CABLE

All residence hall rooms and University apartments (except Glassell/Wellsfry Apartments and University Houses) receive basic cable service. If you experience problems with your cable service, contact the Telecommunitcations department. Students who would like to purchase premium channels may do so by contacting Time Warner. Residents who live in the University Houses and Glassell or Wellsfry Apartments should contact Time Warner to establish cable service.

CHEVERTON COMMONS (Henley Basement)

Cheverton Commons, located in the Henley Basement, is available to all residents. This community center consists of Doy’s Place snack shop, music practice rooms with digital keyboards, a media room with a large screen TV, VCR, cable and DVD, John Biggs Conference Room, billiards, foosball and ping pong. Students may also use the laundry facilities and fitness room, and enjoy the sounds coming from the Chapman Radio studio. For questions about the Henley Basement, or to reserve a meeting room, please call the Henley Hall Office at (714) 628-2715.

COMPUTING/INTERNET ACCESS

Access to the high speed Internet service is available in all campus residence halls and apartments through Ethernet connections in the rooms. Additionally, wireless Internet is accessible throughout the campus. Students are also welcome to use one of our public access computers located in Henley Hall in the 1st floor study room and in the Sandhu Residence Center on the 2nd floor (straight across from the elevator). If you need any assistance, contact the Chapman Service Desk.

DAVIS COMMUNITY CENTER

The first floor of the Davis Community Center houses a lounge area for students to use, a large laundry room with card operated washers and dryers, as well as one of our package rooms. In addition, the Office of Housing & Residence Life is located on the second floor.

DINING SERVICES

All students who live in the residence halls are required to have a meal plan, which is included in the cost of room and board (students living in apartments are not required to have a meal plan). There are several meal plan options for the number of meals students can eat each week in the Randall Dining Commons (located in Sandhu Residence and Conference Center), as well as the amount of Panther Bucks that can be used at all the campus retail restaurants. Students will provide their ID card in order to be admitted into Randall Dining Commons or to access their Panther Bucks. Apartment residents and commuter students often choose to purchase a smaller meal plan as well. Please review our Dining Information for details on all of the meal plan options.

ENERGY CONSERVATION/SUSTAINABILITY 

As a Certified Green Department, the Office of Housing and Residence Life is dedicated to upholding Chapman's commitment to energy conservation and environmental sustainability. Here are a few tips to help us support this important mission:

• Don't watch TV while listening to the radio.

• Don't leave lights, air conditioners, TVs, stereos, or other electric appliances on when not in use.

• Try to take short showers.

• Carefully monitor your heating and air-conditioning use.

• Use the recycling bins located in each community.

LAUNDRY FACILITIES

LOUNGES

We encourage you to use the residence hall lounges for studying, relaxing, talking with friends, entertaining guests, and watching TV. Most residence halls contain lounge areas with comfortable furniture and TVs. In addition to student lounges, there are study rooms located in North Morlan (3^rd floor), Glass Hall (2^nd floor), Sandhu (2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th floors), as well as every floor in Pralle-Sodaro Hall and Henley Hall. Removal of the lounge furniture is strictly prohibited; removal of lounge furniture will result in a fine.  

MAIL AND PACKAGE SERVICES

Every student living on campus will receive a campus mailbox number. With over 2000 students living on campus, it is important that mail is carefully addressed with the following format in order to avoid a delay in delivery or return to sender.

If you live in the residence halls or Harris Apartments:

    Your Legal Name

    One University Drive, Box #

    Orange, CA 92866

If you live in the Davis Apartments:

    Your Legal Name

    625 North Grand, Apt #

    Orange, CA 92867

Student mailboxes are located across the residential community, in Morlan Hall, Henley Basement, Sandhu Basement and Davis Quad. Students will receive their mailbox assignment with their housing information in the summer. Please be aware that you will be sharing a box with at least one other student. Therefore residents should not remove any mail that is not addressed to them from their mailbox. Residents will not share a mailbox with their roommate.

If you did not receive a mailbox assignment, cannot remember it, or have lost your mailbox key, please contact us.

Student Packages
If you live in the residence halls or Harris Apartments, your packages will be held in either of our package rooms, located in the Davis Community Center (on the first floor) and Sandhu Residence Center (near the Doti Struppa Rockwall). You will receive an email from University Services notifying you that you have a package and which location you should pick it up from. It generally takes 12 hours from the point that it arrives to campus to be ready for pick up at our package rooms.

If you live in the Davis Apartments, your mail is processed directly by the U.S. Postal Service and your package will be delivered directly to your door
