Public health guidelines for living in m housing
Below find the latest guidelines for residents. Check the U-M Health Response website for up to date campus-wide developments and details.
Vaccination Requirements
All U-M students residing in Michigan Housing are required to submit documentation in line with the University of Michigan Vaccination Policy. Once you have paid your enrollment deposit and have a U-M uniqname, you can submit your vaccination information here. We will act on your application after your immunization information has been verified.
Housing Security
We have a dedicated staff of security officers whose sole responsibility is to provide a safe and secure environment for all residents, staff and guests of our residence halls. Learn more about Housing Security.
Residential Staff
If you need to speak to someone in your residence hall about a concern or a non-life-threatening emergency, contact the residential staff member who is on call. They are trained to help you identify and take the necessary steps to work through your situation. Information about who is on call can be found at your community center.
Emergencies And Safety Concerns
The Division of Public Safety & Security works around the clock to ensure our community is safe. We encourage you to explore their website to learn more about their services and read their fire safety tips. Be sure to sign up for their text Emergency Alerts. You can also contact DPSS to report any unusual behavior or safety concerns.
Health and Wellness
If you are an enrolled student, and you are not feeling well, please contact University Health Service. In addition to being a full-service health care facility, they also have a nurse advice line, offer nutrition consultations and a host of other wellness services.
Being mindful of your own wellness and the community well being, learn more about the University’s Policy on Alcohol and Other Drugs.
Visit the Student Life Well-Being website for information about wellness classes, support organizations and tips on staying healthy.
Check out the Find Community page for ideas on meeting new friends, staying active, volunteering—and more!
If you are looking for opportunities to keep physically fit, you’ll find support at Michigan Recreation.
If you are feeling anxious, depressed, stressed out, or if you just need someone to talk to, please contact U-M Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).
Personal Property
We recommend that you register and insure all of your personal belongings. The university will not replace/compensate for lost or damage items within Michigan Housing.
First check if your belongings are covered by an existing homeowners policy. If not, consider purchasing an individual policy. One option is GradGuard™, a service provided by Next Generation Insurance Group, LLC. It’s a specific Renters Insurance Plan designed especially for students.
To register your bike, electronics, and other valuables visit the Division of Public Safety & Security.
In addition, we suggest that you mark all personal belongings, keep your doors locked and don’t leave valuables unattended when you are out and about.
