Maintenance, Normal Business Hours

Staff is available to fix items that are furnished with your apartment/unit. Call the Residential and Dining Services Office 360.867.6132 or the Work Order line 360.867.6764 to request a work order. You will need to supply your name, phone and room number, and details of the work needed.

Work orders are prioritized depending on the situation (overflowing toilets take priority over a burned-out light). By submitting a work order you give Housing staff permission to enter your room.

Residential and Dining Services Office

The Residential and Dining Services Office is located on the third floor of A building and is open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. We are closed on campus holidays and have reduced hours of operation during academic breaks.

The Residential and Dining Services Office provides information on: applications, contracts, assignments, check-in/check-out, billing questions, transfers, contract breaks/releases, work orders (repairs), lockouts and smoke alarm resets. Also other services such as local directions and vacuums. We can make referrals to our professional live-in staff for concerns about a resident's well-being or safety.

Phone

Nextel and Qwest seem to have the strongest cell phone signal on campus. Other providers work, but you may need to stand near a window or even go outside. Land-line service is provided by Qwest in bedrooms only. For more information visit www.qwest.com or call 800.244.1111.

Prime Time Academic Center

The Prime Time Advisor from Academic Advising can assist you in exploring educational options and developing your education plan. The Prime Time Advisor has the most up-to-date list of course offerings, can advise you on individual contracts or internships, and review your draft contract/internship proposal. The Writing Center provides tutors for writing papers and self-evaluations and helping with reading assignments.

The Prime Time Academic Center is open Sundays to Thursdays, 6 to 9 pm and is located on the second floor of A building. The center is closed for campus holidays and academic breaks.

Resident Assistants

The principal goal of the Resident Assistant is to assist in building a healthy community. Resident Assistants are role models within their community. They are expected to make weekly one-on-one contact with you, and to refer residents experiencing academic, personal or emotional challenges to their Resident Director. These may include roommate conflicts, substance abuse, assaults, and depression/suicidal/psychotic concerns, among others.

Resident Assistants facilitate social, recreational and cultural activities throughout the year. They check you in, perform walkthroughs, visit parties and do a final walkthrough before you can check out. They facilitate Living Learning Agreements with all residents in their community by Monday of the third week of each quarter. Resident Assistants post a weekly schedule of availability on their front doors.

Your Resident Assistant can answer most questions about your rental contract, help you with room transfers, mediate roommate conflicts, notify your Resident Director and forward pertinent information to your new Resident Assistant if you transfer rooms.

Resident Assistants file Incident Reports for all serious policy violations and are required to confront policy violations while on or off duty and to document the occurrence.

Resident Directors

A Resident Director is a full-time, live-in professional whose purpose is to facilitate, create, maintain and promote a safe and secure residential community. The Resident Director supervises an area staff of Resident Assistants and responds to questions and concerns raised by residents' parents and/or family members.

Resident Directors proactively enforce policies and procedures delineated in the Rental Contract, Residential and Dining Services Policies and Evergreens' Rights and Responsibilities. They ensure that policy violations are addressed appropriately by reviewing the duty-log, incident reports and police reports daily. Resident Directors provide individual advising with residents as needed and make referrals to appropriate campus and community resources when necessary. They provide crisis management, conflict management and mediation assistance for residents. Resident Directors maintain regular office hours and are readily available for residents, staff and other members of the Evergreen community.

The on-duty/on-call Resident Director is in charge of Residential and Dining Services during non-business hours and responds to emergencies, troubleshoots Residential and Dining and resident concerns, and performs follow-up investigations where necessary. During major disasters, the on-duty Resident Director serves as the Residential Operations Officer. This Resident Director is available to assist all residents and staff when requested to ensure a safe and healthy community.

Vacuums

Using your Evergreen ID, you can check out a vacuum for one hour from the Residential and Dining Services Office during normal business hours. After hours until 11 pm and weekends between 10 am and 11 pm call campus dispatch at Police Services 360.867.6832 to contact the on-duty Resident Assistant who will meet you at the Residential and Dining Services Office.
