Yes. During the housing application process, you will have the opportunity to search for a roommate or select a roommate you know if they have already applied. Both roommates must select each other and be "confirmed roommates" for the assignment to be made.

  • When are guests/visitors allowed in the room?
  • How will residents get permission from roommates?
  • Where and how will messages be left if someone stops by?

  • What is not okay to borrow without asking?
  • What shared belongings do we have (e.g. refrigerator, microwave)? How will we share them?
  • If you are not in the room, can a guest sit on your bed?
• Handling Conflict
  • How will we as adults handle conflict?
    • Amongst ourselves
      • We should first openly and honestly speak with each other and attempt to work out concerns.
    • With a member of the Dorm Staff
      • If we need a little more guidance, we will reach out to our RA as soon as we can.

If you are a new student/first-time resident, we will notify you after July 1, 2024, for fall 2024, and January 1, 2025, for spring 2025. Notification will be mailed to your address on file and sent to your email account. 

• More details about the move-in process are available on the Move-In Day Koinonia page. 

If you are a new student/first-time resident assigned to an early-arriving sport, we will confirm your participation with your coach and notify you after July 1, 2024, of your hall/room assignment for fall 2024 and January 1, 2025, for spring 2025. Notification will be sent to your WBU email account. 

If you are a returning student, the dorms reopen for you on Sunday, August 18, 2024, at 1:00 pm for fall 2024 and Monday, January 13, 2025, for spring 2025.  Check-in concludes at 5:00 pm that day. Should you need to arrive at another time, you need to contact the Housing Office during regular business hours or your RHS at least 48 hours before your arrival so we can schedule staff to meet you.

Students can request changes for Fall terms within their Housing/eRezLife portal until August 1st. After this, due to the number of assignments that must be made and the process involved, all residents will stay in their assigned rooms until the residence halls open. After the halls open, we will work with you to make room and roommate changes, as space allows. You can submit the online room or hall change request form once we have determined our availability for changes. Information regarding this process will be sent to your WBU email account.

How do I select a meal plan and is a meal plan required?

You will select a meal plan in your Housing Application. Students residing on campus are required to purchase a University meal plan (10 Meal Plan (160) minimum). We recommend the All Access Plan.

There is no refund or adjustment in the amounts due for meals not eaten in the dining hall by the student's own choice. 

FY- 24-25 Sodexo Meal plans.pdf

How can I change my meal plan?

Meal plans may be changed without an exemption through the last class day of the Second week of classes, assuming the student qualifies for the selected meal plan. If the student does not qualify for the selected meal plan due to the established meal plan requirement, they must apply for and be approved through a Meal Plan Exemption.  Exemptions are approved through the Disability Services Office. Contact them by email at araujor@wbu.edu and by phone at 806 291-1057 or visit our DSO information page here.

How can I lower my housing and meal plan expenses?

• Residence halls are priced at various levels in an effort to meet the needs of all students. Students should select halls based on what they can afford. At times a student selects a hall through the application process and is assigned to that hall before realizing that s/he does not have the finances to live in that hall. Each semester, Residential Living helps students in this situation, which might include moving the student to a less expensive hall.

 What happens if I decide not to attend?

• For returning students, a written request has to be submitted to the student housing office for processing. A written cancellation notice is required prior to August 1 for the fall semester, prior to December 1 for the spring semester, and prior to April 1 for the summer session for full refund eligibility. For first-time students, a notice of cancellation has to be received prior to the first day of classes for full refund eligibility. Prorated refunds are eligible after these dates based on the university refund policy 3.2.4.

When do I get my housing deposit back?

• When you check out of the halls for the final time, you will fill out paperwork enabling you to have your deposit partially refunded. As long as a resident qualifies to live off campus and doesn't have any disciplinary holds, hasn't damaged property, checks out properly, cleans the room, and cancels before the cancellation deadlines, they are eligible for a partial refund of their housing deposit within 6-8 weeks after the cancellation request is approved.
• If a resident moves out of the dormitory during the semester and defaults on the housing contract, the deposit is forfeited.

What if I want a Private Room?

• Private Rooms are assigned as availability allows. Residents will be assigned roommates based on answers from the Housing Application. Private Rooms are charged $500 as of Census Day each 16-week term to anyone who is in a room without a roommate. Private Rooms are not guaranteed from one term to the next. Wayland reserves the right to assign roommates without prior notice as listed in your Occupancy License Agreement in the Housing Application.

What if I have or need an Accommodation for the dorm?

• The WBU Student Disability Services office provides assistance and accommodations to students with disabilities.

  Wayland is committed to providing all students with equal access to quality education. In addition to serving as an advocate for students with disabilities, our office also works closely with faculty and staff members in order to monitor students' progress and encourage a positive educational experience.

What type of security exists in the residence halls?

• We make every effort to create a safe living environment for all residents. Our residence halls are equipped with an electronic card access system to provide monitored access to the halls.

Emergency procedures are addressed each semester with the residents. Students are encouraged to lock their doors when they're away from their rooms, prevent tailgating into the hall (letting someone follow you into the entrance without swiping their WBU Card), and report any suspicious activity to residence hall staff and/or UPD.

• Laundry is provided in each building. Only residents of the hall are permitted to use laundry machines. Laundry machines are for resident's personal use only. 
• Laundry is app-based so you will not need quarters. Dorm Residents will pay a $50 fee for each 16-week term for a set number of loads. If you need more loads, you pay through the app. Student Family Housing residents pay $1.50 per wash/dry load.
• Instructions for downloading and using the app are sent out to each resident at the start of each 16-week term and posted in each laundry room.

Resident Assistants are student staff that live among the residents and they are responsible for creating programming and peer counseling in their living areas. The hall staff provides assistance to students 24 hours a day.

What would I do if I got locked out of the residence halls at night?

• A night duty staff member is on call Monday through Thursday nights from 9 p.m. until 8 a.m., and on weekends, a staff member is on call from 1 p.m. on Friday until 8 a.m. on Monday. For students requiring daytime assistance during the week, daytime desk hours vary by hall.

If I have problems in my residence hall, what should I do?

• You are encouraged to contact the Resident Assistant or Residence Hall Supervisor in your hall. These individuals will be able to assist you. If you need additional information, you are welcome to contact the Housing Office and we will assist you in finding answers or solving problems.

Can I stay in the halls over the holiday break?

• While not recommended, students are allowed to stay in the halls over some holidays for a fee of $20 per day. All students staying over a break need to sign up in the Housing Office. There is no charge to stay in the hall over Thanksgiving, Easter, or Spring Break. Students staying over Christmas break or between semesters will be required to pay in advance. These nights are not covered in the standard semester rate. Students should also be aware that they may be required to relocate to a designated residence hall for the duration of the break. See the Academic Calendar for Cafeteria operations during breaks.
