Residence Hall

The residence hall is a three-story building with four sections or pods around a common area on each floor. Each pod has three bedrooms containing two beds each, a bathroom with a shower and laundry facilities. You will be assigned a roommate or you can request a specific roommate when you apply for a room. Single rooms are not available. The hall has room for 75 students, including rooms for one RA per floor.

Men are assigned to one floor and women to another; the third floor is coed. You have access to wireless and high-speed Internet connections and cable television. Phone jacks for landlines are in each room. You are responsible for bringing your own phone, if you choose, and arranging phone service with a provider.

You will be assigned a twin bed, desk, chair, wardrobe and a chest with three drawers. You need to bring your own sheets, towels, pillows, toiletries and any other personal items. A refrigerator and microwave are located in each common area, but you may choose to have your own mini-fridge and a microwave in your room. Hotplates are not allowed.

One room on each floor is ADA accessible. There is elevator service to all floors from the ground level. If you need special accommodations, contact the residential life coordinator at 509.682.6706.

The cost for the first quarter is $1,280 plus a $60 technology fee and a $450 deposit. The $450 deposit is due with your application form. If you decide on other housing 30 days prior to moving in, the deposit will be returned to you. If you decide to leave mid-year, your deposit will not be returned. At the end of the academic year, your deposit may be returned to you if there is no damage to your room and common area. Students are committing to the entire academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring), breaking your residence hall contract will result in a $750 early termination fee.  There is an appeal process available for extenuating circumstances; contact the WVC Residential Life Coordinator for more information.

The WVC Café is located in Van Tassell Center and operated by the Alley Café of Leavenworth, Wash. The café is open from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. The café is closed weekends.

You have the option to purchase a flex-pass meal card each quarter for food items in the WVC Café. The card works like a debit card and may have additional amounts added to the total. A 10% bonus is applied to flex-passes of $250 and $500. If you purchase a $250 card you will receive $262 and if you purchase a $500 card it will be worth $550.

One resident adviser (RA) is assigned to each floor. RAs help residents plan group activities, mediate conflicts, answer questions, enforce college policies and serve as resources for students for a positive living and learning atmosphere. RAs are selected through an application process and employed by WVC.

If interested in applying for an RA position, contact the residential life coordinator at 509.682.6706.

 A residence life coordinator lives across the parking lot and is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Office hours are established for day-to-day operational questions. You will have a key card to access the building, your floor and your room. Campus security officers patrol the college grounds and are available in emergencies. They can be reached at 6911 (from a campus phone) or 509.423.3705.

 Parking is available for 48 vehicles at the hall. You get a free pass to park in this lot. If you do not have a pass and park in a campus lot, you will be ticketed. On-street parking may be available.

 All students taking 10 or more credits are eligible to live in the hall. You should complete an application and provide a $450 deposit two weeks before the start of the quarter you plan to attend.
