Greetings from the Director
Dear Student,
The staff of the Department of Housing and Residential Life is excited that you may be joining us in the near future. Living on campus is one of the best ways to get connected quickly at FAU. There are many choices in selecting a room and building. We have a variety of room arrangements and lifestyle options. The Living Learning Communities in Heritage Park Towers are rapidly becoming the place to be! Glades Park Towers is available to new, first-year students and offers specific programs and academic offerings. We welcome upperclass and graduate students to our newest apartments at Innovation Village, offering the comforts of home with the convenience of campus life.
Living on campus is part of your recipe for success. Studies of college and university students across the country have shown that on-campus living increases the success rate of those students. Satisfaction levels, rates of graduation and grades are better for those students who choose to live on campus. Living in a residence hall provides you with a greater opportunity to become involved within your new home, to meet and develop relationships with a wider variety of people, and to develop life skills that will benefit you long after you leave FAU. The Department of Housing and Residential Life is committed to providing a quality living environment that allows you to grow and develop into whoever you wish to be. Start dreaming of your new home here at Florida Atlantic University.
See you soon,
Jill EckardtDirector of Housing

“Living on campus has allowed me to take control of my college experience and
make it one of a kind. Being a resident of the University Village Apartments has
introduced me to a unique living community for upperclassmen, who like myself
want to have a unique college experience. Living in an apartment-style residence
hall is a great opportunity for students to learn how to manage real-world
tasks, such as cooking. After a long day of classes it is great to be able
to come back and relax in the common room that is right in the
apartment.” — Cody J. Kalina

RESIDENCE HALL MEAL PLAN REQUIREMENTS AND OPTIONS
Since our residence halls do not provide adequate cooking facilities for individual and regular food preparation, all students living in University residence halls are required to participate in the Resident Dining program. Each Dining Meal Plan includes a certain number of meals per week, plus two free guest meals per semester. Some of the meal plans also include “Flex Bucks,” each worth one dollar. The Flex Bucks provide you with the ability to eat meals, without needing cash, at any of our on-campus retail dining operations, including the restaurants in the Breezeway Café. The amount of Flex Bucks varies per plan. Flex Bucks expire at the end of each semester.

I HAVE THE FLORIDA PRE-PAID “DORMITORY PLAN.” WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME AT FAU?
When you request a residence hall, you will be given a priority assignment,
provided the completed Housing Contract is returned by
May 1. The “Dormitory Plan” portion of the Florida Pre-Paid College Program covers only the rate for our least expensive double
room in Glades Park Towers or Heritage Park Towers. You may
“upgrade” your requested preferences, but are responsible for paying any
additional costs. You must indicate on your Housing Contract that you are a participant in this plan to get a priority assignment. The “Dormitory Plan” will not cover the $200 deposit.
I HAVE A DISABILITY AND NEED TO REQUEST A SPECIFIC TYPE OF SPACE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A limited number of spaces are designed to be accessible and can
accommodate students with disabilities. The specific
nature of your disability should be
identified so we can work with you to meet your needs and make
F L O R I D A A T L A N T I C U N I V E R S I T Y H O U S I N G A N D R E S I D E N T I A L L I F E C A M P U S L I V I N G
your assignment. You must register with the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD). Specific written documentation will be requested from you and your physician or diagnostician to support the request; that documentation will be evaluated by the OSD staff and recommendations to the Housing Office will be made regarding your needs, the appropriate modifications and assignments. The process of review does take some time. The Housing Office is not able to honor requests for special accommodations without an evaluation from the OSD staff, and you need to complete the Housing Contract and OSD paperwork prior to June 1 for Fall, November 1 for Spring.
I’VE READ THAT ALL ACCOMMODATIONS ARE FURNISHED. WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME WHEN I MOVE IN?
Residents need to provide their own linens, towels, desk lamps, cleaning supplies and trash receptacles. Students may also bring televisions, stereos and computers but may want to wait until they have received their roommate/suitemate assignments to determine their specific needs.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE ON-CAMPUS COMPUTER NETWORK?
ResNet is the high-speed computer network for the FAU residential student community. Itisasharedresource,availableinallon-campus housing locations. ResNet provides access to the World Wide Web, University e-mail accounts, individual student record information as well as access to all FAU online and distance learning materials and information. The campus network is a shared resource and actual transmission
speed from a given workstation will vary depending upon network traffic load. You are provided with your own data port, and in most places within the residence halls, you will be able to access the network wirelessly.
AM I ALLOWED TO BRING PETS TO MY ROOM?
No, you are not allowed to bring pets, other than fish as defined below. All other pets are prohibited. Any cost associated with the possession of an illegal pet will be charged to the responsible resident(s) or to all residents of the room/apartment, (damaged furniture, cleaning, pest control, etc.). Fish may be maintained as pets, as long as they are kept in fish tanks which are no larger than 10 gallons. You are responsible for maintaining the tanks and are responsible for any and all damage caused by the fish or the tank. Feeding of stray or wild animals is prohibited.
AM I ALLOWED TO PAINT MY ROOM?
