General Information ROOM ASSIGNMENTS, ROOM CHANGES AND SUITEMATES In some cases, suitemate information and assignments may change due to unforeseen needs for relocation as determined by the Department of Housing and Residential Life. Should this occur, we make every attempt to contact you as soon as we are aware of a change. To request a room change, you may complete a room transfer request form, beginning on August 17. These forms are available in the area office of your hall.

CONTACTING YOUR ROOMMATE FOR THE FIRST TIME Meeting and living with your new roommate is an exciting event that can enhance your college experience. The key to every relationship, including the one with your roommate and suitemates, is communication! We encourage you to contact your new roommate as soon as you receive contact information. The two main things you want to do in this initial conversation are to introduce yourself and to provide some information about your likes and dislikes. This is also the time to discuss and coordinate with your roommate what items to bring. It is natural to feel a little apprehensive about speaking with a new roommate for the first time. You will find that it is easier if you can be upbeat, positive and respectful of your roommate’s right to his or her opinions, and to expect some differences. The most important goal of the conversation should be to establish solid communication between your roommate and yourself, so that you have a base to build on when move-in day arrives. Some topics to get you started might include: • Favorite music, food, movies or TV shows •Your planned major or classes that you’ll be taking at FAU • What each of you will bring; TV, computer, refrigerator, microwave, etc. • Your FAU email address to stay in touch over the summer

General Information General Information

PEOPLE YOU WILL MEET Knowing where to go and who to talk to is an important first step toward making your experience at FAU as rewarding as possible. There is an extensive network of people awaiting your arrival. In the Department of Housing and Residential Life, the most important people to know include: YOUR RESIDENT ASSISTANT (RA) is a student, just like you, who is specifically selected and trained to work with other students to establish a sense of community for you and residents who live around you. The RA is a great resource person who can help answer questions regarding the University and surrounding communities. Your RA can assist with roommate conflicts, maintenance concerns and other issues of interest. Throughout the year, RAs will plan various programs and activities with, and for, the residents. Also, an RA is on duty each night and during weekends. YOUR RESIDENT COORDINATOR (RC) lives in your area, oversees the administration of your community and supervises the RA staff and area office staff. The RCs are full-time, professionally trained staff who provide guidance and direction to your community and the facility. THERE ARE SIX AREA OFFICES located in the University Village Apartments, Innovation Village Apartments North, Innovation Village Apartments South, Indian River Towers, Heritage Park Towers (this Area Office also serves the residents in Algonquin) and Glades Park Towers. An Area Secretary, in your area office, works Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is ready to assist you with any administrative needs and general questions. Area offices are staffed by students during the evening and weekend hours. AREA SECRETARIES are full-time professional staff members who oversee the operation of the Area Office; including the oversight of room occupancy, room condition reports and keys. They can issue a TAG key, provide housing information and assist you with submitting work orders and addressing facility concerns. Area Secretaries assist the Resident Coordinator with the overall administration of the facility. SENIOR CLERKS are full-time professional staff members who oversee the operation of the Mail Center; including the selling of stamps and distribution of mail and packages requiring signature.

w w w. fau. ed u /ho us i ng LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Research shows that students who are involved in at least one University organization are more likely to graduate than those who are not. Several organizations and leadership opportunities exist for you in the Housing and Residential Life community. Take a look at them and get involved. Community Councils operate in each of the residential living areas: • Apartment Community Council (ACC) For University Village Apartment residents

• Algonquin Hall Community Council (AHCC) For Algonquin Hall residents • Heritage Park Community Council (HPCC) For Heritage Park Towers residents

• Towers Community Council (TCC) For Indian Rivers Towers residents

• Glades Park Community Council (GCC) For Glades Park Towers residents

• Innovation North Community Council (INCC) For Innovation Village North residents

• Innovation South Community Council (ISCC) For Innovation Village South residents

These groups meet on a bi-weekly basis and identify social, educational, recreational and cultural needs for programs and activities that are organized throughout the year. Each floor/ area has a representative who will attend meetings for their specific council and assist in making decisions and planning events. Each council is a contributing member to the Resident Student Association. The Resident Student Association (RSA) is the overall governing body for all students in University Housing. The RSA plans events, advocates for students and recommends improvements to the on-campus experience. Each community council holds voting rights and privileges at RSA meetings. RSA meetings are held every Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the Nations Multi-Purpose Room. Meetings are open to all students who live on campus. The RSA is an active member of state, regional and national organizations. Students attend meetings and conferences throughout the year in a variety of locations across the country. The RSA office is located on the 2nd floor of Indian River Towers (RSAfau@gmail.com).

General Information

GUIDEBOOK The University Housing Guidebook outlines residential policies and expectations in your community. You will receive a copy of the Guidebook when you check in. Please be sure to review this information, as you will be held responsible for the expectations in the Guidebook. It can also be found at http://www.fau.edu/ housing/Guide_Book.pdf. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to attend a floor/area meeting for the residents on your floor or in your area. The dates and times will be posted on the floors or in the laundry rooms. The purpose of this meeting is to get to know those living around you, meet your RA and get a basic introduction to University Housing and its policies and procedures. It is also a chance to ask the student staff any questions you may have.

COURTESY PHONES Each residence hall floor has a courtesy phone located either in the floor lounge or by the elevator. In University Village apartments, courtesy phones are located at the entrances. In Innovation Village Apartments courtesy phones are located on each floor and in the lobbies.

CABLE TELEVISION Each suite or apartment is wired and provides basic cable television. Those who wish to take advantage of this service should bring a cable-ready television and a cable cord with them. Students residing in Innovation Village Apartments have the option of upgrading their cable package by contracting with Comcast.

LAUNDRY Washers and dryers are available for use by FAU residents only. The cost is $1 for each wash and $1 for each 30-minute drying cycle. You may use quarters or deposit money into a debit account (at the Owl Card Center) and use your student I.D. card on our card-reader system, available at most laundry sites. The Innovation Village Apartments North include washer and dryer in each apartment.

w w w. fau. ed u /ho us i ng COMPUTER CONNECTIONS Free, high-speed access is provided in your residence hall or apartment suite. In addition to wireless internet in all the halls and apartments each bed has its own wired network connection. Any current computer with a network or WiFi card will be able to get online. More information on how to connect to wireless at FAU can be found at: www.fau.edu/irm/wireless
