Students living in the residence halls may bring and park their cars on campus. For residents living at University Place, a University Place parking permit is required. Residential parking permits may be purchased from the Department of Public Safety on campus by registering the vehicle and furnishing the proper information. The University assumes no responsibility for damages to any vehicle or its contents for reason of fire, theft, vandalism, or other cause.

It is important that you familiarize yourself with the parking rules and regulations. Residents have restricted areas for parking. You may receive a copy of the rules and regulations from the Department of Public Safety.

Dining

There are two locations on campus which provide residential student dining, The Commons and The CINO Grille. The Commons is located between Waccamaw and Santee halls and serves an all-you-can-eat cafeteria-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The CINO Grille is located in the Student Center and has a variety of dining options including pizza, deli sandwiches, frozen yogurt, coffee and pastries, and more. Hours vary by program so check with your program coordinator.

Convenience stores (C-Store) are located in Waccamaw Hall and University Place 1095. Although small in size, they offer a variety of groceries and other items for your convenience.

Health Services

The Coastal Carolina University Office of Student Health Services provides primary health care for all students residing in the university residence halls, and is optional for students living off campus. Health Services are available on campus Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Emergency care is available at Conway Hospital, which is located less than two miles from campus. Non-residence hall student health insurance is available on a voluntary basis. If you have any questions regarding student health services or student health insurance, contact the Office of Student Health Services at (843) 347-7466.

Laundry

Facilities are located on the first floor of Waccamaw and Santee residence halls and the second floor of Azalea and Magnolia residence halls. Each apartment at University Place is equipped with a washer and dryer. All students are urged to be mindful of energy consumption. We recommend using warm or cold water rather than hot for most laundry loads. To view machine availability please visit http://www.laundryview.com

Facilities Management

The University employs staff to address any building or landscaping services within the residence halls. We also provide emergency services during non-business hours. Periodic maintenance inspections of individual rooms and apartments are conducted throughout the academic year to identify any potential fire or health risks and to check for maintenance concerns which may have gone undetected or unreported. Charges will be levied for violations of rules and repair beyond normal wear and tear. These charges will be added to the occupants' bill. Residents are notified in advance as to the date(s) of inspections.

We encourage awareness of energy consumption and conservation. The following simple actions will reduce energy consumption: using computer power management software and turning off computers when not in use; turning off lights and other appliances when last to leave a room; closing windows when the heat or coolant is on.

Bicycles may be stored in the appropriate designated areas. In no case may a bicycle obstruct a corridor, stairway, or path of emergency exit. Motorcycles, scooters or any other motorized transportation is not allowed in any building.

Public Safety

Coastal Carolina University has a Department of Public Safety which maintains community peace, safety, and quality of life. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They also work with the local Police and Fire authorities. We have emergency call boxes located throughout the campus and all residence halls have surveillance cameras for additional security. At University Place each bedroom has an emergency call button, once pushed the Department of Public Safety is notified and they respond immediately to the request.

Some core functions of the Department include patrolling the campus; checking on the well-being of students, faculty, and staff; responding to disturbances; taking reports of lost and stolen property; investigating suspicious activity; responding to alarms; enforcing parking regulations; investigating trespassers or unwanted guests; and initiating informal contact with students, faculty, and staff while patrolling.
