Maintenance Request. When possible we respond within 24 hours (light bulbs, smoke detectors, clogs) but for more involved things it could take up to 72 hours. If has been more than 72 hours and we haven't responded call or email Residence Life to check on the status. Please note that if you submit over the weekend or during a break, it will take longer since we are closed. If it is an emergency (water flowing unchecked is ALWAYS an emergency!!!) please call security on the weekends.

All bedrooms come with a twin extra long bed, desk, chair, wardrobe or closet, and dresser.  

College Place: only your bedroom furniture and a microwave and refrigerator are provided. You and your roommates will need to provide any common area furniture you want to bring.

For mini refrigerators, please make sure they are less than 3 feet tall and/or no larger than 4.6 cubic feet.  Common area kitchens have full-size refrigerators as well.

No, air conditioners are provided in the buildings where they are allowed, in the spaces they are allowed. If your room does not have an air conditioner there is a reason. Students found in violation of this will have their air conditioner confiscated and will be subject to the judicial process for rule violations.

The Center for Student Leadership/Student Union Building handles all ID cards. Please visit them when you are on campus to get it. You will need to have your ID card before any office can talk to you about your account, and to use your meal plan, so make sure you have this as soon as possible.

There is free, unsecured wifi on campus for all guests to use, when you visit please ask any staff member about how to access it. Once you move in there is free, secured wifi for all students to use. During high usage times, for example finals, LCSC IT will prioritize Internet bandwidth use, the priority is academic sites first, and entertainment sites second (ie, Netflix, HULU, etc).

Cable is not provided, as nearly all students use wifi to access streaming sites now.

Your parking permit may be purchased from the Public Safety Office which is located on the main floor of Meriwether Lewis Hall (MLH). You will need your driver's license and car license plate number for the permit. You will need to first complete the form on the Security website, once that is done, the site will give you a confirmation number to give the security office.

NO - AQUARIUM FISH are the only pets allowed in the residence halls. We do not allow any turtles, frogs, hermit crabs or any other aquarium living pet.
