Guide to Living on Campus

See Something, Say Something

We prioritize the safety and well-being of every member of our community. If you notice any suspicious activity, safety concerns, or potential violations, it’s important to speak up. You can report concerns to your Resident Assistant (RA), Housing Coordinator, or any member of the Webber staff.

By taking action, you’re helping to create a safer, more secure campus environment for everyone. If the issue is immediate or urgent, don’t hesitate to reach out to Campus Security or dial 911 in emergencies.

As part of our commitment to campus safety, Webber complies with the Clery Act, which requires universities to report and disclose information about crime on and near campus. All incidents and safety concerns, including criminal offenses, must be reported for proper documentation and investigation.

Remember, when you See Something, Say Something—your voice plays a critical role in keeping our campus safe.

Applying for Housing

Securing your on-campus housing is simple, but it’s important to meet key deadlines and take necessary steps to ensure a smooth process.

  • Priority Housing Deadline for Returning Students: If you’re a returning student, monitor your Webber email for the housing application for the upcoming academic year. Housing applications are typically sent out starting in mid-February. Submit your application by April 1st for priority consideration. Returning students who apply before this date will have priority placement based on their preferences. If you request the same room you lived in previously and submit by the deadline, you’ll have priority for that room. Applications submitted after April 1st will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, as long as your housing deposit remains on file.

  • New Student Housing Applications: New students must submit both the housing application and a $150 non-refundable housing deposit before being assigned a room. The Housing Coordinator will make every effort to accommodate your housing preferences as indicated on your application. However, final assignments are subject to available space and dorm selection at the time of placement.

  • Waitlist Information: Due to high demand, a waitlist for housing typically begins in mid-June. We strongly encourage all students who plan to live on campus for the fall semester to complete their housing application and deposit as early as possible.

  • Financial Aid Consultation: Before submitting your housing application and non-refundable deposit, students should meet with the Financial Aid team to discuss housing costs and aid eligibility. Understanding your financial aid package is an important step in planning for your on-campus living experience.

Move-In Information

Moving on campus marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in your journey! Living on campus means you’re right in the heart of all the action—connecting with fellow students, making lifelong friends, and immersing yourself in everything Webber has to offer. As you prepare to move in and kick off your academic adventure, we’re here to ensure that the process is smooth, organized, and stress-free. Follow the steps below to make sure you’re all set for a fantastic start to your college experience!

All students must arrive on their assigned check-in day and time, as provided by their coach or admissions counselor. Students will not be permitted to check in on non-check-in days, so it is essential to plan accordingly.

Before arriving for check-in, all students must ensure they have completed the necessary steps with each department. Students who have not completed the requirements will not be allowed to move into their residence hall, attend classes, or participate in any campus activities. Here’s a breakdown of what needs to be completed:

  • Admissions: All final and official transcripts, enrollment agreement, student services agreement, housing application, physical form, immunization form and required deposits must be submitted and processed through the Admissions Office. Please verify that everything is finalized at least one week before check-in day.

  • Financial Aid: Students must complete all forms requested by the Financial Aid Office, including FAFSA and any additional documents. Be sure to confirm that your financial aid package is fully processed and in place.

  • Business Office: All outstanding balances must be resolved with the Business Office. Students are required to fulfill their financial obligations before check-in. Please note that financial clearance is necessary for move-in.

It is critical that all these steps are completed before arriving on campus. Students who are not fully cleared by each department will not be allowed to check in or move into their residence halls.

By ensuring everything is in order before check-in day, you’ll enjoy a smooth and stress-free move-in process.

After you’ve cleared all the necessary steps with Admissions, Financial Aid, Health Insurance/Medical Clearance, and the Business Office, it’s time for the exciting part—officially checking in! Head over to Student Services station, where you’ll complete the final steps of your move-in journey.

First, if you haven’t received your student ID yet, this is where you’ll pick it up—your key to accessing everything Webber has to offer! From there, you’ll meet with our friendly Student Services staff, who will guide you through the remaining steps:

  • Get Your Room Keys: You’ll finally have the keys to your new home on campus!
  • Go Over Dorm Rules: We’ll do a quick review of important residence hall rules to ensure everyone is on the same page for a great living experience.
  • WiFi Setup: We know staying connected is a priority, so we’ll give you the campus WiFi password to get your devices up and running.
  • Resident Assistant Information: You’ll also be introduced to your Resident Assistant (RA)—a key resource for support during your time in the residence halls.
  • Unloading Pass: To make move-in day a breeze, you’ll receive a 30-minute unloading zone pass. This allows you to unload your belongings right at the closest parking area to the residence halls, after which you’ll move your car to make space for the next family.
  • Parking Decal: Don’t forget to pick up your required parking decal or waive it if you won’t be bringing a car to campus.

