Guide to Campus Living - Microfridge/Washer/Dryer/Vending Policies
Microfridge Units
- Students are permitted to have only one refrigerator per residence hall room.
- In apartments, no additional refrigerators are permitted as one is provided by the University.
- Refrigerator units should not be more than 4 cubic feet and must be UL or FM approved, must be properly grounded and may not exceed a power draw of 10amps.
- The university provides grounded outlets.
- In order to have a microwave in the room, a resident must rent or purchase the Microfridge unit from University Logistics. This Microfridge unit allows for the safe draw of electrical power to the student room as it is designed specifically for residence hall rooms in large buildings.
- Students may NOT bring a personal microwave unit to the halls. However, two microwaves are provided in the public lounge of each residence hall. Thus, many students may not feel the need to have a personal microwave in their room.
