Laundry

Laundry rooms are located in each residence hall. The cost is $2.00 per cycle for washers and dryers.  

Laundry Tips

  • Read clothing tags for care of your items.
  • Use “HE” (high efficiency) liquid soap. Powdered soap is not recommended.
  • Avoid overloading the machine.
  • Please remove your laundry promptly after each wash and dry cycle, so that others may use the machines.
  • Double check your pockets. Items like ink pens and electronics do not do well in laundry equipment. Small items may clog drain and/or pump.
  • Do not dry shoes or oversized bedding in the dryers.

The Office of Residence Life is not responsible for damaged, stolen, or lost items in the laundry facilities.
