Roomers: Fall 2024 Arrival Survival Guide
Welcome to Marquette!The Residence Life staff and the entire 蜜桃影像 community are looking forward to your arrival on campus for the 2024-2025 academic year!鈥 This guide will be updated again in early August with additional information.
When can you move into the halls?Residence hall move-in will occur on Wednesday, August 21 for incoming first-year and transfer students. Move-in will occur between Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25 for all returning students.
Early drop offBetween Sunday, August 18 and Tuesday, August 20, students can take advantage of our early drop off policy (except Schroeder residents) in order to reduce the crowds of people on move-in day. Students may sign up for a 60 minute time slot to drop of their belongings in their room on Sunday between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m and Monday and Tuesday between 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Schroeder Hall does not offer early drop-off since summer orientation programs are housed here. Early drop off is intended to be for belongings to be dropped off only鈥攊t is not intended to be for setting up your room, rearranging furniture, lofting, etc. We are not able to accommodate any requests for students to move into their assigned rooms .before halls open on Wednesday, August 21.
Here are some helpful hints for a smooth move-in day:
What furniture is in your room?A twin XL bed, dresser, desk and desk chair, mirror, study lamp, curtains and mattress cover for each resident. All beds are extra long twin (36鈥漻80鈥). Your hall also has a laundry facility. Laundry machines accept coins and/or Marquette CASH. Laundry costs $1.50 per load to wash and $1.50 to dry. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, this price changes to $1.25. Additionally, we ask that you do not use laundry pods in the washers, as these can clog the machines.
What should you bring with you?For your beds, we recommend that you bring extra long twin sheets, blankets, bed spread, pillow and pillow case.
Please do not bring these items:
Can you have guests in your room?Residents may host up to three visitors at a time during the following hours:
24-hour-hour lobby spaces are available for students and their visitors in each residence hall. For complete details of the visitation policy, including overnight guests, please review the polices and procedures on our website.
MicroFridge Rental InformationThe MicroFridge is a one-of-a-kind unit that includes a full refrigerator, freezer and microwave all-in-one! This is a convenient alternative to bringing a refrigerator and microwave from home and is a great option for students attending Marquette from far away or out-of-state. It is one less large item to pack, making move-in day MUCH easier and less stressful! Place your order before August to guarantee that your MicroFridge will be dropped off in your room by move-in. Bedloft.com is endorsed and approved by 蜜桃影像. .
Can you switch rooms or halls?Given the limited vacancies in the residence halls after assignments are made, room and hall changes are very difficult. Beginning Tuesday, June 25 at 1pm Central Time through the Campus Living Portal, you may place yourself on a waiting list for a specific building or room type.
How do you protect belongings?蜜桃影像 is not responsible for theft, damage or loss of valuables, money or property belonging to students. We strongly recommend that you insure your personal property while at Marquette, either through your family鈥檚 home owners insurance policy or by purchasing separate property/renter鈥檚 insurance. We also encourage you to inscribe your name on valuables before your arrival.
Do you need medical insurance?Full-time undergraduates pay a per-term health fee that entitles them to benefits of 蜜桃影像 Medical Clinic. For additional information on health services, visit the Medical Clinic website. What do you need in case of an emergency? The hospital in the area requires that students have a medical insurance card or a copy of it to present upon admittance. Remember to get one from your parent/guardian and bring it with you in the fall.
Do you need to bring a computer?Every student living in a Marquette university residence hall is provided a high speed internet connection to the campus network. In addition, all the residence halls have wireless connectivity. Students are not required to have their own computer as Marquette offers many computers for student use which are available in the residence halls and other locations across campus. To view a list of labs, including available software and hours of operation, please visit the IT Services website. Students are encouraged to bring a computer to campus and should contact the IT Services TechSquad at (414) 288-7799 with any questions regarding minimum recommendations.
Can I ship belongings to campus?We are asking students to ship any items (including textbooks) to their permanent address and bring those items with them to campus on move-in day. We have limited mailroom space and hours during the early weeks of the semester to accommodate a large influx of packages shipped directly to residence halls. Residence Halls will not be able to accept packages until move-in day (August 21). We ask that you do not ship any items to the halls before this date, as any items received before this date are rerouted to a central location and may be delayed in getting delivered to the residence halls.
Meal plan informationAll students are automatically assigned the university's Anytime Dining meal plan. For information on how to make the most of your meal plan, or contact our office.
