Policy Provisions

1. Telecommunications

In this age of mobile communications, Cumberland University does not supply telephone services to its residence halls. Each hall is equipped with an emergency call box outside the main entrance to the hall or next to the laundry facility at the Commons Villages. Residents are encouraged to have a cell phone for their use and to supply that number to Residence Life for emergency contact only.

Each room has one coax cable jack with free basic cable. Students are responsible for their own televisions.
