General Questions

What do I do if I have not met the immunization requirements?

Answer: Every student entering a college or university in South Carolina is required to provide an immunization record prior to their enrollment. The Health History/Immunization form can be found on the Student Health Services website or students may provide an immunization record on a health care provider's stationary that has been signed and verified by a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner, or stamped by the health care facility and contain the month, day and year vaccine was given. For any further questions, please contact Student Health Services at 843-349-6543 or coastal.edu/health/immunization.

Where do I get mail?

Answer: Each resident is assigned a mailbox at the campus post office, located in Sands Hall. All residents may pick up UPS and FedEx mailings at the post office as well.

How do I become a Resident Adviser (RA)?

Answer: We are always looking for strong student leaders to be resources and role models for our residents. You can click on the Work for Us menu to get more information about the position and application process. Our big recruitment process is typically during fall semester for the upcoming academic year, but there are times when we need to fill open positions during the current semester. In addition, we have other student positions you can apply for and those too are listed on the Work for Us page.

Do I need renter’s insurance?

Answer: The University does not carry insurance that will cover losses you might incur from fire, theft, water or other casualty. We encourage you to consider a personal property insurance plan or renter’s insurance if you are not sufficiently covered under another insurance policy.

Is student health insurance available?

Answer: At no cost to students, the Student Accident Insurance Plan, through AIG Student Insurance, offers a $10,000 maximum yearly benefit for all full-time Coastal students.
