Because of many new housing applicants and cancellations over the winter break, roommate information sometimes changes. We recommend checking your roommate information occassionally before the start of the semester.
See who your roommate is through e-Services.
Once you know your room assignment, you can view the floor plan for your room, check the size of the mattress, and determine whether or not your room has a University-provided loft.
See the floor plan of your room and read about other details.
Contracts may be canceled and $200 of the $250 prepayment will be refunded if your cancellation is received by January 5, 2012. Cancellations must be in writing and postmarked by January 5 or have been received in our office via email (reslife@mnsu.edu) by January 5.
Please make certain you are completely familiar with the terms of your Residence Hall Contract. Your signed contract is on file and we will send you a copy upon request.

Classes begin Monday, January 9.
To get connected to the wired Internet in your room, you will need to bring:
1. A computer with an Ethernet adapter or card.
2. An Ethernet cable (Cat 5 10/100Base-T cable with RJ-45 connectors) in order to connect your computer to the network port in your room.
To access the internet through a wireless connection in the public areas in the residence halls and on campus, bring a computer (laptop) that also has a wireless Ethernet adapter or card.
When you check in, you will be given information regarding the user agreement, and set up instructions on how to register your computer to the network.
IT Services' recommended configurations for desktop and laptop computers can be found here.
If you are buying a new computer, it is best to purchase one with an Ethernet adapter pre-installed. This can be on-board, or a separate card already installed as long as the machine has an Ethernet port. You can also buy a separate Ethernet card (nic) for your system.
