From the Desk of the Director<br />
Welcome to <strong>Wayne</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>, your new home away<br />
from home!<br />
We are looking forward to a great school year for you, and<br />
are dedicated to creating a comprehensive living learning<br />
community.<br />
We encourage you to get involved with the students and<br />
professional staff in your hall or apartment building. Take<br />
advantage of the opportunities of living on campus by<br />
joining your Hall Council and getting to know your RA(s). Get<br />
involved in your building’s activities, student groups and the<br />
entire campus community. Don’t forget to utilize the many<br />
campus life resources, as well as the academic resources that<br />
WSU offers. The connections you will create while living on<br />
campus will enhance your experience and give you memories<br />
you will remember well after college.<br />
The <strong>Housing</strong> and Residential Life staff knows that our<br />
residents will continue to create new traditions, pride and<br />
enthusiasm for <strong>Wayne</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> and we feel lucky to<br />
be a part of the excitement. We created this <strong>Move</strong>-<strong>In</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
to provide information and guidelines for how our residential<br />
communities operate and come together throughout the<br />
academic year. Please take the time to read and gain an<br />
understanding of our on-campus community here at <strong>Wayne</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong>.<br />
Again, welcome to <strong>Wayne</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>! Business<br />

Before You Arrive<br />
7<br />
August is just around the corner and soon you will be packing<br />
your bags for your new home away from home. There are<br />
just a few things you will want to know and complete before<br />
you get here. If you have questions, this <strong>Move</strong>-<strong>In</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> will<br />
surely have the answers. Read on, and get excited to live on<br />
campus as a WSU Warrior!<br />
ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION<br />
Your room assignment has been provided in the letter along<br />
with this move-in guide. You can view who your roommate/<br />
suitemate(s) are by going to the housing website at www.<br />
housing.wayne.edu and clicking on the “Assignment and<br />
Roommates” icon. You will need to log into our housing<br />
student web, using your Access ID and Pipeline password.<br />
Once you are logged in, you can click on your room/<br />
apartment number and view the names and WSU email<br />
addresses of your roommate/suitemates. <strong>In</strong> the event that<br />
you have not yet been assigned a roommate/suitemate,<br />
check back again soon. Someone is likely to be assigned to<br />
you prior to move-in.<br />
You are encouraged to contact your roommate/suitemate<br />
prior to moving in to coordinate what you will be bringing<br />
Making a List, Checking It<br />
Twice — What You Need<br />
to Know<br />
with you. It is recommended that you also frequently check<br />
your WSU email in case your roommate/suitemate is trying to<br />
get in touch with you.<br />
THINGS TO COORDINATE WITH YOUR ROOMMATE<br />
Once you have contacted your new roommate/suitemate(s)<br />
you should begin discussing what items each of you plan to<br />
bring to campus for your new room. It’s helpful to coordinate<br />
with one another to avoid having duplicate items that you<br />
may be willing to share to save space. Most students find<br />
that duplicate items take up valuable space in their rooms/<br />
apartments. Begin the conversation early about using each<br />
other’s things. For example: if you plan to share cleaning<br />
supplies, how will you equally replenish them throughout the<br />
year when you are running low. Below are a few items most<br />
students find it best to coordinate:<br />
• Microwave<br />
• Refrigerator<br />
• TV, coaxial cable and DVD player<br />
• Wastebasket and trash bags<br />
• Cleaning supplies, including a<br />
broom, dustpan, and mop<br />
*students are responsible<br />
for cleaning their own rooms<br />
• Desk or floor lamps<br />
*no overhead lighting in<br />
most rooms<br />
• Shower curtain<br />
• Bath mats<br />
ROOM AND MEAL PLAN CHANGES<br />
Students who are interested in a room change or meal<br />
plan change can participate in our Open Room/Meal Plan<br />
Change Period. This period is held from September 12th-19th.<br />
Students can pick up a Room Change or Meal Plan Change<br />
form from their building’s front desk at the start of this<br />
period on September 12th.<br />
If participating in the room change process, students are<br />
encouraged to find other students willing to complete a<br />
room swap, as space is extremely limited. If they are unable<br />
to find someone to swap with, we will do our best to<br />
accommodate requests, if the space permits.<br />
Meal plan changes can also be made online at our application<br />
site up until July 29th. Beginning August 1st students will<br />
need to email housingassignments@wayne.edu to change<br />
their meal plan. All first-year freshmen students are required<br />
to have either the 15 Meal Plan or the Warrior Pass. After<br />
August 17th, students will not be able to change their meal<br />
plans until the Open Meal Plan Change Period.<br />
Learning Communities provide academic<br />
support and social/fun activities focused<br />
on a specific course or major. <strong>In</strong> Learning<br />
Communities, small groups of students<br />
with similar interests work closely together<br />
as a “community of learners”. LC students<br />
study, socialize and problem-solve together,<br />
alongside advanced student (peer) mentors<br />
and a faculty advisor. We have over 40<br />
Learning Communities available for a wide<br />
variety of majors and interests. Take a look<br />
at our list online, and then contact the LC<br />
Coordinator to join. It’s that easy!<br />
Visit www.lcwayne.edu for more information<br />
on how to join a Learning Community.<br />

