Welcome! The University of Louisville On-Campus Housing Office looks forward to your arrival. We hope

you are as excited to be moving into the residence halls as we are about having you as a

resident! Summer is always an exciting time around here but not as exciting as that first

weekend when everyone moves in. We strongly recommend you check your assignment in case there have been any changes. We perform many room changes throughout the summer to accommodate room change requests and to consolidate available spaces. You can check your room through ULink by choosing the Student Services tab. Go to the middle column and towards the bottom you'll find a box labeled "Personal Information." There you'll find the link called "Housing Roommate Search" where you will find your room assignment and roommate's name. Once you find your roommate’s name, you can search for them using your Cardmail account and send them an email introducing yourself.”

We look forward to your stay with us and are extremely excited for the new school year. We will have lots of fun activities planned for you during move in week and all throughout the year. GO CARDS!

Sincerely,

University of Louisville On-Campus Housing

UofL Health Services Important Information Regarding Meningitis

Vaccines and Health Checklist Form UofL Health Services provides two very important documents you should read through prior to your move in. Please take the time to review both documents. Any questions regarding these topics can be directed to the University of Louisville Campus Health Services Office.

Meningitis Vaccination Information (pdf)

Important Healthcare Readiness Checklist (pdf):

Beginning Fall 2014 all new first year students will be required to provide proof of routine childhood immunization. A standard state immunization form completed by your physician is generally all the documentation you will need to provide in addition to the:

Tuberculosis (TB) Screening Questionnaire

Winter Break Note: The Suites and Apartments do not close for the winter break. Therefore residents who live in these halls are able to remain over the holiday. Regardless of whether the hall remains open or closes for the break, students may leave personal belongings in their room if they are returning to that room for the spring semester. Housing cannot be responsible for damage or loss that may occur. NOTE: Students living in the halls that close for break will not be able to get into their rooms once the hall closes. They should plan accordingly on what to take with them. Students, who anticipate that they will receive a room change during the break, may want to remove all their items before leaving for break. Suites and Apartments: Bettie Johnson Hall, Billy Minardi Hall, Community Park, Kurz Hall, Louisville Hall, Med / Dent Apartments, and University Tower Apartments

A few things to know about your room:

Some halls have windows that don’t open and the air conditioning/heating units are set on a

standard temperature. You may find having a small fan helpful if you like things cooler than the

pre-determined temperature. Other halls have self-controlled thermostats in room.

If your window is operable, please turn off the air conditioning/heating unit before opening it.

All halls have full fire suppression including sprinkler and smoke detector systems as well as fire

alarm systems that report to our Campus Police. These systems are in place for your safety;

please do not hang anything from them or try to adjust them in anyway. No change in systems

was made this year since they are all updated.

Students have the responsibility to protect their belongings by maintaining proper renters

insurance. The University/ULH Inc is not responsible for damage to a student’s belongings. We

strongly recommend that you review your homeowner’s insurance policy and/or purchase

renter’s insurance to cover your belongings in the unlikely event that damage occurs. Two

examples of companies that provide insurance to protect student belongings while on campus

include Sallie Mae and NSSI. For more information about renter’s insurance:

Sallie Mae www.salliemae.com/insurance/renters 877-527-2370

NSSI www.nssi.com 800-256-6774
