- Use an independent cost comparison tool to compare on campus costs with off campus costs. Go to http://www.daveramsey.com/foundationsu/tools/. When it asks for room and board per year, either enter $8,412.00 for a double room with a Gold meal plan (most typical choice) or $9,612.00 for a single room with a Gold meal. If you wish to have a different room type or meal plan, you can find those costs on the Costs and Contracts page.
- Personal Property Insurance
Much like off-campus renter's insurance, this inexpensive policy gives you peace of mind should any personal belongings become lost or stolen while living on campus. Fidelity Associates Insurance is a provider for several universities in the Northwest. - Understanding FERPA and Privacy Laws
How can parents and guardians get information about their student and their EWU account? - Health, Wellness and Prevention Services (HWPS)
We recommend visiting this site. Particularly, we suggest that you review the Immunization Information and the Meningococcal Disease links. - Campus Safety
Please take a moment with your student to go to the Campus Safety page and make yourself familiar with the information on it. The Emergency Response Procedures are especially useful in a practical scenario.- Want to be notified via text message or email should there be a campus emergency? Sign up today at EWU Alerts!

Since 1999, the Residence Hall Association has provided a convenient, affordable way to ensure you have sheets that will fit the extra-long mattresses in our residence halls. The Residence Hall Linens program has all your campus living needs, from extra long twin sheets and comforters to matching towels and storage items. Free shipping is available on all Value Pak orders, and there are over 40 color combinations to choose from. Proceeds from this program go to the RHA and are used for programming in the residence halls at Eastern Washington University. Please visit the RHL website www.rhl.org/ewu