LIVING WITH A ROOMMATE<br />
For many students, this is their first time living with a<br />
roommate/suitemates. This often means not only sharing<br />
a refrigerator or TV remote, but learning to live in a single<br />
space with another person. Here are some tips:<br />
Arrange your room, TOGETHER. This helps everyone feel at<br />
home. When you want to change things around, talk to your<br />
roommate first.<br />
Communicate. Talking things over with your roommate<br />
ahead of time is necessary for living together. Take your<br />
Packing It All Up<br />
What to bring to your home away from home<br />
What to leave behind<br />
What furniture we provide<br />
Roommate Agreement seriously when filling it out after you<br />
move in. Roommate Agreements are provided to you by your<br />
RA after you have moved in.<br />
Respect each other and your belongings. Ask before you<br />
use something, and respect your roommates time and space.<br />
Be ready to compromise. It is important to know when<br />
to be flexible and when to stand your ground. If something<br />
is bothering you, go to your roommate—not your parent,<br />
friend who lives down the hall or writing about it in your<br />
Facebook status or on Twitter.<br />
Keep your room safe. Remember to lock the door, be<br />
responsible with your keys and follow the housing policies<br />
set in place in the Community Living <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
Connect with your roommate. You don’t have to be best<br />
friends with your college roommate, but take the time to get<br />
to know him/her and perhaps, find something that you both<br />
have in common with each other.<br />
PACKING AND MOVE-IN TIPS<br />
We asked some of the “pros” who have lived on campus<br />
before about what advice they give to a new student moving<br />
in for the first time. Here’s what they said!<br />
“Make a list of what you are bringing to campus and then<br />
double check that list before leaving home to make sure you<br />
don’t leave anything behind.”<br />
Deciding What to Pack<br />
Students tend to over pack when moving to campus. The<br />
list that follows details some things that you may want to<br />
consider bringing, as well as some things not permitted in<br />
the residence halls/apartments. Many students will bring the<br />
things they are going to use right away with them and then<br />
later trade things out at home during a weekend home or<br />
the Thanksgiving/Semester break periods. For example, you<br />
most likely won’t need a winter coat until November, so you<br />
could leave that at home in August and bring it later in the<br />
year. Throughout the year, you might also choose to bring<br />
certain items home to lighten the load for when you move<br />
back home in May.<br />
TAKE IT TO WSU<br />
• Alarm clock<br />
• Area rug or carpeting if desired (floors are tile)<br />

