Release of Information

Due to FERPA regulations, in order for us to assist family members with questions about their student’s housing and financial information, the student must submit a Release of Housing Assignment and Financial Information Form to the Housing Office.

Check-In

Check-in occurs at the residence hall that you will be living in.

Residents are required to check-in at designated times and dates, or spaces may be reassigned. When students check-in, they will receive keys, a room inventory form, and other pertinent information. Students planning to check-in after the designated check-in period are required to notify The Housing Office of their late arrival.

Hurricane Procedures

In the event a hurricane warning is declared by the University, all residents will be directed to evacuate the residence halls. In the event of a hurricane emergency, Bay Vista Housing will be closed and all residents who require shelter will be evacuated to the University Park campus. Residents must abide by shelter policies and remain until the University withdraws the emergency order.

Pest Control

Professional exterminators spray all units monthly in order to control pests. When a continual or extreme problem exists, residents should contact fill out a Work Order using RMS.

"Stay-In Place" Policy

Implemented in the event the University declares an emergency (severe weather warning, threat to air quality, etc.) which requires all residents to remain in the Residence Halls. Residential Life staff and the University Police will advise students to remain within their assigned unit. Once the order is given to "Stay-In Place"' residents will not be permitted to exit the building until the threat is lifted.
