PLUG IN AIR FRESHENERS

Plug In air fresheners are not allowed in hallways, laundry rooms, computer labs, or lounge spaces in the residence halls. Please be mindful that residents, staff, or visitors may have allergies or have a sensitivity to strong fragrances. These items will be removed when found.

COMMON SENSE LIVING TIPS

ONLY flush toilet paper. DO NOT flush towels, Kleenex, feminine hygiene products, flushable wipes or anything else that is not toilet paper. Doing so will clog sewage lines, cause toilets to overflow and backup into your living space. EWWW!
PTAC units in O'Daniel North/South and McDonald West need a minimum of 18" clearance. If any furniture or other items are too close, MOVE them. Blocking the PTAC unit creates an environment for mold and mildew.

TIME CHANGE

The time changes on Sunday, March 10. We will spring forward one hour.

Priority Registration for Fall 2024 is October 25-28. Plan ahead! Log in to myUSI now to check for any holds, review the list of classes being offered, and create a tentative semester schedule. Schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to review your schedule.

CLARIFICATION TO THE 2024-2025 ANIMAL FRIENDLY POLICY

To ensure that we are able to better accommodate the needs of students, we would like to clarify the revisions made to the Animal Friendly Policy for 2024-2025. Animal Friendly areas will be designated in each housing community for students who have been approved to have a pet reside with them in their assigned living space. These areas will be identified during the room selection process.

Please note that this process (approval to have a pet) is separate from the ESA and Service Animals policies that have always been in place in Housing. For more information on the ESA process, please reach out to USI Disabilities Resources or visit Housing Accommodations.

2024-2025 Animal Friendly Application

The application to request to have a pet is on the Housing Portal. In order to access the application, students must not be logged into the Housing Portal. Students should access the Housing Portal from this link, scroll down to the link Register ESA/Start Pet Application. Please note that students who do not have a completed 2024-2025 Housing application will have their Pet application marked as incomplete. Students interested in having a pet living with them in their designated living space should read the Animal Friendly Policy before applying.
