| Where do I pick up my mail? |
Students will be sent an email notification from ResMail to their Lakehead University email accounts when they have mail to pick up. Please proceed to Residence Front Desk along with your Lakehead University student ID card to claim your package or parcel. Please Note: It is possible that the delivery of your package to the Front Desk may take between 1 to 2 days. We kindly request that you wait for a period of 24 hours for the Front Desk to send you an email before you make any inquiries about the status of your package. |
| What do I do if I'm locked out of my residence? |
If you are locked out after Front Desk has closed, please call Security Services (807) 343-8569 and ask them to page the Resident Assistant on duty to let you into your room. |
| I've lost my key what do I do? |
Each resident will receive their own set of keys upon check-in for their accommodation. Please note that the duplication of keys is not permitted. For security reasons, any lost keys must be reported immediately to the Residence Front Desk. You will be issued a temporary set of keys. If you do not find your keys after one week (or if you feel that someone may have stolen your keys), your lock will be changed. |
| Where do I check out recreation equipment? |
Residence students may sign out the use of the Residence tennis courts, basketball court, ice rink, or Bartley Kitchenette at the Front Desk. No cost, just bring your student ID card. Some sports equipment is available for use - see Front Desk for details. Sign-out requests that have been pre-booked through Conference Services by a group will take precedence over individual drop-in sign-out requests. |
| Who Cleans My Room and Living Space? |
Housekeeping services are not provided in student rooms, townhouses, and apartment units. Residents are responsible for keeping their own rooms, apartments, and townhouses clean in accordance with the Residence Cleanliness Standard. Each Residence House, apartment unit, and townhouse unit come equipped with a vacuum for student use. If something is in need of repair, please submit an online work order. |
| Can I extend my stay in campus? |
Absolutely! Follow the steps listed on this page to learn how to extend your stay. |
