HOW SHOULD I PACK?
1. ORGANIZE
Organized packing makes unloading and settling in
easier.
2. PACK SMART
Have your belongings in manageable boxes or suit-
cases, so that they can be transferred from your
vehicle to your residence room safely and securely.
3. LABEL
Label all of your belongings with marker on masking
tape. Make sure to include your name and resi-
dence building and room number so your belong-
ings aren’t misplaced.
4. BE PREPARED
Be prepared to get your belongings into your room.
Bring a dolly or hand-truck as there may be a ways
to go and/or stairs! Note: Each resident will only
be allowed 2 helpers (preferably of the same social
circle ). REMEMBER JUST 2!
5. CHECK THE WEATHER
Make sure to plan for the weather! If it looks like
rain bring a tarp or big sheet of plastic to protect
your belongings.
Please take a look at our Residence Move In Day Information webpage to be up-to-date with all important Admis-
sions Information, and check out our detailed list of what to bring and what not to bring for Traditional, Semi-Suite,
Suite Style and Townhouse residences.
Please note: If you plan on having mail or packages delivered to residence, please DO NOT send anything before
Monday, September 6, 2021 as we do not have the space to store items prior to your arrival. Have it delivered to
you at home or after you have moved into residence. See the Residence Handbook for details on how to address it.
Section b: faq WHAT APPLIANCES AND FURNISHINGS AM I ALLOWED? All Brock University Residence rooms are already fully furnished with a twin bed, a dresser, a desk and chair, closet or wardrobe, shelving, and garbage bins. Townhouse Style residences also have furnished living rooms and kitchens equipped with a sofa, a chair, tables, and eating area. If you're thinking about bringing extra furnishings and/or appliances you MUST read our Allowable Appliances and Allowable Furnishings documents. Due to your room and unit being fully furnished there is limited space for extra furnishings and appliances, and any- thing that is brought in must be made of metal or plastic. Why? To help reduce fire safety hazards and potential pest problems. Everyone wants to be on the safe side!
Section b: faq RESIDENCE LINENS AND COLDEX PROGRAMS The Department of Residences has partnered with two companies that will help make your transi- tion to living in residence more smoothly. Residence Linens and Coldex are two companies that supplies bedroom linens and rental mini fridges. For Townhouse and Suite Style Residences (Village, Quarry View and the Lofts (Building 9), Coldex also has small freezers (5 cubic feet) availa- ble for rent. Residence Linens provides and delivers various linens directly to Brock University . *note you are not required to purchase these services, but are recommended to make your transi- tion to university simpler! If you choose to bring your own linen and mini fridge, please consult the allowable furnishings and appliances section of this document as there are limitations on items you can bring into residence. For more information about Residence Linens, visit https://residencelinens.com/ For more information about Coldex Mini Fridge and Freezer Rentals, visit https:// coldexrents.com/ When ordering, ensure you select Brock University as your school and give your correct building and room number you are staying in. If you do not know your residence room number, please check your Brock Office 365 email as rooming assignments have been sent out. As always, you can contact the Department of Residences at res@brocku.ca if you have any questions.
Section b: faq
CONTENT INSURANCE
ALL STUDENTS LIVING IN RESIDENCE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE CONTENT
INSURANCE (Either personal or through Brock University’s Department
of Residences)
It is important to know that you are responsible for insuring your own belongings. Brock University is NOT
responsible or liable (directly or indirectly) for your belongings should they become damaged or if they are
stolen. Content insurance is insurance that pays for damage to, or loss of, an individual’s possessions while
they are located within that individual’s home.
Usually, your parent/guardian can add coverage to their home insurance plan. Brock University provides an
insurance program that will be charged to all residence students, except to those who provide proof of rea-
sonable coverage. The final date students can opt out of the university content insurance is Wednesday
September 15th, 2021. When opting out, you must provide the Department of Residences proof that you
have insurance through your parent/guardian.
For more information, please visit https://brocku.ca/residence/important-information/rules-and-
regulations/insurance/
Section b: faq
CAN I BRING MY PET?
As stated in the Residence Community Standards, which you agreed to when you applied to residence and
will agree to again once you move in, PETS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN RESIDENCE, not even for a visit!
What does the Residence Community Standards say exactly?
“Pets in Residence” (Level 2 Infraction)
Pets are not allowed in residence (not even as visitors to your residence). Only non-dangerous fish in
aquariums no larger than 5 gallons are permitted. If a student chooses to have such a tank, they are
responsible for ensuring its maintenance. No debris from the tank (including rocks/gravel) may be
put down any drain in residence. [Please note: Certified service animals are permitted in residence
while wearing identifying clothing (for non-residents) or with proper medical/supporting documenta-
tion and prior permission from the Manager, Residence Admissions and Administration (for resi-
dents)]. Charges for repairs or cleaning due to having a pet in residence will apply.”
This excerpt was taken from the Facilities Infraction Categories section of the Residence Community
Standards at https://brocku.ca/residence/infraction-levels/#pets
Section b: faq
ACCESSIBILITY ON CAMPUS
Accommodations in Vallee, Earp, Village and Lowenberger are available for students with accessibility
needs.
There are rooms available for specific accessibility needs, such as: visual fire alarms, door openers, accessi-
ble washrooms and showers etc. However, we are only able to make accommodations for students with
these needs who have told us in the online application process (there was a specific section in your applica-
tion that you needed to fill out for this purpose). If you have accessibility needs pertaining to your resi-
dence stay, and have not already contacted us, please e-mail the Department of Residences at
res@brocku.ca as soon as possible so we can help make your residence stay better.