As part of the check-in process, each student is required to complete and return the Housing Room Condition Form to the Student Services Office within 24 hours of moving into their assigned living space. This form is essential for documenting the current condition of your room and is used as the basis for determining any potential charges for damages, losses, or both, at the time of move-out.

It is critical that students thoroughly inspect their room and accurately note any existing issues or concerns on the form. Failure to complete and return the form within the required time frame will imply that there were no pre-existing issues, and the student will be held responsible for any damages or discrepancies found during the move-out inspection. By completing this form, you help ensure a clear and fair assessment of your living space.

Please note that all Webber-owned furniture in your residence hall room must remain in place. Removing any furniture without prior approval from the Housing Coordinator will result in fines. Be sure to keep everything where it belongs to avoid any penalties!

Need Something Fixed? We’ve Got You Covered!
If something’s missing or needs fixing in your room, don’t worry—we’re here to help! Be sure to note any issues on your Housing Room Condition Form and submit a work order to have it taken care of. Whether it’s a broken drawer or a light that needs replacing, our maintenance team will jump into action to get things back in shape. Let us know, and we’ll take care of the rest!

After you’ve settled in, be sure to attend the welcoming sessions scheduled for all new students. These sessions are your chance to meet fellow students, learn about key campus resources, and get a jumpstart on your Webber experience. You’ll receive all the details during your check-in process. We can’t wait to help you make Webber your home!

Immunization Policy

All students, full and part-time, born after 1956, are required to have appropriate immunization and immunization documents on file in the Health Services Office.

 Required Immunizations

According to the Florida State Health Department, the following immunizations are required prior to entering the school program:

  1. Tetanus – 5 doses required, the last of which should be within the past 10 years.
  2. Polio – 4 doses. This is omitted from the required immunizations for people 18 years or older.
  3. MMR – 2 doses required. Measles, Mumps, Rubella.
  4. TB – recommended but not required.
  5. Hepatitis B Vaccine – recommended but not required.
  6. Meningitis – recommended but not required.

 

Webber International University requires that all students have the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) immunization prior to registration and participation in classes. Students who do not provide official documentation of the MMR immunization will be required to have the MMR immunization at their own expense when they arrive on campus.

Exemptions from Requirements

  • Medical Exemption: If certain immunizations are contraindicated due to a medical condition, students may be exempt from immunization requirements. They must submit a signed statement of medical exemption from their primary care provider to their admissions counselor.
  • Religious Exemption: Webber International University recognizes that some individuals may hold sincere religious beliefs that are contrary to immunization requirements. Students seeking exemption from Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccinations required for enrollment must adhere to the following policy:
    • Exemption Process: To request exemption from the MMR vaccinations, students must submit a completed exemption form along with either a letter from their church or a personal statement detailing their religious tenets that oppose immunization. This form can be obtained from the university’s health services or administration office.
    • Certification: By signing the exemption form, the student certifies that immunizations conflict with their religious practices and beliefs.
    • Acknowledgement of Risks: Students acknowledge the risks associated with not being immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases and understand that during a disease outbreak on campus, they may be excluded from attending classes or university activities for up to 21 days after the last case is detected.
    • Responsibility: Students exempted from immunizations are solely responsible for any costs associated with their exclusion from classes or university activities due to a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak.
    • Exemption Scope: This exemption applies to general enrollment and campus housing. Nursing students and other health science majors must follow additional guidelines and may require alternative forms as specified by their department.
    • Impact on Academic Standing: Students exempted from immunizations understand that any impact on their grades or attendance records resulting from a vaccine-preventable incident may render them ineligible for medical course drops or withdrawals.
      For more information or to obtain an exemption form, please contact the Student Housing Office.

Webber International University highly recommends that students with immunization exemptions submit results of titers (blood tests to determine immunity) for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella. Students who do not do so, or whose results do not show that they have immunity, may be temporarily excluded from classes, residence halls, and any sponsored activities on campus in the event of a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak or threatened outbreak.
