 Insurance on Your Belongings


The University DOES NOT provide insurance or assume liability for personal belongings in residence. It is advised that you check with your parent/guardian’s homeowner’s policy and/or your insurance representative to ensure that contents coverage is extended to your residence room.
 
Telephone Service


Telephone service is not provided in your residence room. Students are responsible for arranging for their own telephone service provider. It is strongly recommended that students consider using a cell phone, and students are encouraged to carefully review their phone service options once they arrive on campus to avoid any unneccessary roaming charges.

Telephone service of some kind is mandatory for all WLU residence students.

Students are expected to submit their telephone number to their Residence Life Don by Sunday September 20, 2009. 

 
Internet Service in Residence


Internet service is provided through Wilfrid Laurier University in the majority of the residence buildings, and the cost is included as part of your residence fees. For more information about our ResNet service, please review the Introduction to ResNet Letter.
 
2009-2010 Residence Handbook


All students must read the 2009-2010 Residence Handbook.

The terms and conditions set out in the 2009-2010 Residence Handbook are a part of the contract between the Department of Residential Services and yourself. They are intended to explain what you can expect from living in residence and what we in turn expect from you. We hope that you will take advantage of all of the opportunities living in a residence community presents. 

 
Parking Permits


Students interested in a parking space for the 2009-2010 academic year may apply for one by completing and returning the Parking Application form.