Check-in <strong>In</strong>formation<br />
11<br />
When you pull up to the curb, WSU will be waiting to<br />
welcome you with open arms. You will hand over your checkin<br />
pass which is your golden ticket to moving in. You will need<br />
to show it before you unload your car and pick up your room<br />
key. Be sure you have some kind of photo id with you to pick<br />
up your room/apartment key. Campus will be hopping with<br />
exciting move-in events for you to enjoy. Before you know it,<br />
you will be comfortably stretched out on your bed chatting it<br />
up with your roommate in your new room.<br />
WHAT IS A CHECK-IN PASS?<br />
A Check-in Pass is a post-card that will be sent to students<br />
via postal mail or their WSU email after they have been<br />
financially cleared to move in. To be financially cleared<br />
students must pay their entire university balance or be able<br />
to show they will have the funds available through a payment<br />
plan or with an accepted financial aid package.<br />
It is important that you have your Check-<strong>In</strong> Pass available<br />
when you arrive to campus. You will be required to show<br />
your Pass before you begin unloading your car. Passes are<br />
also used to identify your eligibility to receive your room key.<br />
FREE PARKING ON MOVE-IN DAY<br />
Parking Structure 2 will be open and available on move-in<br />
day, free of charge. Friends and family are welcome to park<br />
there while helping you move-in. For any oversized vehicles,<br />
such as moving trucks, towing trailers and etc, the open<br />
surface lot #41, located in front of Structure 2, will be open.<br />
It is important that you unload your belongings quickly onto<br />
the curb and then move your vehicle(s) immediately to the<br />
structure or open surface lot to keep traffic moving efficiently<br />
on Anthony <strong>Wayne</strong> Drive.<br />
GETTING TO WSU<br />
What to Expect When<br />
You Arrive<br />
It is recommended that all students, friends and family<br />
participating in move-in utilize Google Maps or Mapquest to<br />
get personal directions from their home address. Please use<br />
the following destination address:<br />
5110 Anthony <strong>Wayne</strong> Drive<br />
Detroit, MI 48202<br />
As a reminder, don’t forget to check on traffic or<br />
construction delays before you make the trip to campus. If<br />
you are unfamiliar with the area, once you arrive to Anthony<br />
<strong>Wayne</strong> Drive, you will notice signs and staff that are prepared<br />
to direct you to where you need to go to start moving in.<br />
UNLOADING YOUR STUFF<br />
Limited carts will be available for your use; however it is<br />
recommended that you pack light to be able to carry any<br />
bags or boxes to your room if needed. You may also want to<br />
consider bringing your own hand truck if you have one.<br />
You can pull up to the curb in one of our drop off lanes on<br />
Anthony <strong>Wayne</strong> Drive from Warren to unload.<br />
Lane 1: Use this lane to pull up, quickly unload your<br />
belongings onto the curb and immediately move your car to<br />
Structure 2 or Surface lot #41.<br />
Warren<br />
Lane 2: Use this lane for through traffic. Friends or families<br />
that have driven separately to help you move should proceed<br />
directly to Structure 2 or Surface lot #41<br />
EARLY ARRIVALS<br />
If you need to arrive early to campus for an academic or<br />
university related reason, please email housingassignment@<br />
wayne.edu. Please note that there is an additional cost to<br />
arrive early at $20/night. Early arrivals will only be granted<br />
when the space is available to students who are required to<br />
be on campus prior to their scheduled move-in date.<br />
CURRENT SUMMER RESIDENTS<br />
If you are currently living in Atchison Hall as a spring/summer<br />
resident and are taking classes this summer you are able<br />
to remain in your currently assigned space until your new<br />
space is ready. On or before August 20th, you will receive<br />
notification of when you can begin moving to your new fall/<br />
winter space.<br />
CHECK-IN TIMES<br />
It is our goal to make the move-in process as smooth and<br />
enjoyable as possible. To do so we need you to move in<br />
during your designated time so that we can avoid as much<br />
congestion in the check-in lines and elevators as possible. We<br />
understand that it may not be possible for you to move in at<br />
your designated time, but we do ask for you to move in as<br />
close to your time as possible for the benefit of all.<br />

