Housing & Residential Education offers the following optional services to students living on campus, available on a first-come, first-served basis:
Students living in any of our apartment areas, including Benchmark Plaza, Shoreline Ridge, Downtown Commons or Marriott Honors Community will have Microwaves in the common area of their apartment. Students in other communities can rent a microchill unit through our vendor, College Products.
Microwaves are currently available to residents in community kitchenettes in the following areas:
- Officers Circle
- Chapel Glen
- Gateway Heights
- Sage Point
- Lassonde Studios
- Kahlert Village
Microwaves are currently available to residents in their apartment kitchen in the following areas:
- Downtown Commons
- Marriott Honors Community
- Lassonde Studios
- Benchmark Plaza
- Shoreline Ridge
Microchill Units are recommended for residents in the following areas because they do not have full-sized refrigerators in their units:
- Chapel Glen
- Gateway Heights
- Sage Point
- Lassonde Studios
- Kahlert Village
Housing & Residential Education continues to expand indoor and outdoor covered bicycle storage spaces each year. Unfortunately, at this time availability for these storage areas is limited, and there are not enough spaces to meet demand. In an effort to make this process as fair as possible, a randomized lottery process is used to select students who have requested this optional service.
After selecting your preferred room, click "I want to be considered for bike storage lottery in my building" (before submitting the $200 reservation fee payment).
Important information:
- Students may change bookings/swap room reservations before July 1 with no impact/change needed to the lottery.
- Lottery will be pulled for bike storage access based on reserved building on July 1.
- HRE notifies students of lottery results on July 1.
- Students who get a storage space have until July 17 to "accept" bike storage in the portal and agree to the semester fee included on the August 1 tuition bill.
- Students who didn't get the lottery have until July 17 to confirm if they want to be on a bike storage "waitlist" in the portal. If there's a cancellation, we use the lottery "number" to determine the waitlist spot.
- Students who did or didn't get the lottery and do not respond are removed from the lottery on July 18, and the next resident on the waitlist receives a bike storage space.
- Bike storage is for residents of specific buildings and is not transferrable to another person or another building if the student changes reservations after July 1.
Cost:
Students who are chosen in the lottery process will confirm their choice in the Housing U Portal and see a $56 charge for the entire semester added to their student account. This charge is not refundable or pro-rated if a student terminates their housing agreement.
Bicycle Storage Agreement
The renter (Student) of this bicycle storage space understands and agrees to the following:
- Storage is for a bicycle only. No other personal property may be stored here. If property other than a bicycle is stored, the property will be removed without notice and disposed of. No motor-powered vehicle (including mopeds, e-bike’s, or similar vehicles) or flammable fuels may be stored.
- Storage is for one bicycle only. No other personal property may be stored here. If property other than a bicycle is stored, the property will be removed without notice and disposed of. No motor-powered vehicle (including mo-ped or like vehicles) or flammable fuels may be stored. The use of the storage space may not be sold to anyone.
Available at: Heritage Commons (Officers Circle residents are able to purchase storage in Gateway Heights located across the street), the Marriott Honors Community, Kahlert Village, and Lassonde Studios.
Storage Options for Students without Indoor Bicycle Storage
- Students are able to store bicycles in their room if there is enough space, and if you've agreed to this with any roommate(s)!
- There are plentiful outdoor uncovered racks
- HRE recommends that students register their bicycle with the U Police online property registration system to record the serial number of valuable property. This will make it easier to recover your property if it is stolen.
Once a student checks into their room, they can return to Housing U to request a loft kit if they are in a building that accommodates loft kits. Facilities teams are available during all move in days, including early arrivals, to support a quick loft kit installation once you get to your room and see how the space might work for you. Loft kits are completed at no charge to the student! Loft kits are automatically added to all triple rooms to maximize space for residents.
Buildings with loftable beds include:
- Chapel Glen
- Sage Point
- Gateway Heights
- Officer's Circle
- Kahlert Village
- Marriott Honors Community
- Lassonde
Unfortunately we are unable to provide a loft kit in Downtown Commons, University Guest House, Benchmark Apartments, and Shoreline Apartments, either due to the ceiling height in the building, or due to the bed type provided. When we have offered loft kits in these spaces in the past, residents removed them because of how close they are to the ceiling. Beds at U of U The Draw can be easily adjusted by residents to raise to a height, or residents can submit a work order for assistance once they move in.