In addition to letting us know, it is recommended that you register with Student Accessibility Services in or-
der to receive academic accommodations if necessary.
You can get all essential information here: https://brocku.ca/sas/
Contact them via phone 905-688-5550 ext. 3240 or e-mail them at askSAS@brocku.ca
If you have a family member coming with you on move-in who has accessibility needs, please email us
at res@brocku.ca so we can work with you to ensure their accessibility needs are met so they can also
enjoy the experience with you.
To find out more information about Brock's accessibility visit the Accessibility on Campus site.Section b: faq RESIDENCE COMMUNITY STANDARDS (RCS) The residence community is a unique environment in which we aim to balance residents’ needs as well as their academic successes during the students’ time in residence. For this purpose, Brock University’s Department of Residences has created a document entitled Residence Community Standards (RCS) which defines unacceptable behavior, outlines the levels and types of infractions, and describes in detail both the manner in which infractions are enforced and the kinds of sanctions applied. Residents are ex- pected to read, understand and abide by the information contained in this document. Each year we re- view the Residence Community Standards to best reflect our expectations for residents at Brock Univer- sity. Please review the updated Residence Community Standards at https://brocku.ca/residence/ important-information/community-standards/ You will also receive an updated copy in your move-in package when you move in. Please note: When you electronically submitted your application to residence using your my.brocku.ca account, you agreed to the following terms and conditions: For more information regarding the Residence Community Standards, please see the Residence Handbook.

Please note that these pictures are not to scale, but are simply a representation of the layout and furnish-
ings in a typical room so you have an idea of what your residence room will be like upon your arrival.
In most cases, the residence furniture is moveable, so you can rearrange your room to what is most com-
fortable for you. However, you must remember that before you move out you must put your room back
to the original layout. When you move-in you will receive a Bedroom Inventory and Condition Report
which will identify which style layout is most applicable to your room, please make sure to hold onto this
sheet for reference at the end of the year.
The End of Term Notice is an incredibly important document for when you move-out of residence, be-
cause if you do not follow it, there will be financial consequences. This document is part of your residence
agreement and cannot be disregarded. So please take fabulous care of your residence space and save
your money!Section b: faq
AM I ABLE TO ARRIVE EARLY?
Unfortunately, we DO NOT allow students to move in before their scheduled move in times. (Visit the
move-in day web page the timeslot for your room).
Please don’t come early.
Please come during your des-
ignated time slot.
Arriving on time helps to ensure and maintain traffic flow on campus and allow for physical distancing.
A FEW THINGS TO NOTE WHEN YOU ARE ON CAMPUS
WEARING MASKS
Non-medical masks/face coverings will be required when entering Brock University buildings, in-
cluding all residences and residence common spaces. They are also encouraged outside when
physical distancing cannot be achieved.
BROCK UNIVERSITY COVID-19 SCREENING ASSESSMENT TOOL
New measures regarding screening and tracking. Take some time to download the Brock Safety
App and review the Brock University COVID-19 Screening assessment tool. You will be required to
complete this screening upon arrival on campus. If you arrive with anyone to help you (maximum
two), they must complete screening, too.
BROCK UNIVERSITY VACCINATION REQUIREMENT
Brock University and Brock Residences have issued vaccination requirements. Please visit https://
brocku.ca/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccination/ for more information.Section c: arriving on campus
ARRIVING ON CAMPUS
• When you arrive on campus at your
scheduled date/time, look for a color
coded sign with your building/residence
name on it at one of the two main en-
trances to campus.
• Follow these signs and they will take you
through the internal Brock roads to the
unloading zone closest to your residence.
• Staff will be along the route at key points
to help guide you.
• At your unloading zone, have your move-
in parking permit visible on the dash of
your car (this is e-mailed to your Brock account in late August). Ensure your driver knows which room
in residence you will be staying in.
• Leave the driver with the vehicle to follow staff direction while you (the student) go get your keys
from your registration table. Only the student should go to the Registration table.
• Have in your hand picture ID, your Informed Consent form, and your proof of vaccination when you
go to the registration table (you will get Brock card on move-in). You will be given your keys, asked to
sign that you have received the proper keys, and asked to sign the Residence Agreement (the terms
and conditions of living in residence). If you are under 18 years old when you applied to Residence,
you will need a parent/guardian's signature and so they can attend the table as well.
• Take your keys and unload your stuff to your room/unit.
• You’ll have a brief time to unload near the building and after the car is unloaded, the driver will move
the car to the PARKING LOT where there is a 2 HOUR Maximum stay. There will be several signs di-
recting them.
• The driver can meet up with you at your room, where hopefully you’ll have already begun to unpack
and make it feel like home! Helpers can stay for 2 HOURS ONLY!!
• You may want to leave your room door open, so that you can meet house mates. However, don’t
leave your door propped unless you are present in your room, as that is a fire hazard, as well as a
safety issue for your belongings!
• Masks must be worn by all helpers inside the room/unit.Section c: arriving on campus
ARRIVING BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
If students are arriving by taxi, shuttle or another form of paid transportation, please follow the
signage to your building entrance. General building directions are on the next page of this docu-

meal plans provide the ultimate campus dining value, flexibility and convenience!
• Students living in a traditional residence such as Lowenberger, DeCew, Residence 8, Vallee, or Earp are
required to participate in the 7-day All-Access meal plan.
• Students living in a non-traditional residence style, Village, Lofts9, or Quarry View are required to par-
ticipate in a 5-day (Monday to Friday) All-Access meal plan. Please note that students living in Village or
