Living Guide
The University Housing Living Guide is a resource that provides important information regarding Housing policies, resources on campus, and much more. For questions you may have that are not answered here, please contact your Resident Assistant or any other Housing professional staff member. One of our goals is to equip our residents with the tools they need to be successful members of their community. The Living Guide will help provide resources to get you there.
