Lock Out Charges and Lock Changes

While it’s our expectation that you carry your key with you at all times, we understand things happen. If you find yourself locked out of your room (don’t worry, it happens) our RA staff is here to help! For a small fee added to your student account, an RA or any member of the HRL staff can let you back into your room.

Lock-out fees are as follows:

1st lock out = $10

2nd lock out = $15

3rd lock out = $25

If your key is lost, we will change your lock and replace your key for your own safety.  The charge for this service is $96 and will be added to your student account should this happen to you.

We recommend rocking one of those cool lanyards for sale in the bookstore or remembering to check your pockets/bag for your keys before you or your roommate leave the room.

Courtesy Checks

HRL staff (an RA and your RHD or RC) will be entering your rooms for the next two weeks to conduct Courtesy Checks.

During these inspections, staff will confiscate and give you a warning regarding any items in your room that do not meet our health and safety guidelines.  You’ll have a chance to bring the item home (or to somewhere else off-campus) at no penalty and without any judicial documentation.

Staff will leave behind a half-page form with the status of your Courtesy Check after it has been completed.

If you have questions about this process, please speak with your RA.

Pirate Preview Parent Presentation (say that 5 times fast!)

Hi Pirate Parents!

If you came to our Pirate Preview Parent Presentation, I promised I’d post our Powerpoint for your reference.

Or if you missed out on Pirate Preview, feel free to take a look and learn a little more about Housing & Residence Life.

Be sure to follow this blog for important updates throughout your Pirates’ journey at Seton Hall.

Pirate Preview 2017

The off-campus apartments life – Living in Ora Manor or Turrell Manor

Seton Hall University offers two off-campus apartment building options for upperclass students.  Both buildings are staffed by our highly trained RAs and an RHD.  The same on-campus residence hall policies apply but the apartment style living gives students more independence with being physically separated from campus.

Ora Manor

Ora Manor houses approximately 103 upperclassmen in newly renovated apartment-style housing that is owned and operated by Seton Hall University’s Housing & Residence Life. Ora Manor is about 2 miles from the South Orange campus. In the heart of South Orange Village, Ora Manor is within walking distance of grocery stores, banks, restaurants, pharmacies, the South Orange Train Station, and the South Orange Performing Arts Center and Clearview Cinemas among others. Parking Services runs a shuttle called SHUFLY which offers transportation to and from campus in addition to all of the above locations and the area mall. SHUFLY is free to all resident students.

Apartments contain either one single bedroom and one double bedroom (3 person) OR one single bedroom and two double bedrooms (5 person).  The 5 person option comes with an additional half bathroom.

All apartments have WiFi access and cable TV.  Kitchens are freshly renovated with beautiful counter tops and living room furniture is fairly new as well.  Laundry machines are found in the Ora Manor basement.

Turrell Manor

Turrell Manor is a unique living and learning community. It is home to 83 upperclass students who are committed to academic excellence and servant leadership as a means of building a vibrant community. The Turrell Manor experience is one that nurtures and aids students during their transition period from college into the world after graduation. This living experience provides a focus for out-of-class learning through programming that integrates intellectual stimulation, dedication to service, and social interaction in a community living environment.

Apartment options in Turrell Manor include: 1 person single, 2 person with 2 single bedrooms, 2 person double, 4 person double-doubles.  All windows and air conditioners are brand new and residents enjoy the convenience of an elevator and on-site mail delivery.

 

Spend your Summer in Sunny South Orange – Summer Housing Applications Now Available!

If you’re taking summer classes or have a University-affiliated job or internship, you’re welcome to sign up for Summer Housing.

Summer Housing will be assigned in South Boland Hall this year.  Students who wish to apply for summer housing may do so through the Summer Housing Application under the applications tab on their Housing Profile on PirateNet. There is no housing deposit required.

Summer room assignments are made “hotel style” meaning that room assignments will be made at the time of check in. Students wishing to be roommates should plan to check in together.

Summer 2017 Housing Rates

Registration time, Pirates!

As per our Housing License Agreement (that long document you agree to before you complete the Roommate Survey/Housing Application), you must be registered as a full-time student (which means 12 or more credits) unless you are graduating next semester to live in housing.

In other words, if you’re not signed up for classes for Fall 2017, you cannot select a room during Room Selection, no matter how many Priority Points you’ve accumulated. 

Check out the Seton Hall University registration schedule here and do everything you can to get registered for Fall 2017 before it’s time for you to pick a room.

Room Selection Instructions have just been sent to the 1225 students who qualified to be a part of Room Selection for 2017-2018. Be sure to check your SHU email and read this helpful Powerpoint before the lotteries start next week.
