In compliance with the conditions outlined in your lease, you need to maintain tenant/home insurance throughout the lease term. This insurance should cover your personal belongings and provide civil liability protection for potential damage or injury to others.

You can fulfill this requirement by getting an independent policy like tenant insurance or student rental insurance. Additionally, consider reaching out to your parents’ homeowner’s insurance provider to see if they can extend the coverage to you

A room key and a mail box key will be provided to you when you move in. You must return both keys at the end of the lease. If you misplace your keys during the lease, you can let us know and we will provide you with a replacement. There is a fee of $25 for each replacement key.

All of our Residence buildings require an access card to open the entry door. Our Campus Safety team will be available at the move in to issue your card. If you are not present at the move in, a member of the team will direct you to the nearest campus safety office to obtain your card. A fee of $23 will be applied to your student account for the access card.

Keep in mind that unfortunately we cannot accept mail or other deliveries before you move in, meaning they will be returned to sender.
