- Who is my roommate?
You will be receiving information in the mail in July (for Fall term), telling you who your roommate is;
their home phone and address. Due to the number of cancellations and applications that we continue to receive
right up to check in day, this information may change, and we will update you as needed. In addition, no
specific room numbers will be released until you arrive to check in for Fall Term. For subsequent terms,
room numbers and roommate information will not be released until you arrive to check in.
- What size sheets and linens do I need to bring?
Beds in the halls are 7' 1" in length by 3' 2" wide and all mattresses are 80" long. If you are purchasing linens, you should purchase extra long twins. Many retailers carry extra long sheets. The WOU Residence Hall Association also sponsors the Residence Hall Linens program, where you can purchase extra long sheets, mattress pads and comforters (usually with free shipping, too). Proceeds from this program go back to the RHA and are used for programming and leadership opportunities on campus. Please visit Residence Hall Linens to order.
- Can we have microwaves?
Yes, you can have microwaves. Due to space limitations, we encourage you to call your roommate and discuss
who will bring what so that large items are not duplicated. Keep in mind that because space IS limited, you might want to consider a smaller microwave.
- Do you rent refrigerators?
The University does not have refrigerators available to rent or buy. Refrigerators purchased for use in the
residence halls must be no larger than approximately 20" X 20" X36".
- Where do I get my ID card?
If you did not get your ID card at SOAR, one can be requested during the day, Monday - Friday in the Werner
University Center, at the information desk. There is no charge for the original card. A $15.00 charge must be
paid at the time of request for any subsequent replacement cards.
- Where do I get my meal ticket?
Your meal ticket is actually your student ID card. If your ID card was not encoded for meal service at SOAR,
please go to the University Housing Office. If you don't have an
ID card - or have lost your ID card, a temporary card is available through cashiers in Valsetz and at University Housing and
Campus Dining. Make sure you notify University Housing so your lost card can be made inactive to avoid fradulent use of your card.
- Where do I get my parking permit?
On check in day, Fall Term, University Public Safety will have a table in the Valsetz Dining Hall with parking
permits available for purchase. After that time, parking permits are available on line at: Student Information System (S.I.S.). Or you can pay for and pick up a permit at the Parking Office at
the Cashier's window in the Administration Building, located on Monmouth Avenue accross from the Natural Science
