When will I receive my room assignment?

What if I want to change my room assignment?
You may request a move to an available space in accordance with established procedures. Room change requests will be accepted three weeks after move-in, depending on the type of change you wish to make.
Where can I do my laundry?
All residence halls have washing machines and dryers at no charge.
Who cleans my room?
Your room (and bathroom, if you live in MCRC) are your responsibility. Some housekeeping equipment is provided for student use and is located in the laundry rooms of the residence hall. Maintenance issues must be reported to the Director of Security & Residential Life immediately or the office of Student Affairs. While our custodial staff helps maintain the public areas of the residence hall, including laundry rooms, commons and hallways, students must clean up after using these areas. Items left in these areas will either be taken to the lost and found in Student Affairs or disposed of. The College assumes no responsibility for items left unattended.
How will my room be furnished?
The following furnishings are provided by MACC:
- XL Twin beds with mattresses
- Closets
- Dressers
- Window treatments
When can I check in?
You may check in beginning the Friday before classes start in August. Students participating in a specific activity or program may be allowed to check in earlier. You will be given access to your room at check-in. A schedule will be included in your welcome packet.
Are my belongings insured while I'm living in the residence hall?
The College does not purchase property insurance covering any loss of, or damage to, a student’s personal property, and the College assumes no responsibility for the payment of such a loss. Verify that your parents’ insurance policy covers full-time students living away from home.
Are kitchen facilities available?
There is a kitchen with a stove, refrigerator and microwave in the commons area. Remember to bring your own dishes, utensils and basic cooking equipment. It is the responsibility of the student to clean this area after each use. Dirty items left in the kitchen area overnight will be disposed of. The College assumes no responsibility for items left unattended.
Can I ship things to campus before I am scheduled to arrive?
MACC cannot accept deliveries for you before you have checked in. For that reason, plan your shipping time carefully. Make sure the carrier you choose will hold your luggage or packages until you are scheduled to check in. The address for all mail and packages is 1213 Fisk Avenue, Moberly, MO 65270.
How is my mail delivered?
Mail and packages are delivered to the office of Student Affairs daily. Always include your real name along with your street address:
Example:
Taylor Swift
101 S. College Ave., Room 13
Moberly, MO 65270
Where do I park my car, and how can I get a parking permit?
Adequate parking is available right outside the residence hall in general parking. All residents need a parking permit to use campus lots. Fines will be issued to all vehicles parking in spaces reserved for faculty/staff, visitors and disabled placards without the proper permit for those spaces. You should register your vehicle(s) and pick up your permit from Security inside the Student Affairs office. If you have parking questions, contact the Director of Security & Residential Life at (660) 263-4100 ext. 11247. Bicycle racks are available across campus – you must use these to park your bicycle. Use of any other surfaces (trees, handrails, street signs, etc.) to park your bicycle may result in removal by the College. Bicycles are not allowed inside the buildings. Bicycles do not need to be registered and there is no charge for bringing one to campus.
Can I smoke in the residence halls?
No. All MACC facilities are designated tobacco-free. This means residents may not use tobacco products anywhere in the building, including student rooms.
Residents who violate the non-smoking policy are subject to disciplinary action.
Can I light candles, burn incense, or use either solely as decoration?
No. The possession of candles or incense (lit or unlit) in the residence halls is strictly prohibited, even if used just for decoration. Residents found in violation of this policy may be subject to disciplinary action. These items will be confiscated if found during inspections.