13<br />
HALL/APARTMENT STAFF<br />

and weekend on call emergency responders.<br />
Resident Advisors: RA’s are sophomore students or upper<br />
class students who have previously lived on campus. They<br />
live on each floor and are trained in conflict mediation,<br />
building community and emergency response to assist<br />
residents. You can meet your RA at check-in and your<br />
required first floor meetings. Get to know your RA, it will<br />
make a big difference.<br />
Maintenance and Housekeeping Staff: These are staff<br />
members in the buildings that take great pride in our halls<br />
and apartments. You may find yourself in contact with<br />
these individuals on a daily basis and you are encouraged<br />
to say hello as they clean common areas and perform<br />
regular building maintenance. Many residents develop great<br />
relationships with these staff members.<br />
Front Desk Staff: These are staff and students who are the<br />
smiling faces at the front desk of each building. They monitor<br />
who comes and goes in and out of the building 24 hours a<br />
day! They also assist in mail services, sign in guests and take<br />
in any reports of maintenance concerns.<br />
You may already be thinking, “where can I find my favorite<br />
candy bar or bag of chips?” <strong>In</strong> a few weeks you may be in<br />
search of where to wash your clothes. Luckily, we can tell<br />
you now where to find these amenities. Once you have<br />

Safety and Security<br />
By keeping you prepared and informed, <strong>Wayne</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> has many resources available for students to make<br />
campus a safe and secure environment. Whether you are<br />
coming and going from campus buildings or walking across<br />
campus; safety precautions are always in place.<br />
Review the campus safety tips below and make yourself<br />
aware of some of our security processes that you will<br />
participate in as a new resident to the campus community.<br />
CAMPUS SAFETY TIPS<br />
• Always lock your room door whenever you are leaving your<br />
room, even if it is just to go down the hall.<br />
• Never prop or leave an exterior door open. It can<br />
jeopardize the safety of all students living in the building.<br />
• If you lose your room/apartment key, report it immediately<br />
to the front desk and to your roommate/suitemates.<br />
• If you encounter an unauthorized person in the building,<br />
contact a staff member or Public Safety immediately.<br />
• When parking your car keep everything, even of minimal<br />
value, in your trunk that you are not taking with you.<br />
• When walking, keep your head up to remain more alert of<br />
your surroundings. Do not use your cell phone to talk or<br />
text.<br />
• Program ICE (in case of emergency) into your cell phone<br />
for emergency personal to be able to contact someone in<br />
the event you are unable to use your cell phone.<br />
• Do not list your specific room or cell phone number on any<br />
social networking sites, like Facebook. Also do not post<br />
where you are headed on Facebook or Twitter.<br />
• Be conscious when posting status updates on Facebook<br />
and Twitter about where you are headed.<br />
• When a fire alarm sounds in a building, all residents are<br />
required to vacate the building, even if you think it’s a drill<br />
or false alarm, it may not be.<br />
ONECARD IDENTIFICATION<br />
<strong>Housing</strong> facilities are restricted to residents, university<br />
employees and registered guests. Your OneCard establishes<br />
your affiliation with WSU and is not transferable. Students<br />
should not lend their OneCard to another person for any<br />
purpose, including entry to the building, purchasing of<br />
meals, vending items or anything else that can be purchased<br />
with your OneCard. If you lose your OneCard, be sure to<br />
immediately deactivate your OneCard on Pipeline.<br />
SECURITY MONITORS<br />
Security Monitors are stationed in each of the halls and<br />
apartments at the front lobby during high traffic late night<br />
hours. The monitors assist the front desk staff with checking<br />
ID’s and ensuring that guests are registered.<br />
BUILDING/ROOM ACCESS<br />
Residence halls and apartments are locked 24 hours a day<br />
and require your OneCard for entry to your building.<br />
EMERGENCY BLUE LIGHTS<br />
There are more than 100 emergency blue light telephones<br />
located across campus, its perimeter and within parking<br />
facilities. The phones are highly visible and are programmed<br />
to contact WSU Public Safety at the touch of a button.<br />
HALL STICKERS<br />
Each residence hall/apartment building has a unique sticker<br />
that is placed on the resident’s OneCard for where they live.<br />
Students are required to show this sticker on their OneCard<br />
when they enter their building.<br />
BROADCAST MESSAGING<br />
The <strong>University</strong> has a broadcast messaging service that<br />
can send you an email or text message for class change<br />
information, snow days or technology outages on campus.<br />
To opt into the system go to your Pipeline account to adjust<br />
which messages you receive.<br />

