Computer Network
Every residence hall room has direct connection to the SAU ethernet. You will not
use a modem for this connection. Simply contact
Information Technology to make an appointment to have your computer set up for ethernet access. Ethernet cards are available through the University
Bookstore. top Final
Examinations and Vacation
Final examinations are administered at the conclusion of each academic
semester. All students are asked to leave the residence halls within 24
hours of their last final exam or by the close of the residence halls.
Exceptions apply only in the case of students graduating or those directly
involved in the graduation ceremonies. The
university residence halls are open during Thanksgiving and Spring Break
recesses. The residence halls will be closed during winter vacation. All
students are encouraged to make other living arrangements during the winter break
period. Only residents with valid reasons to stay and who submit a
written request will be approved to stay on campus. Students are
encouraged to take home articles of substantial value
during vacation periods. While security coverage is in force, the
university does not accept responsibility for lost, stolen or damaged
property.
The university does reserve the
right to charge students for housing over the semester break. top Food
Service
The staff of Sodexho, the SAU food service, works hard to meet the
dietary needs and preferences of our students. They provide a wonderful
and wide selection of hot and cold items for every meal. Each student who
lives on-campus is required to participate in one of the four different
meal plans offered by Sodexho. In addition, students have flex dollars
that they may spend in the Roglaksi Center food court to purchase a
variety of food items or to bring a friend to the cafeteria. Special diets are accommodated when
requested. Students
may change their meal plans during the first two weeks of the semester at
the Residence Life office. For more information on options and costs, click here.
The daily menu can be obtained by calling x4950, or by visiting the food
service website at www.sau.edu/foodservice. top Housekeeping
The University provides regular housekeeping services for all public
areas in the residence halls. All bathrooms (including those in residents'
rooms or suites) are cleaned at least once a week. Every student is
responsible for cleaning his/her personal living space. Vacuums are
available from the RA/CA staff. top Insurance
For students' protection, students are advised to consult with home and
health insurance agents prior to the beginning of the academic year.
Parents may need to adjust their homeowner's policy to cover their Ambrose
student while school is in session. Students who are not covered by their
parents' homeowner's policies are encouraged to purchase renter's
insurance. SAU assumes no liability for any loss or damage of personal
property. top Laundry
Coin-operated laundry facilities are located in each residence hall.
Soap, bleach and fabric softener will need to be provided by the student.
Washers and dryers cost $1 per load. Change machines are located in the first floor Hagen Hall laundry
room and in the in the Rogalski Center Game Room. Bringing a few rolls of quarters with you is often helpful. top Linens
Residence hall rooms contain extra-long beds (36" x 80") which require
extra long linens to comfortably fit the mattresses. Student Services has an
agreement with an outside vendor to provide these linens through uparents.com. Students will receive a letter and order form in the mail
during the summer that describes the products and special packages
available. Make sure to order by the deadline to ensure linens arrive at
home before departing for campus.
top
Money
Several banks are located near campus for students who wish to open local personal checking accounts. The Business Office will cash personal
checks (up to $30 per day) for students. A U.S. Bank ATM is located in the
Rogalski Center.
top
Parking
Any student with a vehicle on campus must obtain a parking permit. These cost
$45 for the year, and can be purchased
online.
top
Residence Hall
Damages
Damages incurred by a resident will be billed at the conclusion of each
semester and must be paid prior to the beginning of the next semester.
Residents of a particular floor or hall are responsible for the cost of
repairs for any public area if the offender(s) cannot be identified.

Telephones
Individual bedrooms have phone lines and voice-mail but are NOT equipped
with telephones. Because phone and voicemail is a primary means of
contacting you, you need to bring a phone and set-up your voicemail. We encourage students to consult with roommates and make
arrangements to provide their own phone. Students are responsible only for
the cost of their long distance calls. Shortly after arriving at SAU, you
can be assigned a long distance calling code by going to Student Accounts. Telephone bills will be
sent to each student monthly via campus mail.

Cable Television
Each residence hall room is equipped with basic cable free of charge.
