Fall Term Check-in: TBD. Winter term and Spring term check-in will be the Sunday prior to the start of classes. If you find that there is a need for you to arrive earlier, please contact the Residence Life Office to make those arrangements.
For the Fall term, students will generally receive this information in mid-August. All assignments and roommate selections are hand-picked. Residence Life assigns students to housing based on the date that a completed application and deposit are received. Residence Life accommodates students’ preferences for room assignments when possible but does not guarantee assignments based on preferences. Once we have completed your assignment you’ll receive an email (to your EOU email address) and mailer packet with your room assignment and roommate itinerary. Please note that any roommate request made requires that all parties, would need to be in agreement before the roommate request will be assigned.
Student ID cards can be used for meal plans, fitness center access, and access to various locations including the Residence Halls, events, and activities sponsored by the University. The University is committed to the safety of all students, staff, and visitors to the university. To facilitate accountability and security, the University will require all personnel, students, and visitors to have proper University issued identification based on 4.10.25 – University Identification Card Policy. These can be ordered online at https://kb.eou.edu/faq/id-card or at the I.T. Office in Ackerman Hall RM 209 from Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (excluding major holidays) https://kb.eou.edu/faq/id-card.
Residents can get something to eat at Mountie Cafe and Mac’s Grill in Hoke Union Building. If you are on a meal plan and do not yet have your student ID card, just let the cashier/checker know and that person will check you off the list of students with meal plans. If you do have your ID card just swipe it through the machine.Student ID pictures will be taken in the I.T. Office in Ackerman Hall RM 209 from Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (excluding major holidays) https://kb.eou.edu/faq/id-card.
All rooms are furnished but there are some things that you must supply. Please bring your own wastebasket, all your bedding (sheets to fit an extra-long twin mattress, size 36″ x 80″), towels, and personal items. You or your roommate will need to provide your own touch-tone phone. And, of course, you may bring your sound system, radios, CD players, mp3 players, etc. If you are a resident of North or Daugherty, cooking appliances such as toaster ovens, hot plates, and crock pots are not allowed. Alikut residents will need to bring cooking and eating utensils if they choose not to be on one of the meal plans.The State Fire Marshall does not allow lightweight extension cords or multi-plug adapters in residence hall rooms. Please bring an isobar plug-in extension cord that has a fuse or trip switch instead of using an extension cord. For a complete list of suggested items to bring to campus, click What to Bring.We feel that it is important that you personalize your space. Posters, plants, bedspreads, and a throw rug can help make your room seem more like home. However, we do ask that you avoid doing things that will damage the walls or woodwork. For example, transparent tape is almost impossible to clean off. Masking tape and self-adhesive hooks can be used with care. Carefully review the manufacturer’s suggestions for removing these products. Also, small picture hangers (metal hooks that come with small finishing nails) leave few, if any, marks if removed correctly by pulling the nails out at the same angle they were driven in. The question to ask yourself is whether you will be able to return your room to its previously unimaginative condition at the end of your stay.

Residents may only be released from their contract if they meet one of the following reasons, graduation from EOU, participating in a university-planned educational leave program, dismissal for EOU for academic reasons, or being denied admission to EOU. If the student does not meet the criteria for release from the contract, a charge of $8 per day contract fee will be applied to the student’s account from the day of the check-out through the end of the academic year in June.
No, there is not a curfew. The buildings are locked at all times. Each resident has a security key card allowing her or him to get into the building at any time.
Learning to live with a roommate is an important part of your housing experience. Residence halls are excellent places to develop lifelong friendships, so why not begin with your roommate? The key to roommate survival is mutual respect. Be aware of your own rights, but also be sensitive to others. If by chance you cannot work out differences with your roommate, contact your Resident Assistant (RA). They have been trained in arbitration and conflict resolution. RA’s are very much aware of what residence living is all about and they can be of great assistance to you.If you would like to know who your roommate/suitemates are, log into Webster to view those details.
All the halls have a direct computer link through the data jack located in the room, as well as Wi-Fi in the common areas of each hall. There are computer labs throughout the campus for all students to use. They are located in Loso, Ackerman, and Pierce Library.WARNINGBefore using the network (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) be sure that your computer has:
If your computer is not secure and viruses free the network port will be shut off indefinitely. This will be done to protect others on the network and your computer from more infections.If you need help fixing a known virus problem (no charge, but only once!) you can bring your computer (just the tower or the notebook) over to the Computing Services Center.If you are unsure or have any questions about this information, please ask for help from the Computing Services Center in Ackermann Hall 209, call 541-962-3111 or email helpdesk@eou.edu.
Parking is provided for residents on a space-available basis. There are parking lots adjacent to each Residence Hall. Permits may be purchased at the Student Accounts office in Inlow Hall.
