How do I make long-distance telephone calls?
Rockhurst does not provide long distance service. It is recommended students use their cell phones or purchase long distance calling cards.

What if I have a maintenance concern regarding my room or building?
Intranet electronic reporting (preferred method as you can check on the status of your work order at any time via computer) using a computer on main campus (computer labs, Rock Room, etc.)

E-mail TMA@rockhurst.edu. Include your name, your room number, your telephone number, and a detailed description of your work request.

Am I required to have a meal plan?

Students living in our three residence halls (McGee, X-L, Corcoran) are required to have a meal plan. Meal points will carry over from fall to spring semester. Students are required to purchase meal plans for both fall and spring semester. Unused meal points at the end of the spring semester will be forfeited.

How do I add additional money to my declining balance?

Students can go the cashier’s office in Massman Hall to add points to their cards at any time. Commuter students or students living in THV are also allowed to purchase meal points to use in all food areas on campus.


Am I permitted to have a car on campus?

Yes. All students are allowed to have their cars on campus. Please visit http://www.rockhurst.edu/services/security/ . All cars must be registered with Campus security. Directions and parking regulations can be found on the campus security website.

Can I stay on campus during holiday breaks?

Yes we do offer Break Housing for Spring Break only. For all students living in our residential halls there is a fee associated with staying during breaks. Students who know they are going to be needing housing over the breaks should stop by the Office of Residence Life.

What will my mailing address be?

Your name
Campus Box number-

You will receive your box number and mailbox combination when you arrive on campus. If you have any questions or problems with your mailbox, please contact the Office of Residence Life.

How do I forward my mail if I am not returning to campus?
Students not returning to campus at the end of the semester or academic year need to pick up a forwarding kit from the Mail Center.

What address should I use for deliveries?

Students will use their campus mailbox address for all mail. To receive packages, certified mail, FedEX packages or any other mail that requires signature students must present valid identification to the Mail Center.

How do I set up my voicemail?

Using your voicemail (VM) box for the first time:
As a new user you will need to set up your Voicemail (VM) box. This includes entering a security code, recording your name and personal greeting.
I’m in ______________ room #_____________ and my Phone Number Is:
My Voicemail (VM) Box Number Is:

  1. Call the voicemail system by dialing extension 4800, or 501-4800 if off campus.
  2. When the system answers, press [#].
  3. The system will prompt you to enter your mailbox number. If you live in a single room, your VM box number is the same as your phone number. If you live in a double occupancy room or in the THV units, check with your RD or RA for the VM boxes assigned to your phone number. Each student has his or her own personal VM box. You may share a phone number, but you do not share VM boxes.
  4. The system will prompt you to enter your security code. As a new user your security code is 2563. This is a temporary code to be used one time only.
  5. The system will prompt you to enter a new security code. Enter a 4-digit security code (not your phone number), then press [#].
    The system will then prompt you to enter your security code again to confirm it.
  6. The system will now prompt you to record your name. Listen to and follow the prompts to record your name. The system will play your name back to you and allow you to save or rerecord it.
    NOTE: Record only your name; this is not your personal greeting.
  7. The system will prompt you to record a personal greeting for your mailbox. Listen to and follow the prompts to record your greeting. See example below. The system will play your greeting back to you and allow you to save or rerecord it. Your mailbox is now setup.

Example:
The greeting on the primary phone number VM box should be as follows:
You have reached Mary and Susan. To leave a message for Mary, press 1.
To leave a message for Susan, press 2.

The greeting on your personal VM box can be similar to the following:
Hi, this is Mary. I can’t take your call right now. Please leave a message.
