Do you have any rules about smoking?

Campus Village is a non-smoking facility, including the outside courtyards. You can smoke on the perimeter of the building but it's not permitted within the gated facility.
Back Up Top

Is alcohol allowed on the property?

If you're 21 or older, you may consume alcohol in your apartment but not in common areas. No one under 21 may consume alcohol on the premises.
In addition to creating a fun enviornment, the Campus Village staff living on-site are there to enforce rules and create a safe environment. We expect all residents to obey the law, and if there are violations, leases may be terminated and the violations may be reported to the university or college.
Back Up Top

What if my roommate leaves partway through the year? Will I be responsible for his/her share of the rent?

Individual leases protect residents from situations like this. You are in no way responsible for the lease your roommate(s) signed. If your roommate is unable to complete his or her lease term, you will not be affected.
Back Up Top

If my roommate leaves partway through the year, will you fill that space or can I bring in a friend?

If you have someone lined up to live with you, that's fine. If we have a waiting list of students for the facility, we'll assign someone to live with you.
Back Up Top

Are there curfews?

There are no curfews at Campus Village.
Back Up Top

What if I don't like my roomate? Can I switch?

When you sign up for Campus Village, we will ask you to complete a questionnaire on lifestyles, study habits and interests. We will use that information to match up students, trying to ensure that you are placed with someone who will be compatable with you. Of course, we recognize that won't always work. When it doesn't, we'll do our best to accommodate requests for roommate reassignments, but we can't promise we'll always be able to do so. And, there will be a $200 fee for transferring.

May I paint my room?

No. See lease agreement.
Back Up Top

May I put up my own curtains or blinds?

All units are furnished with mini-blinds that must remain in place. Curtains can be added with tension rods only.
Back Up Top

Can I store my bike in my room?

Yes, but you can't mount a storage rack on the celiling. We'll also have bike storage on-site, both inside and outside.
Back Up Top

What about the two-bedroom units: Are there enough connections for all four people to hook up their computers, or do we need to share?

Each unit has enough Internet lines for every person who will be living there.
Back Up Top

What if I won't start classes until second semester, can I get a unit then?

Please contact the leasing office for apartment unit availablility.
Back Up Top

What if I leave for a semester to study abroad? Can I keep my unit?

You'd have to find somebody to take over your lease during that time.
Back Up Top

Can I build a loft for my bed, or have a waterbed?

No waterbeds are allowed, and residents may not build loft units for their beds. See lease agreement for specifics.
Back Up Top

If I rent a unit now, can I sublease it until I start classes?

We don't allow subleases. However, if you can find somebody to take over your lease, that's fine. Generally, leases will begin August 11 and end either 10 or 12 months after that. Some units may open up if students leave at the end of the semester, but we don't expect many of those.
Back Up Top

I still haven't decided where I'm going to attend school. If I sign a contract now and then decide to go to a different school, can I get out of it?

Signing up to live at Campus Village is different from signing up for a dorm on another campus, because here you're actually signing a lease. And once you sign a lease, it's really hard to break - you could be liable for a big chunk of rent. If you don't go as far as signing the lease but only fill out the application, we can refund the $100 service fee you pay at that time.
Back Up Top

What if I'm over 21? Would I still need a co-signer?

We'll look at theat on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, older students with a credit history can pay a deposit rather than getting a co-signer on their lease.
Back Up Top

Do I get a discount if I pay the entire year up front?

No, the monthly rent is the same whether you pay each month or in one lump sum.
Back Up Top

Do my parents have to co-sign my lease?

Every student at Campus Village must get a co-signer or "guarantor" for their lease, unless you pay the entire year up front.
Back Up Top

What happens if I'm late with the rent?

We urge students to do everything in their power to avoid being late with the rent, because you can lose your apartment quickly. That's why it's a good idea to pay your rent with a credit card - we'll charge your card automatically on the first of the month, and you don't have to worry about paying late fees. Late fees kick in on the fourth business day after the first of the month, and you'll get another notice. If we haven't paid by the end of the month, you'll be subject to eviction and Campus Village will take you to court to recover the rent you owe.
Back Up Top

Do you allow pets?

No, pets are not allowed at Campus Village.
Back Up Top

Can I use my financial aid to help pay my rent?

Most loans that would cover on-campus housing should cover Campus Village. To find out for sure, you should review your loan requirements with the financial aid office.
Back Up Top

Will you send me a bill each month for rent?

