Temperature Guide

Welcome to your new room! In order to accommodate your room temperature needs and comfort, each on-campus housing option has adjustable thermostat controls within the building. Please refer to the information presented below to properly control the temperature for your respective housing location. Proper handling of the temperature controls for your room is essential to conserve energy on campus, help the environment, and prevent unnecessary maintenance requests. If you have followed the directions as written, but are still experiencing issues with your room’s temperature, please contact our Facilities staff by submitting a maintenance request.

Temperature Control & Moisture Management

Managing temperature and airflow plays an important role in controlling moisture in your residential space. Because mold and mildew require moisture to grow, keeping your room’s HVAC system set and used correctly helps prevent conditions that allow moisture to linger.

Proper thermostat use, good airflow, and keeping vents unobstructed all support a healthy indoor environment. Following the temperature and ventilation guidance on this page helps your HVAC system function as designed and reduces excess humidity in your room.

For detailed information about mold, mildew, moisture prevention, cleaning expectations, health considerations, and how concerns are evaluated, visit our Mold, Mildew & Moisture Prevention resource.

Mold, Mildew and Moisture Prevention

When to Request Assistance

If you notice a moisture concern, visible growth that returns after cleaning, or conditions that seem unusual or persistent, submit a Maintenance Request so Facilities Management can evaluate the space and address any underlying issues.

Students who experience ongoing health symptoms should contact Student Health Service for guidance, as reactions to environmental allergens can vary.
