Green Residence Hall’s suite-style living facility opened in the fall of 2004 and received the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce Keeper of the Plains Award in 2007. Two students are assigned to each bedroom, and rent is charged individually to each person living in the suite. The Green Residence Hall contract is for the academic year and closes during certain school breaks and for the summer (click here for Green Hall closures).

Peace of Mind
For your safety, all suites are equipped with a card-scanning system (in place of a traditional key-entry system). The building’s side doors remain locked at all times. The main door is unlocked from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Visitors are only admitted if accompanied by a resident, and the beautiful campus (including parking lots) is extremely well-lit.

Meal Plan
Students who choose to live in Green Residence Hall automatically receive a full meal plan each semester. This meal plan allows you to purchase meals in the Casado Dining Hall or items from Freddy's Snack Bar. The amount you spend in either location will be deducted from your account through your student ID. Please note that meal tickets do not roll over week to week and the declining cash balance does not roll over to the next semester.

Billing
Unlike the upperclass facilities, Green Residence Hall rent is charged individually, not per unit. Thus, each resident is responsible for a payment plan which lasts from the official move-in day in August through the official move-out day in May. Billing is set once at the beginning of the fall semester and once at the beginning fo the spring semester. A student may pay the bill with one payment or, for a small fee, may make monthly payments in the Student Account Services office.
