Laundry
Each community has centrally located laundry facilities. Washers cost $1.25 per load and dryers cost $1.25 for 45 minutes of drying time. Laundry is expected to be removed from washers or dryers upon the completion of a cycle.
All laundry not removed after 72 hours will be bagged, tagged, and subject to abandoned property fees. Report any problems you encounter with the machines to Housing Office on the St. Petersburg campus or through the Work Order System on the Tampa campus.
Lost or Stolen Keys
In the interest of your personal safety, it is the policy of Housing & Residential Education to re-core student rooms and/ or apartments/suites at the student’s expense if the key is determined lost. If you lose your key report, it immediately, (Tampa: Holly M, Juniper-Poplar, or The Hub / St. Petersburg: main Housing Office). A temporary key will be issued, and students are given until 9am the following business day to return the temporary key before a charge and re-coring is initiated. Re-coring and key replacement charges are not due up-front; they will be posted to your OASIS account.
These policies also apply to temporary access cards that are issued for the outside doors. If you are issued a temporary access card, it must be returned to Housing within 72 hours.
If you believe your keys have been stolen, contact the University Police at 813-974–2628 for Tampa or (727) 873-4444 for St. Petersburg to fill out a police report. You are responsible for the cost of re-coring your room and/or apartment/ suite unit even if your keys have been stolen.
Mail
