2016-17 Move-In Guide

Welcome to Your New Home!
Your Hall Assignment
Greetings and welcome to life on campus! The Housing and Residential Life Staff
is excited to have you living on campus. As a former EWU resident of the very halls
in which you are about to live, I know the benefits, lifelong friendships, learning and
fun you are going to experience.
Living on campus is more than just eating and sleeping close to class. It puts you at the
“center of the action” with countless opportunities for study groups, campus activities,
campus recreation and easy access to all EWU has to offer. Your enthusiasm and
willingness to try new things will go a long way toward creating your new community
and making this a great year.
This fall we are excited to showcase a number of facility improvements, cheer on
our EWU athletic teams and watch you battle your peers during Homecoming.
Please become familiar with the information in this move-in guide to assist you
in preparing for Move-in Weekend and a smooth transition to life on campus. It
is my hope that your time living on campus will be as rewarding and memorable
as I found it. Seize this moment in your life, take care of each other and challenge
yourself to be great!
With Eagle Pride,
Josh Ashcroft
Chief Housing Officer

Roommates
“Never judge a book by its cover” is probably the best and healthiest approach to take with
your roommate. At the beginning of the quarter you’ll complete a roommate agreement that
outlines your commitment to your roommate. Roommates who complete the form together
and agree on expectations are more likely to have a great experience. And remember: a great
roommate doesn’t have to be your best friend.
What if I want to change rooms?
Room changes are not accepted before move-in. If you’re not happy after you’ve given it a try,
you’ll have the opportunity to request a room change during the second week of the quarter.
Driving Directions
Go to ewu.edu/visit for directions to campus and a link to a campus map.
Access to Your Hall and Room
Your room key also opens your mailbox (this doesn’t apply to Brewster Hall). The hall exterior
doors are locked 24/7 and you will use your student ID card (EagleCard) to gain access to
your building. Place your ID card near the card reader by the entrance.
DO NOT LOSE AND NEVER LEND YOUR KEY OR EAGLECARD! (It’s important, and
we used bold font and capital letters because we are saying this quite loudly.) If you lose your
key, your lock will be re-cored and you will be charged for replacement. Duplicating your key
is prohibited, as is punching a hole in your EagleCard.
First Floor Meeting
When you arrive, please take note of when your first floor meeting will occur. Attendance at
floor and hall meetings is mandatory. You will learn important information, including safety
procedures, hall policies and activities.
Parking
Most first-year students don’t need to bring cars to campus. Parking is limited, and finding a
spot near your building can be tough.
If you need to bring your car to campus and don’t like waiting in line, you can pre-purchase an
annual or quarterly parking permit from Parking Services. Visit ewu.edu/parking and click
“Residential Hall Permits” in the left menu. Click the “Go To Form” link at the bottom of the
text. Complete and submit the form.
The academic year permit costs $135; the quarterly permit is $55. If you order your permit
by Aug. 31, Parking Services will mail the permit to you before Move-in Day. If you submit
your request after Aug. 31, Parking Services will have your permit waiting for you when you
arrive. Temporary parking permits may be purchased for visiting friends and family based
on availability.
2
Move-In Day
Go directly to your assigned residence hall to check in. We will help you unload your vehicle
immediately when you arrive so you (and your family) can move your car to a more distant
parking spot and create room for the next person to drop off their possessions.
To reduce congestion and elevator/stair wait times, Friday check-in is separated into a morning
shift and an afternoon shift. We hope this makes move-in more relaxed and enjoyable for
everyone. Please see the schedule below to determine when you’ll move in. We are unable
to accommodate move-in prior to Sept. 16 as the hall staff will be busy with training and
preparing for move-in day.
Please do not park in handicap spots (unless you have a valid DP placard), in service drives
or by fire hydrants.
Be on the lookout for our Movers and Shakers team for assistance. They can help you
with lifting heavy objects, opening doors, and finding directions. You’ll recognize them by
their T-shirts.
If you have access to a hand truck, please bring it. We have limited carts for your use, and it
will probably be faster if you bring your own.
Check-In Dates & Times
Friday, Sept. 16 (It’s highly recommended that all first-year students arrive on this date.)

