PARENTS!

Hopefully, the links on this page will provide you with the information and resources you will need to help you as you mentor your student through the academic year and into their future! If you are still unable to find what you need, see our Housing Basics webpage, or please feel free to contact University Housing & Campus Dining with your request.




INSIGHTS - University Housing Newsletter


Whether you are a parent, family member or friend of a current resident looking for information on just exactly what your student or friend and the community that they live and learn in is up to this current year. Or you are a parent or family member of a student who will be attending WOU (and living on campus) in the coming year(s) and are curious about what life in the residence halls might look like for your student. If it is information you are after, Insights, the University Housing newsletter, will be a good place to start.


Insights should do just that - give you some insight into the programs, information, and timelines that will work to shape your student and their experience while living on campus at Western Oregon University. As issues become available, they will be posted quarterly here.


CURRENT MAILINGS

Mailings listed directly below are mailings that have gone out to our CURRENT RESIDENTS.

RECONTRACTING INFO RECONTRACTING INFORMATION - Information for any current resident interested in living on-campus again for the coming academic year.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT MAILINGS

Once your student has applied for housing, you should receive a confirmation letter from University Housing letting you know that we are in receipt of your completed housing application and housing application fee. After that, you should not expect to receive further information from the housing department until May when we will send out the first of three main mailings that the housing department generates.
