How much does laundry cost?

Laundry is free at SAU.

Where are laundry machines located?

Washer machines and dryers are located within each residential facility. Weston Hall has washer and dryers on the first floor. Latham Hall has laundry and every floor. Boyer Hall has laundry on the first and second floor. Falkcrest Courts has laundry in Building 711 and the Clubhouse.

Does a washer or dryer require maintenance attention in your residence hall?

Please email your Resident Director and inform a Resident Assistant. Once someone on staff is notified, a work order can be submitted to ensure service is scheduled.

Need help doing laundry?

It’s ok. Many students come to campus not knowing the difference between laundry detergent and fabric softener. Feel free to ask a Resident Assistant or Hall Director to assist you on the process.

From time to time, items break in residence hall rooms. From burned out light bulbs and squeaky door hinges to clogged toilets/ bathtubs and faulty HVAC units, SAU Residential Life & Education and Facilities Management are dedicated to quickly solving your issue so you can get back to living your normal day to day life. You can alert Residential Life Staff to any issues in your residence hall space by following the below instructions:

1. Email the Residence or Assistant Resident Director (Best method).
2. Call the Residence Director (Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.).
3. Call the Resident Assistant on call phone (Hours posted in Residence Hall).
4. Report to the Residence Hall Staff at the Information Desk or Clubhouse.
5. Call Campus Safety and someone on call will be reached.

What is a maintenance emergency?

When a repair is needed immediately to protect the safety of students or the facility, call 919.516.4411 to report the issue and receive immediate assistance. Emergencies may include active leaks or water running where it shouldn’t; climate control issues, particularly on very hot or very cold days/nights; power outages; broken keys/locks; or broken windows.

If you see a pest in your building, please report it to the Hall Director Staff in person or via email. If the Hall Director is unavailable, please contact the Resident Assistant on duty. Be as specific as possible when contacting the residence hall staff, with the location, type of pest, and how many were noticed. Our pest control contractor will respond to inspect the area and treat as needed. If a more intensive treatment is necessary, instructions will be provided on how to properly prepare your living space for treatment, and the treatment will be scheduled to coincide with that preparation.

If you are locked out of your room during office hours (Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.), visit your hall’s information desk or Resident Directors Office to let you in. If you are locked out after hours or on weekends, visit the information desk in your hall, and the resident assistants will escort you to your room to unlock the door. If nobody is at the information desk, please contact the RA on duty phones (the number is posted through the residence hall). If there is no response, please call campus safety at 919.516.4411.
