Community Center Services

Welcome to the Community Center – the focal point of information and activity that draws residents together to create more dynamic communities.

The Community Center in each residence hall provides many services (see below), and it will become more of a  community hub for student-driven activities.

Community-building programs that may have been held only on a corridor will be held at the Community Center, bringing together students from all areas of the building. Students will have a chance to become acquainted with other residents they live with in the same building.  And throughout the year, Centers will host informational sessions about various topics on residential life.

All subscriptions must be paid in advance and do not include delivery over Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break and Spring Break. Newspapers available for daily, Monday-Saturday, Monday-Friday, or Sunday only distribution (may vary depending on publication schedule of specific paper) include: Detroit Free Press, Detroit News, New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, and the Financial Times. For specific information and rates, contact the Washtenaw News Company, (734) 668-8700, 8 am - 3 pm, Monday - Friday.

Residence Hall Mail Services
Resident mailboxes are operated under general guidelines provided by the U.S. Postal Service. Only addressed mail sent through the Postal Service is required to be placed in resident mailboxes.

When you move out of on-campus housing, it is important to submit your new campus address directly to the Office of the Registrar via Wolverine Access. You'll also want to change your mailing address on any newspaper and periodical subscriptions, and other business and personal contacts. Your residence hall will forward only first class mail for 30 days beyond your checkout date. You should complete a forwarding address card at your hall's Community Center if you move to another room in a residence hall, check out at the end of the year, or move off campus.
