Housing:
Puyallup has a small (4 room) student dormitory house from which rooms may be rented at a nominal cost. However, the house does not allow children or pets. There is also a 1-bedroom guest cottage, where married students and children are allowed. All housing is on a first come first serve basis. Other housing (such as room, apartment, and house rentals) is available in Puyallup. Contact your major advisor for help in finding housing.
Offices and Desks:
Office and desk space is limited so you may either be in a graduate student office or have desk space in a lab. Your major advisor will request space for you from the Space Committee Chair.
Keys:
To obtain keys for Kalkus Hall, your office, labs, greenhouses, etc., see Marc Anderson. Security is the responsibility of everyone, so please assume responsibility for locking your office and lab doors after regular hours. For weekend and “after hours” use of Kalkus Hall, please make certain that the doors have fully closed and are securely locked after you use them. Training in operation of security system is required in order to gain after hours access.
Staff Assistance:
Limited staff assistance is available; consult with your advisor for specifics.
Copy Machine Use:
The copy machine is in the mailroom. Your advisor will have a copy code. Graduate students may not use the copy machine to copy any personal material such as classroom notes, term papers, books, theses, etc. When in doubt, consult your advisor.
Research Supplies:
Determination of appropriate purchase will be made between the student and advisor.
