SPRING 2014 Residence Hall Move-in GUIDE Welcome to the Residence Halls! We look forward to having you with us and hope that you will find your stay in the halls fun and academically rewarding. 7/13 (068) BeforeYou Arrive Read all of the information in the 2013-2014 Student Housing License Agreement. Many frequently asked questions are answered in the License Agreement, including information about what to bring with you to the halls. You will be expected to follow the policies and regulations outlined in the License Agreement, so please read and refer to them as necessary throughout the year. The 2013-2014 policies are available online in the Guide to Community Living at www.sdsu.edu/housing. Please also read the enclosed information about your residence hall assignment and move-in day instructions. Bring all of this information with you when you come to campus. SDSU Identification Card You will need an official SDSUcard to use your meal plan, enter the residence halls, use library services, and obtain an email account and much more. You may also choose to set up SDSU Funds to use your card for Bookstore purchases, at Aztec Dining Services to supplement your meal plan, for copying and printing in the library, and for laundry machines in most of the residence halls. You may have already picked up your SDSUcard during New Student Orientation. If not, stop by the SDSUcard office before you move into your hall. The card office hours for January 21, are 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. Please don’t forget that you will need to pay your $18 new card fee online. Go to www.sdsu.edu/sfs and click on “Online Student Account Services” to log in. Remember to bring a government issued ID (driver’s license, California ID, passport or military ID) with you to the card office or you cannot be issued a SDSUcard. Sorry, no exceptions. Cancellation Services and Facilities to Help You If you wish to cancel your Student Housing License Agreement, it is your responsibility to do so in writing per terms of the license agreement. Cancellation charges will apply. Visit the Fees and Payments section on our website for more details. Please read the terms of your license agreement to understand these conditions. PlanYour Move In Cable TV Service Vehicles and Parking Permits All halls offer cable TV service which includes 96 channels at no additional charge. Please bring your own television or contact your roommate (if applicable) to coordinate who is bringing a television. No premium channels are included in this service. Residents need to contact Cox Cable directly to set up premium channel cable service. If you wish to park on campus you must purchase a university parking permit from the University Cashier’s Office. Residence hall and apartment students must also purchase the student parking permit designated overnight (for $213 per semester) in order to park in student lots between the hours of 1 and 6 am. For students living in University Towers (UT) and Piedra del Sol, there are a limited number of onsite, assigned parking spaces available. For additional information about parking at UT or Piedra del Sol, please refer to the email which contained the link to this document. Computers SDSU provides wireless Internet throughout the campus, residence halls and apartments. If you are planning to bring your game console, make sure it has a wireless card. For the safety of our network, anti-virus software needs to be installed on your machine. We provide Microsoft Security Essential for Windows and McAfee Antivirus for Mac. To reduce risks we highly recommend uninstalling any file-sharing software (Bittorent, Ares...) on your machine prior to moving in. Any commission of copyright infringement will result in termination of access and possible disciplinary action. Users will be charged $150 to restore their Internet access. Bike Lockers, Racks, and Storage Barn You may obtain a bike locker or a space in the bike barn for bicycle storage. No bicycles are allowed inside the residence halls (including student apartments). Having your bicycle in storage is not a guarantee of security for your bike. We recommend that you do not bring a valuable bike to campus unless it is insured. The university is not liable for lost or stolen bicycles. Bicycle storage is located near each residence hall. Storage keys/space reservations will be available at the Office of Housing Administration, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm. Locker and storage spaces are given out on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no cost for the storage key or space; however, there is a $25 charge for lost or non-returned keys. Meal Plans Questions about your 2013-14 SDSU Meal Plan? Get information on all SDSU meal plans at www.eatatsdsu.com where you will find daily menus, information on special events, nutrition and more. You may also email questions to [email protected] or call 619-594-7640. All 2013-14 SDSU meal plans begin on Wednesday, January 22. During move-in weekend, there will be several campus restaurants and Aztec Markets open and accepting cash or credit. Emergency Information Card Emergency Preparedness Included in this PDF is your Emergency Information Card. Complete it, print it, and bring it with you. Attach a picture of yourself to the writable PDF before printing. Having this completed before you arrive will help to avoid a delay as you check in. All residents are advised to have a family emergency plan. Each resident should maintain an emergency supply kit in his/her room consisting of a first aid kit, three-day supply of water, non-perishable food, battery operated radio and flashlight, extra batteries, gloves, and medications. Move in Day Break It Down: TUESDAY, JANUARY 21 This exciting day will also be busy and hectic. There will be a lot of activity and traffic near each residence hall. When you arrive, you may have to wait in line to check in, get your key, and get to your hall’s unloading area. Please review the map and instructions on the following page and print a copy of the page to bring with you when you come to campus. Hand Trucks and Moving Carts Bring a hand truck or moving cart to make moving belongings to your room easier. (Your family should take the cart home after move-in.) A limited number of carts and hand trucks will be available for use. To avoid having to wait for one, bring your own. Cardboard Recycling At SDSU, we are committed to using the resources available to us in ways that protect those resources for future generations. As part of that commitment, there will be a variety of sustainability programs in the residence halls during the year. The first will be Corrugated Cardboard Recycling at move-in. After you use your boxes, please break them down so they are flat and put them in the co-mingled trash dumpsters near your residence hall. The corrugated cardboard, along with other trash materials, will be recycled instead of dumped in a landfill. Please do your part and break it down! The last is “Give It Up.” Students over the past seven years have contributed thousands of pounds of usable goods and food to local charities through the Give It Up efforts. Clothing and food donations are collected at each residence hall during move-out in May.
