Life at Wingate

There are six buildings primarily designated for first-year students, with a few wonderful themed-living communities. All first-year residence halls are coed to varying degrees: by floor, wing or alternating room. Students can indicate their preference on the housing questionnaire.

If you have any questions regarding on-campus living at Wingate University after reading the following information, please contact the Office of Residence Life and Involvement at res.life@wingate.edu or 704-233-8663.

If you hear a disturbance, first talk to those who are causing it. If the noise continues, go to your RA or CA and let them know about the problem or call Campus Safety at 704-233-8999.

If students have identified an empty room they would like to move into and the roommate(s) agree with the move, the students with the space must notify the Office of Residence Life to begin the process for moving. If students do not know of a space to move into, they can contact the Office of Residence Life to talk about the availability of spaces to move into.

Yes, you can loft or bunk your bed. If you choose to loft your bed, please be aware there’s a two-part approval process. You must receive permission from the residence director before lofting.

The Office of Residence Life will also follow up to ensure that the loft is constructed in a responsible and structurally sound way. Students who do not construct satisfactory lofts are required to dismantle them. We will not remove any furniture from the room or apartment. We do not offer University-owned lofting kits to students, though students are permitted to build or buy their own. Students are responsible for all furniture associated with a loft, such as ladders and stools.

We do provide bunking materials for students. Students need to come by the Office of Residence Life to obtain bunking pins for beds.

Alumni, Cannon, CM Black and JM Smith have carpeted rooms.

Refrigerators and microwaves are allowed in residence halls. Apartments have an oven, refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. Please do not bring any items with an open flame or burner coils.

Each residential building is equipped with a free laundry. All you need to provide is laundry supplies.

The measurements for the residence hall rooms and the apartments can be found on the undergraduate residence halls page. There is some variation between room measurements within a single building.

There are co-ed buildings with men on one floor and women on another or in apartments next to each other. However, students of opposite sexes may not room together in the same apartment or residence hall room.

For buildings with a traditional residence hall layout, access to floors is provided by ID cards unique to each individual.

Each room and apartment is equipped with individual AC and heating units to be controlled by the residents.

You can bring your own bedding, but you’re not allowed to remove any University-provided furniture from the room.

There is wireless Internet access available throughout campus, including the lobbies of residence halls, rooms and apartments, academic buildings, the Dickson-Palmer Center and the library.

Residential students should buy an Ethernet cable to use while in the residence halls and apartments. Personal wireless routers are prohibited, since they disrupt the wireless signals for all students in each building. Also, wireless printers need to have the wireless setting deactivated, since they also interfere with the wireless signal for other students.

Housekeeping cares for the community-style bathrooms and the common spaces in the first-year residential areas. Housekeeping is not responsible for cleaning the residents’ rooms or apartments.

CAs, RAs and RDs go through apartments, halls and rooms to check for safety violations monthly. CAs, RAs and RDs do not go through residents’ belongings; they simply check the surface of what’s in plain sight for safety hazards, cleanliness and violations. Students are not informed when checks are performed.

Yes, all twin beds are XL.

Community bathrooms including showers and toilets are located in the freshman residence halls. Bathrooms shared between two to three people are found in upperclassman areas.

Students should not remove University furniture from any room or apartment. If something is damaged or defective, please notify the Office of Residence Life. Students who bring their own furniture should not expect the University to remove any furniture they have rendered “additional” by bringing their own.
