JIM D. PRINCE, Acting Director
University Courtyard, Fresno State's on-campus living complex, offers
newly remodeled facilities to students. The recent renovation includes new
furnishings, paint, carpet, window coverings, and the addition of residence
suites, a fitness center, and computer laboratory.
Living on campus will be an important part of your educational experience.
As part of a community of students, you will share experiences, learn to
trust one another, and support each other in achieving academic success.
Your room is fully furnished and air conditioned. A meal plan, basic cable
service, utilities, outdoor swimming pool, laundry facility, recreation
facilities, and community custodial services are included.
Residence Hall Living. The convenience of on-campus living makes
it easy to go to and from class, use the campus library, and attend dances,
plays, lectures, and concerts during evenings and weekends.
The halls offer interesting programs designed to add an exciting dimension
to on-campus living. Social activities include karaoke, bowling, special
dinners, barbecues, and movies. Educational programs provide information
on such topics as alcohol awareness, appreciation of differences, and personal
safety.
Individual Halls. The housing complex consists of nine residence
halls, the Housing Support Services Building, and the Residence Dining Facility.
Baker, Graves, and Homan Halls are designed to encourage community development.
Aspen, Birch, Cedar, Ponderosa, Sequoia, and Sycamore provide shared one-,
two-, or three-bedroom residence suites with a living room and bathroom.
Quiet, substance-free, and international living areas are available. All
halls house men on one floor, wing, or suite and women on another. A total
of 1,000 students live on campus.
The majority of the rooms are shared by two students, although approximately
120 single rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Staff. Trained professionals are available to help make your stay
in the residence halls enjoyable. Specialists in programming assist you
in developing social, cultural, educational, and recreational programs and
activities.
Augmenting the staff are the resident director, associate resident advisor,
resident advisor staffs, and community service officer. Serving as student
leaders on each floor, residence life staff receive training in active listening
and crisis intervention. They understand university structure; they can
assist students with academic-related issues, emergencies, and personal
concerns.
How to Apply. The housing application process is separate from the
university admissions process.
Applications are available in February for the fall semester and in October
for the spring semester. You are urged to apply early since on-campus space
is limited and current residents receive priority room selection. Your license
agreement is for an entire academic year.
All first-time undergraduate university applicants automatically receive
housing information. You need not wait until you are officially accepted
by the university to submit your housing application. If you are denied
admission, your deposit will be refunded (less a $50 processing fee) after
you notify us in writing. To request a housing application, contact the
Housing Office at (800) 555-0482 or (559) 278-2345.
Employment Opportunities. Students living in the residence halls receive
priority consideration for student positions available in housing, food
services, athletics, and the bookstore. Information is included in your
housing application packet.
Priority Registration. Current residents who sign up by April 11
to return to the halls for the following year receive priority registration
for courses.
Off-Campus Housing. For information on houses, rooms, and students
looking for roommates, call (559) 278-1000. The university does not
inspect, approve, or disapprove any units offered for rent.
