you mentioned the heat, wondering if there's ac in the dorm rooms :)

My son is opting to stay home and take classes for the fall but would like to dorm in the spring if (fingers crossed) there are more in person classes. Will he lose out on dorming if he isn't there in the fall?

my daughter is doing to the same

my daughter is doing the same

if a student changes their mind for living on campus for the fall term, what date does the school need to be notified by

If my daughters classes are all remote what fees are waived

can parents help their student on move in day?

can we request a move in date. we have a wedding in that time frame.

My son completed his housing application. Should he have heard anything yet about his room assigment?

What do you mean when you say students are on there own if they move in before Sept 1? Does that mean no scheduled activities? Is the dining hall open?

You mentioned there are many classes that will be online only - do we know which classes these are?

Brendan Connaughton- We have just started assigning students. We have not notified anyone of those assignments yet.

Kathie,

If you opt out of housing, are you automatically opted out of meal plan or is there something else you have to do to opt out of meal plan?

Will there still be an honors floor? My daughter is in the honor program and requested that.

Kathie- you can find the classes that are offered face-to-face on the www.framingham.edu COVID-19 update page under Fall Semester ribbon. If the course is not on the list, it will be held remotely or totally online.

So if my son requested a roommate and answered yes to the survey will he be placed in the suite with the roommate and 2 other students?

if a student decides to commute for fall, does that decrease their odds of getting a room for Spring in the event things improve?

David Urso- there will be some activities during the Black and Gold Beginnings program which will take place during that time frame. There will be a mix of virtual and some face-to-face sessions.

Angela Boyer- Dr. Cochran will answer this when he is done with his presentation.

what activities are happening during the weekend? social activities.

will there be clubs?

When do the dining halls open?

Bob Conceison- Multiple offices are looking into scheduling a mix of virtual activities (these will be the majority) and face-to-face meetings. We are already speaking with clubs on how to make things virtual and to work through so many students not being on campus.

if you selected a dining plan assuming visitors, can we still change that one?

Jack and Kate and Caroline- Yes, you certainly can change the meal plan. You would do that with Student Accounts- studentaccounts@framingham.edu

If students opt to stay home in the fall and take classes as commuter can they get a dorm in the spring?

if all classes are remote is the student considered a commuter even though she’s not coming on campus?

Steve Gruber- I will ask this of Dr. Cochran when he is done with his presentation

Bob Conceison- If the student is not living on campus, they are considered a commuter.

Can students bring their own microwave

Are microfridge rentals still going to be available? We haven't received any info on reserving one yet.

but all classes are only offered on line. she will not be on campus

no commuting involved

Will FSU have hand sanitizing stations?

If all classes are online, should they still get a parking pass in case they need to go on campus for anything.

Mary Ann- I would recommend getting the parking pass. There is a cost associated, but if the student needs to come, it will make life so much easier.

Any idea if athletes are housed together?

how will commuters get their school id?

can Freshman purchase a parking pass if they plan to live on campus?

Jack and Kate and Caroline- Only if they ask to live together. It is not something that is organized to have teams live together other than by the students requests or selections.

Kathie- Yes students can purchase a parking pass if they are not residents.

thank you!

how do we lease a microfridge?

site says not accepting applications to rent microfridges any longer.

why would a student live on campus if there are no activities, no athletics and all classes remote?

Going off the athlete question if my son requested a roommate (another athlete) and now will be housed in the Suite will the other roommates be athletes? I am assuming that they would have been paired in a double (traditional hall) but will now be in the Suites?

can first year students living on campus have their cars there?

Housing was added to my bill today. Does that mean Im assigned??

will dining halls be open 8/27-9/1

What are the limitations with students living inside the building visiting other students rooms?

When are ebill payments due ?

What is the visiting policy?

Can we have a friend from home visit?

Will residence halls close for the semester at thanksgiving break (as I've heard that was the plan)? If so, is that reflected on our bills or will we get a refund?

will the gym be open in the fall

500

Yes $500, just paid it today

I just paid my freshmans daughter

should mail in voting be sent to campus for the upcoming elections

how will visitors be monitored? none on campus..

will there be areas for commuters to take their own line cases in the case of when they have back to back classes and one is in person?

if your student is living on campus, will they be able to go home and back if they choose to say a weekend to go home?

Are there other options for parking other than a pass? For example if visiting campus might be only a handful of times.

Could you help clairy, can I visit my son during the semester?

Are shuttle buses running to full capacity?

What if a resident student is planning to work off campus. Will that be an issue for them coming back to campus after work shift?

^^ Are shuttles operating still?

I thank you for all that you are doing to inform us.

can you speak to the percentage of freshman attending in the fall as to who's going to room vs commuting?
