Student Life may request documentation such as a letter and proof of residency from a parent/guardian stating that they will be housing the student with them within 15 miles of campus or medical documentation from a healthcare provider. Please know that the request is not personal but rather in the spirit of getting the most information to make the decision that is best for the student.
Once all documentation is provided, Student Life will notify the student by email within 7–10 business days of receiving the request and/or necessary documentation.
Bike Registration
To register a bike on campus, complete the form below. Once the form has been completed, drop by the Student Life Office to obtain a sticker to place on your bike. Bikes that are not registered or have their stickers in a visible location may be removed by the Facilities or Student Life Staff.
Registering your bike helps to recover it should your bike become lost or stolen. Be sure to always lock your bike and never leave it in places that block hallways or exits.
