Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I apply for Campus Housing?
- You may apply for housing at this website: www.evergreen.edu/rad/apply Once you have applied, be sure to start checking your Evergreen Email Account on a regular basis for further instructions on securing yourself a room for the year.
- When can I check in?
- Fall quarter check in begins the Saturday 9 days before classes begin in the fall, this gives time for Orientation Week activities. Winter and Spring quarter check in begins the Sunday before the first day of class of the quarter. You can always check in later, but you should let us know by emailing rad@evergreen.edu or calling 360.867.6132. After applying and paying your confirmation fee, you will receive detailed information regarding check in.
- Why am I not receiving your emails?
- There are two reasons you might not be receiving our emails. It is important that you do not allow your Evergreen Email Inbox to fill up. If your Inbox is full, you will not be able to receive any emails. Another problem you might be running into often occurs when your emails are forwarded to an outside email provider (e.g. Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, etc.). Some providers filter out emails from Evergreen as junk mail and may delete them before you ever see them. It might be best to add our address (rad@evergreen.edu) to your safe list or un-forward your Evergreen Email Address.

Our apartments come with a refrigerator, stove and oven, dining room table and chairs, a couch, a chair, a coffee table, and a washable shower curtain.
- What should I bring with me?
- A good rule of thumb is that if you can't reasonably fit it all in a 1987 Volvo wagon, you shouldn't be bringing it. Visit our what to bring page for more information.
- What is my address?
- To figure out what your address is, please refer to this website:www.evergreen.edu/rad/services/home.htm#mailaddress Also note that your address should have been emailed to you upon receipt of your housing assignment.

- Residential and Dining Services provides free internet throughout each apartment (each room has an orange or green ethernet data jack, most rooms also have wifi coverage), as well as cable television in all common spaces (first-year hall common rooms, apartment living rooms, etc.). If you would like to purchase your own high speed internet or television for your bedroom, then you would want to purchase it through an outside company.
