Some handy information in case this happens to you during your first couple of days on campus…. See you soon!
The time and day that you are locked out determines whom you should call or visit. If you are locked out when the 
Office of Residential Life is open (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday), come down to the Lower Level of North College to borrow a key. There is no charge for this service as long as the key is returned by 5 p.m. on the day it is signed out. Between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., please contact the RA on duty who will let you in. The cost is $10 per lock out. At all other times (between 5-8 p.m. and 8-8:30 a.m.), please contact the Office of Public Safety at x2345 and they will let you in, again at a cost of $10 per lock out. For more information about lock changes, refer to the ResLife website at http://www.wesleyan.edu/reslife/Policies/lock_change.html
Through an agreement with Wesleyan University, students may subscribe with AT&T to provide cable television service to their residential unit. The U-Verse 100 package costs $49 per month, and additional set-top boxes (to be able to access the cable service in more than one room) cost $7 per month. Upgraded packages are also available. Interested students should call 860-685-4499, and leave your name and phone number, and best times to reach you. A representative from AT&T will call you to obtain the necessary additional information. If you plan to share the cable service with someone with whom you will be living, only one of you needs to contact AT&T. If you already gave your name and number to the AT&T representative during room selection, you do not need to call, unless you have not yet heard from them.

spring semester, EON collects unwanted items and then, in the fall, we hold a HUGE tag sale to sell those items back to the community, thereby keeping valuable items out of the landfill and in circulation. Proceeds from the sale will go to local charities and Sustainability at Wesleyan. We’ll be holding the sale September 5, 6, and 7 from 2-5 p.m. each day at Mocon, the round building between the Nics and Hewitt. It’s gonna be awesome. 
If you are looking for guidance on what items to bring with you to campus besides your clothes, toothbrush and computer, check out the links below for suggestions. Naturally, you may pack items we have not listed here due to your unique, personal needs. You also may want to check with your roommate to see what items can be shared. Pay close attention to the “prohibited items” list; possession of these items in your room can result in fines and confiscation of the item.
