Welcome
Welcome to the first electronic edition of the Open Door.
The Open Door is a publication of Residence Life’s apartment area, providing information to support your experience living on campus. The electronic format will provide more timely information about issues and events.
We've Got Answers
Students may have questions or concerns about their apartments, living situations, or other potential troubles. There are eleven Community Advocates (CAs) in the apartment area that can aid in many situations.