Parent and Family<br />
<strong>In</strong>formation<br />
As your child or loved one is becoming excited with<br />
anticipation of this independent venture of moving to<br />
college you may start to have mixed feelings about him/her<br />
moving out. Letting go is never easy, however, when met<br />
with encouragement and support it can result in a successful<br />
experience for everyone involved.<br />
Now that the countdown has begun, it is time to begin<br />
preparing your student for the next chapter in their life.<br />
During these last few days or weeks at home, have some of<br />
the following conversations with your student.<br />
• Show your student how to do laundry and manage their<br />
finances.<br />
• Create a list of serial numbers of any items they might be<br />
bringing to campus with them.<br />
• Encourage your student to limit what they bring with them,<br />
as there are no storage spaces available in the residence<br />
halls or apartments.<br />
• Review financial aid, housing and dining contracts and<br />
other campus policies in the Community Living <strong>Guide</strong> that<br />
can be found online.<br />
As you pull away from the curb on move-in day, know that<br />
your student still needs you. They will still call asking for<br />
advice or sometimes just for the positive affirmation that<br />
they will succeed. They will encounter new experiences and<br />
challenges and as parents or family members it is important<br />
to trust that the values that you have instilled in them over<br />
the years will be unpacked in their new home away from<br />
home. And just when you think they won’t be coming back...<br />
think again! They’ll be back for that favorite home-cooked<br />
meal or to do so some laundry in a few weeks. And you will<br />
have to admit you will miss them when they leave all over<br />
again.<br />
WHAT’S A FERPA?<br />
FERPA is the Federal Rights and Privacy Act. Every college<br />
student is protected by this as of 1974. This act prohibits<br />
anyone other than the student from gaining access<br />
to information regarding grades, housing or financial<br />
information unless they are specified by name on a FERPA<br />
release form. Students can give parents or other family<br />
members permission to access this <strong>In</strong>formation by filling<br />
out this form. However, we recommend that you receive<br />
this information directly from your student. Additional<br />
information can be found at http://parents.wayne.edu/ferpa.<br />

CONVERSATION STARTERS<br />
It is important to open the communication lines with your<br />
college student before they move out. You may see that your<br />
relationship with them will change as they are starting their<br />
college adventure. One thing to chat with your student about<br />
is safety and security. <strong>Wayne</strong> <strong>State</strong> takes this very seriously.<br />
All residence halls and apartments have secure access<br />

Living in the Heart<br />
of the City<br />
<strong>Wayne</strong> <strong>State</strong> is also home to many Division I and II sports<br />
teams. The WSU fields and courts are just steps away from<br />
campus housing. Almost all WSU sporting events are free to<br />
students with their OneCard.<br />
On weekends students can discover music festivals like the<br />
Detroit Electronic Music Festival and the annual Hoedown<br />
at Hart Plaza. If you have a passport or enhanced drivers<br />
license Canada, is only a bridge or tunnel away to take in the<br />
experience of another country that’s close to home. Students<br />
can also find cultural experiences while feasting on a great<br />
meal in Greektown or Mexican Village. <strong>In</strong> the winter students<br />
can visit Campus Martius Park where you can slip on a pair<br />
of ice skates and skate next to the City of Detroit’s holiday<br />
tree. While you are downtown, check out the Hard Rock Café<br />
nearby.<br />
Whether you are looking for a night out on the town, a<br />
chance to tempt your taste buds or just an opportunity to<br />
cheer on your favorite team—<strong>Wayne</strong> <strong>State</strong> is proud to be<br />
in the center of Detroit. We hope you take the opportunity<br />
to experience all the great things Detroit has to offer its<br />
students who live in the heart of it all!<br />
