All students are issued an account within CIU’s online community .
Due to the important nature of much of the information sent by CIU offices to
students via the student’s @ email account, students are expected
to check their account regularly. Students are responsible for information posted
at or sent to their CIU email accounts. Technical assistance (opening
an account, logging in, forwarding emails to a preferred email address, etc.) is
available online or at 807-5199.
Please check your account often; you
can even forward it to a preferred email account.
Residency Requirements
All single undergraduate students under 23 are required to live on campus.
Undergraduate students living with family within commuting distance (50 miles)
must live on campus their first two semesters at CIU. Students may move off
campus if they will turn 23 during a semester. Those under 23 who are found to
have moved off campus without permission will be charged one half of the Room
and Board charge and will not be able to register for classes the next semester
without discussing housing arrangements with the Residence Life Office. For
additional information regarding housing requirements and appeals in exceptional
circumstances, contact the Residence Life Office (807-5485 or ext. 5485).
Rollerblading, Skateboarding, Scooters
Those rollerblading, skateboarding, or riding scooters on campus should be
careful and courteous at all times. These are prohibited on the boulevard and the
road behind the student center. No stunt skating, stair jumping, or skating inside
buildings is allowed at any time.
Selling & Charitable Collections
No one is to act as an agent or salesperson on campus for products or services.
This includes advertising on bulletin boards (except on the Student Life bulletin
board) and taking orders from those who request a product, as well as stuffing
campus mailboxes.
We appreciate the concern that often motivates a desire to solicit help for needy
students and worthy causes. It is necessary, however, to avoid any type of
solicitation that puts pressure on a fellow student, including individual fundraising
for mission trips. School policy does not permit person-to-person appeals or
announcements for this purpose. School sponsored mission trips (through SMC or
CICS) are an exception to this policy. Questions should be directed to the Student
Life Office.
Student Insurance
CIU requires all students to carry adequate health insurance. Students may
purchase the CIU student health plan or elect to carry their own health insurance
that is comparable to the CIU student health plan. Students electing to carry their
own insurance must submit proof of insurance or they may be charged for the CIU
student health plan. In general, comparable health insurance should include:
