Q: May I ship some of my belongings to my residence hall room before I arrive?
A: Yes. About a week before your expected arrival, pack your belongings securely and address them as instructed in the address section on this page.

Q: My roommate canceled his/her enrollment at Tech. What will happen now?
A: If your roommate cancels, we will assign a new roommate and send you his/her contact information.

Q: Can I have a guest stay in my room?
A: Yes. Register your guest at the reception desk, and they can stay with you in your room for up to four days. Ask your resident assistant (RA) for details.

Q: Do I need renter’s insurance?
A: The University does not assume responsibility for or carry insurance covering the personal property of students. Students are advised to check the coverage provided by existing family policies or make arrangements to purchase their own policies.

Q: Can I store my things in the residence halls?
A: Storage areas are available for you to use in the hall living areas; however, space is very limited. Anything kept in storage must be marked with your name, room number, and the date. Stored items that are not properly marked may be removed and discarded. Michigan Tech does not assume responsibility for items left in storage.
