Cable TV Cable access is provided in each room for cable ready televisions. Please click on this link to see a list of the channels provided and for information on how to program your TV. Residence Life Cinema Throughout the day the university will run movies back to back on Channel 27. See below for the current movies showing this month. Telephone Service Telephone service is provided for students in each residence hall room making it possible to make campus and local telephone calls directly. To make long-distance calls, you should purchase calling cards, available at most discount stores or at the campus bookstore. Telephones are not provided. It is the responsibility of the occupants to bring their own telephone which will operate on a touch-tone system. It is highly encouraged for students to bring a land-line phone, instead of a cordless phone, because it will work in the event of a power outage. Cost for local telephone service, voice mail, and call waiting are included in the regular room rental charges. There are no limitations concerning the time when telephone calls may be received and made from room telephones. Voicemail is provided free of charge to each resident. Each resident will have an individual voicemail box with a separate password. Even if you use your cell phone for your primary means of communication, you should still set up your voicemail in your room and check it frequently. Click here for more information on how to set up your voicemail. Internet/Wireless In addition to the University's wireless capabilities, which allow you to connect to the internet from anywhere on campus, every room is equipped with two network connections for full internet access. Each residence hall is equipped with coin-operated laundry facilities. You can also use your Carroll Card to operate the machines. The cost is $1.00 to wash and $.25/22 minutes to dry. Coin-operated vending machines are located in each hall. You can also use your Carroll Card to purchase items. The number of machines and selection of food products depends upon the size of the residence hall and the needs of its occupants. All vending machines are contracted by the university with local firms. If a machine is not functioning properly and needs service, contact your residence hall office. If you lose money in a vending machine, please leave your name and the amount of money in the mailroom. As a matter of courtesy, please place an out-of-order sign on a machine which is not functioning properly. U.S. Mail Service Students may pick up mail in the mail room located off of the Atrium in the D.J. Lombardo Student Center. A box number is assigned to each resident on campus and should be used on all correspondence addressed to you. Your address should look like this:
It is important that those corresponding with you do not include "P.O." or "Box" before your number so that mail is routed quickly and correctly. Problems with your mail service should be directed to the main mail room in the Administration Building. Linen Program Our residence hall rooms contain extra-long twin beds which require special linens to comfortably fit the mattresses. We have arranged to provide the opportunity to conveniently purchase these extra-long linens. You will receive a letter and order form in the mail this summer that describes the products and special value packages that are available. Make sure you order by the deadline to ensure that you will receive your linens at home before you depart for campus. For more details or to place an order, please call 1-800-957-4338 or check out the website (www.rhl.org/jcu). Summer Storage Storage is not available on campus during the academic year, however there is limited on-campus storage available each summer through the Residence Hall Association. Be sure to check your e-mail and campus mail for more information toward the end of each Spring semester.
