Coordinate larger items with your roommates

Coordinate larger items with your roommates so you don’t bring duplicates. 澳门赌场 less you bring, the more space you’ll have in your room.

How to avoid tripped breakers

When too many items are plugged into an outlet the breaker will trip. Power strips only add additional outlets. 澳门赌场y do not increase the amount of power from the outlet. Surge protectors can help against tripping a breaker.

Please avoid this issue. Residents will be charged for repeated tripped breakers.

You will be given information on how to connect to the internet on move-in day.

Shipping items prior to move-in 

Packages can be sent to your residential community up to seven days prior to your scheduled move-in. To find your address, go to your assigned Residence Hall web page. Please consider that the residence halls receive thousands of packages around move-in. Bringing items with you when you move in will help you avoid the lines and waiting associated with package pickup.

Communications from Residential Life and Capstone

You are responsible for reading the information we send to your mailbox, post on your room door, and send by email to your residential account.

Residential Life and Capstone will send most correspondence to applicants and residents via their email accounts they used to create their housing application. Be aware that if your email is forwarded to a different account, it may be filtered, refused or treated as spam.

Residential Life and Capstone is not responsible for emails not received. To ensure delivery of emails to your email inbox, add info@liveatuwbothell.com and uwbreslife@uw.edu to your email address book or list of approved contacts.

You may also receive emails from Residential Life staff members, such as your Resident Advisor or Resident Director.

Privacy and safety 

Resident safety is one of the UWB and Capstone’s highest priorities. Our safety policy was developed in conjunction with UW regulations and Washington State statutes regarding student privacy. Residence Life and Capstone will not, under any circumstances, release room numbers or telephone numbers to any unauthorized person including friends, parents, and relatives. Although this policy may seem inconvenient at times, it provides residents protection and a secure living environment within the Residential Village. We encourage students to make sure their families and friends have their address, as well as their room and telephone numbers.

Your personal information

澳门赌场 Family Education Right and Privacy Act (FERPA) prevents us from releasing your information to anyone other than yourself without your authorization. This includes how much you owe on your housing account.

You may authorize Capstone to release information about your housing account (e.g., to your parents/guardians) by supplying their names on your 澳门赌场 Personal Services page.

Renters Insurance Requirement

We require students to have insurance or financial protection on their personal property while living in the Residential Village. Check with your family’s insurance policy to see if your possessions are covered under that policy or if you can get renters insurance added. Any student who doesn’t provide a personal renters insurance policy, will be automatically charged and given renters insurance that is provided by the property.