We don't send out bills - it's your responsibility to remember to pay your rent on the first of the month, just as you'd do at any apartment. You also have the option of having Campus Village automatically charge your credit card at the beginning of each month.
Back Up Top

What is the deadline for applying for a lease?

There is no deadline for submitting applications. However, contracts are signed on a first-come, first-serve basis, so it is better to send in a contract sooner rather than later.
Back Up Top

Are your units handicap-accessible?

11 of the units at Campus Village are specially designed to fit the needs of disabled students. All the other units are handicap-adaptable.
Back Up Top

How do your rents compare to the Regency and the Inn at Auraria?

Our rents are comparable with those facilities. But the advantage of Campus Village is that it's right next to the campus. You don't have to hop a shuttle bus or drive or take a long walk to get to class.
Back Up Top

Won't there be a lot of noise from the highway and the train tracks?

We have used insulation, upgraded windows and acoustical treatments to muffle traffic noise. We encourage you to tour the building; we think you will be suprised by how quiet the units are!
Back Up Top

Will the building be closed during semester breaks, spring break or summer vacation?

Campus VIllage is open year-round to residents - depending of course, on the timeframe of your lease agreement. The cafe and convenience store will also be open year-round.
Back Up Top

I'm married. Can my spouse and I share a studio unit?

Campus Village is geared more toward singles; it's not set up as married student or couples housing. The rule is, "One head per bed" - so a married couple could not rent a studio at Campus Village. You can, however, rent a two-bedroom unit.
Back Up Top

Will Campus Village check my enrollment status at Auraria Campus?

Yes, Campus Village will check the enrollment status of all students wishing to renew and sign a new lease agreement.
Back Up Top

What if I rent a unit there and then drop out or transfer? Would I have to leave?

Your lease is your lease, and we would honor that even if you were not at Auraria any longer. However, Campus Village would not be able to renew your lease if you were no longer a student enrolled at any one of the three colleges/institutions at Auraria Campus. Campus Village is designed to provide housing for students at Auraria.
Back Up Top

Are there single sex floors or wings?

No, all the floors are co-ed.
Back Up Top

Can I reserve a specific apartment?

You can request a specific unit, but we can't guarantee its availability. Units are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We have to account for a number of factors when assigning units. Of course, signing a contract early makes it easier to for us you the unit you want.
Back Up Top

Is co-ed housing allowed?

Men and women can live together in the suites, but all parties must come in together - Campus Village will not assign people of opposite sexes into one unit.
Back Up Top

What is the residency requirement for UCDHSC?

Please contact the University for specifics (303) 556-3399
Back Up Top

Can I live at Campus Village if I am only taking one class?

Yes, there is no minimum requirement of credit hours to live at Campus Village.
Back Up Top

Can anyone live at Campus Village?

Any student, staff or faculty member from any of the three schools-UCDHSC, Metro or CCD - may live at Campus Village. In order to live at Campus Village, you must be affiliated with the Auraria Campus as Campus Village is not open to the public. First-year students and incoming international students at UCDHSC are required to live at Campus Village.
Back Up Top

About how many of the students living there will be freshman?

About half of the units are designed for freshman.
Back Up Top

How big is Campus Village? How many people will live there?

We will have 685 people, including students and on-site management staff.
Back Up Top

Do I get reserved parking space?

You're guaranteed a space, but you won't have a specific reserved parking space.
Back Up Top

Do I have to have a meal plan?

We don't have a "meal plan" per say, but all residents of Campus Village are required to have a dining fee account. You can then use that at the on-site cafe, the convenience store or in the vending machines, and you can use it for both food and household items - so it's really convenient. The fee varies depending on the type of unit you're in. If you're in one of the two-bedroom/two-bathroom suites, you must deposit a minimum of $275 into your account each month. Those are our "freshman" units, and we want to encourage first-year students to eat their meals in the on-site cafe - just as you would at a dorm. If you live in any of the other types of units, you have the option to deposit at least $75 each month. Any unused money in your account can be carried over from month to month as long as you live here, but you cannot transfer it to anyone else and we can't refund unused money from your account at the end of your lease.

What kind of security arrangements do you have?

We've done our best to create a safe and secure environment at Campus Village. The grounds are protected by key-card access, as is the building. The front desk is manned 24 hours a day. There are emergency phones in each parking lot and at the gates into the courtyard. On-Site staff will do rounds of the property, and they'll be equipped with cell phones to call for assistance if necessary. All the outside doors will be alarmed if they are propped open, the alarm will sound.

We don't have a clinic on-site, but there is a health facility located in the Plaza at the Auraria Campus. All on-site staff members are trained in CPR and First Aid.
