Parent and Guardian Information
We know that parents are invested in their student’s education in ways that go beyond help with tuition and home-cooked meals during breaks.
And when your student is away from the nest, you want to know they have all of the support they need.
Each of our housing complexes have anywhere from three-fourteen resident assistants, a building assistant and a resident director to assist students with their needs. If your student has any concerns, encourage them to speak with their resident assistant or resident director. Residents can visit their complex office for assistance 24/7. After hours, if someone is not in the office, call the cell phone number posted in the window.
Housing and Residence Life can be reached at 423-425-4304.
For emergency situations or assistance 24/7 contact Campus Police at 423-425-4357.
