Am I required to live on-campus?
All students are required to live on-campus unless
they meet one of the following requirements:
- You are married
- You are a single parent with dependents
- You are a veteran of the U.S. military service
- You are 23 years of age or older
- You have completed 90 or more credit hours (if you are a transfer
student, at least 90 hours must be accepted by
Schreiner) or have already lived on campus at
another university for at least three years
- You will be enrolled in a 12 month program leading to certification or
license (Vocational Nursing or Master’s programs)
- You will be a part-time student (11 or fewer credits per semester each
semester—if you become a full-time student you will
have to move on campus)
You are living with your parent(s) or legal guardian
in one of the following counties: Kerr, Gillespie,
Kendall, Edwards, Bandera, Real or Kimble
Am I required to have a meal plan?
All students living on campus are required to have a
meal plan. Your class standing (number of credit
hours earned) will determine the meal plan you are
required to have. Please see the link to Room &
Board Rates for more information regarding required
meal plans.
What's the difference between the Housing Deposit
and the Commitment Fee?
Upon enrollment, your student account will be
charged a $100 housing damage deposit if you are
living on campus. This is separate from the
commitment fee you pay upon acceptance of your
invitation to attend Schreiner. The housing deposit
is a one-time fee. If there are no damages or fines
when you leave housing (after your earn 90+ hours or
meet the other off-campus living requirements) your
deposit will be refunded. The commitment fee will be
paid directly to the Office of Admissions and will
determine the order in which your housing assignment
will be made (i.e. earlier commitment fees get
placed in requested rooms first).
When will I get my housing assignment?
Housing assignments for the 2008-2009 academic
year will given to incoming students at Mountaineer
Days.

Who is required to have Medical Health Insurance?
All residential and international students are
required to have proof of medical health insurance.
Residents must submit either an online waiver or
enrollment application at the following site:
www.collegeinsurance.com Residents that fail to
submit the online form will automatically be billed
for Schreiner University’s student health insurance.
For questions regarding health insurance, please go
to the Schreiner University Health Center webpage:

What about Student Personal Property Insurance?
We recommend that all students have Student Personal
Property Insurance. Students may be covered under
their parents' homeowner's insurance policy.
However, if you would like additional information on
student insurance policies, please visit

Can I request a roommate? Are single rooms
available?
You are welcome to request a roommate, and as long
as that person also requests you as a roommate, the
match will be made. In case you meet someone during
Mountaineer Days who you would like to live with,
your Peer Advisor will have a form for both of you
to complete to make the request. If two people
request each other as roommates, the later of the
two commitment fee dates will be used to determine
where you will be living. Due to the increase in
students living on campus, it is very
unlikely that singles will be available.
Where will I live and what kind of rooms does
that hall have?
Freshmen are assigned to Trull, Delaney, Flato and
L.A. Schreiner. Where you are placed is determined
by several factors: the date you submit your
commitment fee to the University, whether or not you
request a roommate and/or residence hall. Transfer
students and upperclassmen are assigned to the Pecan
Grove and The Oaks apartments.
Trull is coed with women living in the south
wing of the building and men living in the east
wing. The building has interior hallways, and all
rooms (10'4" x 19') are suite-style, which means
two double occupancy rooms share a bathroom.
Students are expected to share cleaning
responsibilities with their roommate and suitemates.
Custodial services are provided in the common areas
(living room, TV room, guest bathrooms).
Delaney is a traditional
coed residence hall with
interior hallways. Men live on the first floor and
women live on the second floor. Every room (14' x
12') has a sink and vanity; residents share central
bathrooms on each floor. Daily custodial services
are provided for bathrooms, hallways, and living
rooms.
Flato and L.A. Schreiner have suite-style
rooms (11'5" x 14') and exterior entries. Each suite
shares a front door and bathroom. The bedrooms lead
off from a front foyer (9'4" x 7'8"). Students are
expected to share cleaning responsibilities with
their roommate and suitemates. The lobby is cleaned
by the custodial staff.
Pecan Grove is an on-campus apartment complex. Students who have completed 30 or more
credits, who will be second year freshmen, or who
are at least 21 years of age by move-in day are
eligible to live in Pecan Grove. There are 87 2-bedroom units (610 sq
ft) that have a semi-private arrangement (i.e.
private bedroom and bathroom, shared kitchen and
common living areas). In addition, Pecan Grove has 4
4-bedroom units (873 sq ft) with a communal
arrangement (i.e. private bedroom, share 2
bathrooms, kitchen and common living area), and 8
efficiency units (495 sq ft). All units are
single-sex.
The Oaks apartment complex is also open to
upperclassmen and transfer students. There are
26 4-bedroom units (1129 sq ft) with a communal
arrangement (i.e. private bedroom, share 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and
a common living area).
What amenities are provided with my room?
All rooms have hookups for local telephone and cable
television service. Rooms are equipped with desks,
extra long twin beds, dressers, chairs and closets.
All rooms are furnished as doubles, even if used as
a single. Extra furniture must remain in the room
and may not be stored elsewhere. The apartments also
have a fully-equipped kitchen with a garbage
disposal, dishwasher, stove, oven and full-size
refrigerator. You should bring your own sheets,
pillows, pillowcases, towels, blankets, lamps, and
other small furnishings. All residence halls are
air-conditioned. Laundry facilities on campus are
available for residents, so bring plenty of
quarters.
Is there access to the Internet from the
Residence Halls?
All residence halls have wireless access to the
Internet. You can obtain a wireless card from or get
your laptop connected by the
Tech Team. The office is in Weir 007, please ask for
Searle.
Who can I go to when I have questions or need
help?
The Residence Life staff is here for YOU! The
Resident Assistants (RAs), Senior Resident
Assistants (SRAs)
and Resident Directors (RDs) are staff members who
live in the buildings to facilitate positive
community and to serve as campus resources for you.
They can help with issues ranging from homesickness,
roommate conflicts, and where to get more quarters
for laundry to questions about where to go for
tutoring, the process for dropping a class, and what
activities are going on around campus. They also
help maintain reasonable conduct in the halls as
well as sponsoring programs and activities that
broaden your out-of-class experience. The Residence
Life staff is a great group of people, and it's to
your advantage to get to know them! For more
