Parent Information

Housing & Residence Life aims to meet your student's needs. With the best environment available your student will excel at Weber State University. Housing & Residence Life provides:
Roommate Matching

Looking for your perfect match? No worries!

A huge factor in how good your student's college experience will be is the type of roommates your student has. Be confident that Housing & Residence Life will help your student get matched to roommates with similar interests and traits. Housing & Residence Life matches on many different criteria. Some of the criteria are listed below:

  • Roommate request
  • Lifestyle - ie. night owl, early bird, quiet
  • Degree / Field of Study
  • Personal Interests
  • Extracurricular activities
  • Class year

When filling out a housing application, applicants can specify whatever criteria they want their roommates to fit.

Individual Lease Liability

Roommate hasn't paid up? No worries!

Weber State Housing provides individual lease liability. If your roommate skips out on rent, you are not liable for his/her rental payment. Sleep well by knowing there will be no unexpected rental payments to make up the difference.

To find out more details about individual lease liability call our office at 801.626.7275.

Payment Options

Three types of payment options.

  1. Semester payment plan
  2. Monthly payment plan: either six month or eight month plan
  3. Financial Aid

The semester payment plan requires that payment be made in full before the spring or fall semester begins. The monthly payment plan requires that you pay an installment of the total over the six or eight month span. The details about the payment plans can be viewed on our floor plans & rates page. To find out more about getting financial aid for housing please call the Financial Aid Office at 801.626.7965.

Flex Dollars
Flex dollars is money on students' wildcat cards for the food court in the Union Building.  Your wildcat card acts just like a debit card. Take a look at the menu choices for flex dollars at the dining services web site.
On Call Staff:

We have twenty-four-hour on call staff. There is always a Resident Assistant and Area Coordinator on call to assist in any emergency that may arise in your students stay at Weber State Housing. Roommate mediation, conflict resolution, and emergency resolution are all part of what the Resident Assistants are trained to handle.

Connection Program:

Statistics say that the more a student is involved, the more likely the student will succeed in his/her scholastic career. Housing & Residence Life has an exclusive program to get your student involved. It is called the Connection Program. The mission statement of the connection program states:

"It is the mission of the Weber State Residence Life Staff to connect with our residents early and often. We are committed to each student's individual success and are invested in aiding them in achieving the learning out-comes they desire. We want to create a living and learning community where students feel comfortable, have life-changing experiences, and want to stay for the duration of their college experience. It is our goal to accomplish this mission through personal connectedness with each resident. "

The connection program is more than any other college program. This program is described to the Resident Assistants as a way to make relationships.

A behind-the-scenes-look into the Resident Assistant manual tells us what "connection" means.

‘Connections’ is simply a new way to look at our relationship with residential students and is based on the [University of North Carolina-Charlotte’s] research from the ‘Get Connected’ project. The word ‘connections’ best describes the process Resident Assistants go through in:

  1. Meeting their residents
  2. Getting to know their residents
  3. Helping their residents establish support networks

When you engage in this process as an RA, you are making connections with individual residents by finding out who they are and what they like to do. At the same time, you are also encouraging individual residents to make their own connections by bringing residents together and serving as an information resource for them. Resident [Assistants] build relationships and in case you didn’t notice, relationship-building is the same as MAKING CONNECTIONS!”

As a parent you can rest assured that your student will have the chance to get involved and make meaningful relationships if they live in Weber State Housing. Also, to learn more about this program feel free to give our Assistant Director a call at 801.626.7275, also check out our photo gallery to see what students and staff are up to!
