Campus Life

Residence hall EnvironmentCWU residence halls are like our classrooms—small and personable—allowing you to meet and know most of the people living in them.

The dynamics of each residence hall are unique, and the people who live in them help make CWU a diverse and vibrant community. Programs offered within each residence hall are fun and entertaining. In the past, group activities have included floating the Yakima River, ice-skating, bowling, inner tubing, horseback riding, intramural sports, game nights, karaoke, and attending stage productions and professional sporting events. Residence halls also organize cooperative events, giving students the opportunity to meet new people and have new experiences.

CWU considers residence hall living one of the most valuable learning experiences of a student’s educational career. Programming also addresses student development and academic enhancement. Effective programming can positively impact a student’s university experience. For this to happen, our efforts are intentional and reflect variety, balance, and flexibility.

CWU’s residence halls offer a variety of attractive and complete housing and dining packages including traditional, renovated, and new residence halls. The residence halls house between 35 and 476 occupants and include furniture, microfridges, expanded FM/Tv cable services including Showtime®, Internet hook-up, basic telephone services, utilities, and coin-operated laundry facilities. In addition, many halls have their own pool table, piano, ping-pong table, and Tv lounges. All residence halls and university buildings are smoke-free.

Residence hall StaffOur well-trained, supportive, and understanding residence hall staff is part of the team working to create a comfortable living and learning environment. Many professional and paraprofessional staff members combine their efforts to meet this commitment. Our staff includes residence hall coordinators who are full-time professional staff. In addition, our paraprofessional full-time student staff includes residence hall managers, resident assistants, and community programmers.

Hall staff members facilitate the development of the community in the residence halls and serve as a resource for residents. All professional and undergraduate staff participate in an extensive two-week fall training and ongoing training throughout the year.

Live-in RequirementIf you are single and a first-year student enrolled in seven college credits or more, under the age of 20, and not planning to live locally with your parents or certain relatives, you must live in a CWU residence hall for one academic year regardless of the number of college credits you have earned (WAC 106-156-010 and WAC 106-156-011).

Running Start students, regardless of class standing, are also required to live on campus for one year. Students requesting an exception to the policies must apply for an exception through University Housing and New Student Programs, located in button Hall in advance of the quarter.

Residence hall Contract information

5

Residence hall AssignmentThe room and board contract is contingent upon the applicant’s academic admission to Central Washington University and maintenance of enrolled status with a minimum of seven quarter hours. Current students are given priority for room and board choices.

At the beginning of spring quarter, new students will have the opportunity to choose their residence hall rooms for fall quarter. Prior to choosing your room, it is required that the signed contract and deposit be received at CWU. Students that have submitted the contract and deposit prior to spring quarter will be notified of the opportunity first. As contracts and deposits are received during spring quarter, students will be notified of this opportunity. Notification of your opportunity will be sent on your CWU email account. It is important that you activate your Safari account and that you check your CWU email account regularly and frequently.

If you do not choose your room or your contract and deposit are received after June 1, assignments will be made by the computer, with priority given to roommate request, then to room type, and finally to area. housing is guaranteed for new students who return their paperwork and pay the deposit before June 1. After June 1, students submitting their room and board contract and fees will be assigned a room on a space-available basis. if you must terminate your contract prior to the beginning of the term, refer to section 15D of the terms and conditions of the room and board contract for nonrefundable cancellation fees.

Approximately one to two months before fall quarter begins, students will receive their residence hall assignment letters with the payment schedule for the upcoming quarter. For winter and spring quarters, this information is sent a couple of weeks prior to the beginning of the quarter.

The $200 housing deposit will be kept on the student’s account until the student no longer lives on campus.

Procedure for Requesting a RoommateSharing a room provides the opportunity for developing new friendships. Students occupying a double or triple occupancy room and paying the corresponding rate may choose a roommate or be assigned roommates. If you wish to room with a friend(s), all roommates should send their deposits and room and board contract forms in the same package. List each other as roommates and write each other’s student identification numbers in the spaces provided on the application. You may request a roommate when choosing your room electronically; however, the roommate must have a deposit and contract at CWU in order for the roommate to agree to the request. be sure all roommates are in agreement with the program and hall preferences so that if you do not choose your room on line, we are still able to assign you together. Students requesting roommates must have their requests submitted by June 1.

If you do not have a roommate preference, CWU will assign a roommate(s) based on application information, program registration, and deposit. Many of our students come from diverse international communities and provide an excellent opportunity for an especially rewarding roommate experience. If this possibility is desirable to you, be sure to indicate the international roommate option on the room and board contract under roommate preference.

CWU attempts to honor all requests as space permits in the hall and program of your choice. However, we are unable to guarantee a particular type of roommate or residence hall.

ContractThe academic-year contract offers room and board for the entire academic year and your commitment is for the full term of the contract. Exceptions include participation in an approved off-campus academic program such as student teaching or an internship. if you terminate an academic contract during the academic year, you are subject to liquidating charges and fees in accordance with section #15B of the room and board contract.

First-year students, including Running Start students, are required to live on campus for one academic year and to have a meal plan.

Living Learning Communities

cwu.edu

What is a Living Learning Community?Here at Central Washington University being part of a community is about making connections with others who have common interests. Community is about getting involved and contributing to something larger than yourself. living learning Communities (llCs) at Central Washington University bridge students’ academic interests and goals with their residence hall living experience.

Students with common academic interests live together in the same residence hall and develop personal and academic relationships with other students and faculty from a field of study. Students participate in out of classroom enrichment activities that support their academic pursuits. As noted below, some llCs are connected to specific courses that students take together. Active participation is required to live in an LLC.

Why do students get involved?First-year and returning students enjoy living in an llC because they live with students with similar interests and common academic pursuits. It provides them with opportunities to live, learn, and grow together in an environment where faculty and residence hall staff collaborates to create an environment supportive of students’ academic pursuits.

Do students receive additional benefits from living in a LLC?National research has shown that students living in CWU’s llCs:• Engage more in class and have better academic

performance• Have a greater sense of collegiality• Are more engaged with their education and personal

development• Have increased intercultural experiences• Have greater exposure to positive social environments• Are more connected to the University and resources

LLC Advisory Stakeholder MeetingsEach living learning Community will hold monthly advisory stakeholder meetings made up of faculty, staff, and students living in the community. These stakeholders create future curriculum, market the events of the program, and assess educational outcomes and goals of the program.

* Please note that this will be no more than one to three courses per quarter and will fit general Education requirements unless otherwise noted.** Students accepted into the Aviation, S.T.E.P. or DHC programs will be advised on course offerings through the appropriate program coordinator. Students who do not enroll in required courses may be moved from the llC residence halls during fall quarter.
