In June the Office of Residence Life sends out Housing Packages to all students who requested in their application that they wish to reside on campus.

The following items are found in every room:

• Bed & Mattress—extra long (36x80)
• Wardrobe or Closet
• Desk and Chair
• Phone w/ access to campus voice mail system
• Micro-Fridge system

Students must fill out and return the Housing Preference Form that is included in the Housing Package. Residence Life begins by matching students based upon the information provided on the Housing Preference Form. Once this has been completed Housing Confirmation Packages go out. Included in the package is the following:

• Roommate Assignments
• Housing Assignments
• Move in schedule
• Welcome Week Schedule
  

Students are matched based on their responses on the housing preference form. Roommate matching is not an exact science; we do our best to place students together. Sometimes things work out and sometimes it does not. If students are requesting a specific roommate, they should do so at the time that they are filling out the Housing Preference Form. Roomate switches may occur after the first two weeks of school.

Students will have an option to live in a Substance Free Living Environment – Samuel Hall 2nd. Substance Free is a place where students can live knowing that all students living on the floor are committed to a Substance Free Life. If a student is found violating the rules of the floor they will be moved to another hall or floor.

All residence halls are smoke-free. Substance-free halls have a zero tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol.

Students requiring special housing needs, due to health and wellness conditions, need to notify the Office of Residence Life to discuss needs.

We ask that all transfer students fill out the Housing Preference Form. Every attempt will be made to place you in upper-class facilities. If space becomes limited we will place you in freshman facilities with another transfer or returning students. Once room becomes available we will move you from your room in freshman housing into upper-class facilities.

Delaware Valley College now supplies a Micro-Fridge Unit in every residence hall room. Students may not bring a microwave or refrigerator with them when they arrive at school. This applies to transfer and returning students. You may still be wondering what is the benefit of a Micro-Fridge Unit; well this unit combines a microwave, a refrigerator and a freezer into one unit. This unit uses less electricity than all three separately, while taking up less space.

Yes, all students’ rooms are equipped with a phone and every student will be given a voice mail box within the campus phone center that can be accessed anywhere on campus. Your phone number will be provided to you when you receive your Housing Assignment.

Yes, all rooms are equipped with computer jacks that will allow students to have access to the campus network. For specifications and questions regarding Information Services please refer to the section in the Orientation Package labeled Information Services.
