| Residence hall fire drills this week | University Housing and Dining will conduct fire drills in the upcoming weeks. You MUST evacuate during a fire alarm; failure to do so is a violation of University policy and could result in disciplinary action. Once you exit the hall, please move to a safe distance away from the building, but do not block traffic. University Housing and Dining staff will help instruct you where to go and let you know when you are able to reenter the building.

Please remember that during all fire alarms and building evacuations, we request that you evacuate the building using the nearest exit, after closing and locking your room door behind you. | | | Room change waitlist open | The room change waitlist opens in the housing portal starting at 12 p.m. (noon) on Monday, Jan. 22. You can join up to five waitlists: one per room type, per building. Room change offers will begin on Jan. 29 as space becomes available. Offers will be made in the order requests were received online and will continue through March 22, as space allows.
Please be aware that adding your name to the waitlist(s) does not guarantee a room change offer. We have a very limited number of single and completely open double rooms on campus. To increase your chances of a room change offer, we strongly encourage you to be flexible with room type and location. | | | Stay healthy this semester | Need an appointment with a health care professional on campus?

Many individuals are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression associated with the lack of natural light. Check out a light box from Student Wellness at the CRWC for free to try a month of light therapy.
