Most apartments have free guest wireless service available.  See “Internet Access for Summer Residents” (http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/network/summer.html) for details on how to access this service from your personal computer or mobile device. For those areas without guest wireless access, residents may purchase a temporary Guest ResNet account. This account provides wired broadband Internet access for one computer in a residence hall room or apartment.  There is a non-refundable service fee of $54.83 to set up the account, which is valid through August 2013.

Please note that personal wireless hubs or routers are not allowed on the University network. Our network is designed as a shared resource, and unauthorized devices (like wireless hubs or routers) cause disruptions to service for others. Please leave yours at home.

 Local phone service is available to guests in their residence hall room or apartment.  Guests must provide their own analog phone.  There is a non-refundable service fee of $27.42 to set up local phone service; if you choose to change rooms, you will have to pay $27.42 to move the service to the new room.

Rates are based on length of stay:
5 weeks: $16.67 local calling plan + state/city sales tax + $27.42 non-refundable service fee

Thereafter:                                                          0%

Special consideration will be given for cancellation due to medical problems or active military duty after the second week if you have provided documentation for the refund exemption.

CHANGES

A thirty day written notice of arrival/departure changes in advance of arrival date is required to prevent being charged for the dates on the reservation request form/assignment letter. Any change of dates may invalidate the apartment assignment. No change of dates will be permitted once residents arrive.
