ROOM INSPECTION FORM
The Move-In Room Inspection Form must be completed within 72 hours of your check-in date. When you fill out the Move-In Room Inspection Form it indicates that you have inspected your room and gives you the opportunity to record the condition and add comments about the condition of your room upon check-in.
What You Need to Know
COMMUNITY CENTER BASKETBALL COURT
Work to upgrade the basketball court at the Community Center has begun. The work will take 7-12 business days, weather permitting. We anticipate it to be completed on or around September 4. There will be cones and construction tape up around the court. We ask that students avoid this area during that time.
INTERNET
USI provides wireless and wired internet access in housing. For information on how to connect to both, please visit Information Technology. Residents should bring their own ethernet cord. Students are welcome to use their preferred streaming services and devices to watch favorite shows, movies, etc.
LIVING WITH A ROOMMATE
Living with a roommate can be a complicated endeavor, whether it’s your first time or your final year. At some point, you and your roommate are probably going to find yourselves in conflict, and that’s okay. Navigating conflicts is not only going to be part of your journey as a roommate, but an inevitable part of life. The good news is USI has implemented steps to help you work through conflict in an appropriate manner. It is important to recognize conflict as an opportunity for growth. Learn more
MAILING ADDRESS AND PICKING UP MAIL/PACKAGES
All packages and postal mail are delivered to the HRL office. It is important that residents understand the process to avoid having mail or packages returned to sender. To learn about mail and packages, visit our website.
PARKING PERMITS
Housing residents must register their vehicle online. Parking regulations will be in effect the first day of the fall semester. During fall and spring semesters, housing residents may not park in campus lots between 7:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday-Friday, on days when classes are in session. If you have not picked up your permit, you must pick it up at the Parking office.
PTAC UNITS IN MCDONALD WEST, O'DANIEL NORTH AND SOUTH
The thermostat for units is set on each computer to go NO lower than 68 degrees. The digital display will go as low as 61 degrees but the actual unit will not function any lower than 68 degrees so please do not set units any lower than this. This will cause them to lock up and freeze. 

Please do not set the air conditioner to the lowest cool setting and allow to operate for extended periods of time. This will cause condensation to form on the walls around the unit. There must be 18” clearance around the entire unit in order for it to function properly.
TOILETS
Please only flush toilet paper. Flushing hand towels, paper towels, Kleenex, feminine hygiene products will cause sewage lines to clog, resulting in toilets to overflow. These types of products should be thrown away in the garbage for your safety and convenience.