5
Phone Services
We do not automatically provide telephone land lines in each room. If you would like a
landline, please email the Housing and Residential Life office at [email protected]. A
quarterly fee applies to this optional service, and you must bring your own landline telephone.
Pets
ONLY fish or underwater turtles are allowed. Ten-gallon tanks are the maximum allowed.
NO snakes, lizards, hamsters, birds, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, sugar gliders, alpacas, goats,
wombats, etc. will be allowed in the residence halls.
The only exceptions to EWU’s pet policy are service/assistance animals as approved by
EWU Disability Support Services.
Employment Hint
You cannot get a job on or off campus without providing proper identification. Bring your
employment documents. Visit ewu.edu/studentemployment for a list of employment
documents.
Technology and Internet
All rooms have a high-speed wired Ethernet connection. Wireless connectivity is available
in all halls.
Hardware: Since there is just one Ethernet port per room, roommates must share an Ethernet
hub or switch if you wish to be online at the same time. You’ll need a lengthy Ethernet cable
too, but you may want to determine your cable length after moving into your room. Switches
and cables are available at any electronics store or at very reasonable prices at the University
Bookstore. ROUTERS ARE PROHIBITED and connectivity will be shut down when
discovered. They have a severely negative impact on the network.
Software: To better protect both the EWU residence hall network and your computer, we
have a product called Safe Connect installed on our network. It will verify that you have
current anti-virus software and current OS security patches before allowing you to login.
Login instructions will be available when you arrive on campus.
Are there limitations to my Internet access?
While you have the freedom to access any website you wish and play any online games you
like, the residence hall network is designed for maximum speed with educational purposes
in mind. There are very few recreational limitations placed on the network, but browsing,
emailing and performing educational research receive bandwidth priority.
Can I download music, movies and other copyrighted materials?
Yes, but only as long as you are downloading legally. If we receive a letter from any governing
copyright association indicating that illegal downloads are occurring on your computer, we will
discontinue your Internet access, meet with you, and it will be your responsibility to address
the allegations and arrive at a legal settlement. The university holds no liability for illegal
downloads of copyrighted material, whether it is audio, video or otherwise.
Visit riaa.com and mpaa.org to educate yourself about the seriousness of this matter.
Are anti-virus software and current OS patches required
on my computer?
Yes. After you login using your iTech account, which is provided as a benefit of your technology
fee, you will be prompted to install a small program which checks to see that you have current
anti-virus software and operating system patches. Both are required before you will be allowed
to access the residence hall network.
Free anti-virus software is available to all students as another benefit of your technology fee. If
you choose to use free anti-virus software, plan to install it immediately upon arriving. You may
use other established anti-virus software if you prefer.
EagleCard
This card provides access to services on campus which include your meal plan dollars and
entry into your residence hall, the library, the recreation center and athletic games. Your
EagleCard reduces your need for cash on campus. Remember to take it everywhere while
on campus. Visit ewu.edu/eaglecard for a good summary of the uses of your card.
All new students need to pick up your EagleCard at 120 Tawanka Hall.
Dining Meal Plan
Your meal plan will be activated beginning Friday, Sept. 16. Present your EagleCard to any
cashier and they’ll swipe it through the register to deduct the purchase from your meal plan.
Transactions are fast and easy!
If you are a returning resident, continue to use your same EagleCard. If you are a new student
and have not yet obtained your EagleCard, it is important to do this immediately.
The EagleCard office and the Dining Office are located in 120 Tawanka and will be open to
assist you.
You are expected to adhere to the EWU Housing Internet Acceptable Use Policy, which can
be found on our web page titled “Internet in the Residence Halls.”

Where Do I Eat?
In the PUB
Baldy’s Food Court – a large cafeteria-style restaurant that offers changing menus for
breakfast, lunch and dinner. Baldy’s will close in November for the PUB remodel.
In Tawanka
Tawanka Main Street – the campus “all you care to eat” location. It’s home to the infamous
Sunday brunch, one of the can’t-miss meals on campus campus, and you can use your
unlimited plan here.
Market Espresso – a cafe that offers hot and cold espresso drinks and blended fruit
smoothies.
Einstein’s Bagels - the bagel shop you know and love, which is opening in October!
Eagle Express Market – the primary campus convenience store.
In the Recreation Center (URC)
The Roost – a restaurant with unique food options that can’t be found anywhere else on
campus. Try some onion-battered green beans, blackened salmon salad or some Burnin’
Wings of Fire, all while overlooking the EWU ice rink.
In Morrison/Streeter Hall
Morris Street Market – a small convenience store.
Ordering food online
You can use the Tapingo mobile app to order food for pickup. If you’ve got a tight schedule, it’s
the best way to make sure lunch is ready when you are. Find the app in the iTunes App Store or
in the Google Play App Store.
Getting Involved
Housing and Residential Life is committed to creating an engaged student learning experience
enhanced through numerous student leadership opportunities. Below is a brief list of some of
the activities in which students can get involved.
Hall Council/Community Council – Each residence hall has its own hall government.
Opportunities for executive officers or for being a floor representative are available. This
group is responsible for the hall budget and has opportunities to purchase equipment and
plan activities for all residents.
8
RHA – Residence Hall Association – This is the student government body representing
the interests of all students living in the residence hall system. It is the parent organization for
individual hall governments. RHA organizes educational and social events to enrich the lives
of students residing in the halls, and the group aids in organizing leadership conferences,
workshops and retreats for student leaders living in the halls. RHA also fosters communication
between the residents in the halls and the Housing and Residential Life Office and the
ASEWU, which is the acronym for EWU’s student government.
Campus Friends Program – This is a program within the Asia University America Program
(AUAP). Campus Friends are EWU students who have the unique opportunity to meet and
share college life experiences with Japanese students who are participating in the AUAP at
Eastern Washington University. Students who participate in this program are able to share
various aspects of American and Japanese culture, develop their cross-cultural communication
skills and deepen their university experience by getting to know someone from another country.
If you are an EWU student and would like to be a Campus Friend, please call Michael Reid at
509.359.6008, or email him at [email protected] or stop by Anderson Hall, Room 104.
