vehicle must register their vehicle with the Office of Security, purchase a parking decal, and display that decal properly before utilizing parking lots. To visit the Department of Security's parking website click here.
Pianos/Musical Instruments
Most of the halls have pianos that are available for your use. You are expected to respect the rights of others when using any musical instruments. Pianos or other musical instruments cannot be used after Quiet Hours.
Programming
Programming in the residence halls, apartments, theme houses and Greek houses is a comprehensive venture planned and implemented by your residence life staff and hall/apartment councils. The purpose of many of the activities is to provide an opportunity for you to be exposed to knowledge and new ideas. If you have ideas for your floor or building feel free to pass them on to your CA, HA, SHC, or Area Coordinator. We like hearing your ideas!
