Monthly COVID-19 Testing

Residents are required to test monthly as part of health and safety screenings for our community. Housing has created a testing schedule based on each residential unit: residents should test between the dates listed below that correspond with their unit number. Find out which days are recommend for you to test by visiting the Current Residents page. 

Drive-thru Testing

Drive-thru testing is available to everyone. Bring a photo ID and insurance card (if applicable).

  • Monday-Friday: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
    • Parking Lot 11 (near Naraghi)

Walk-up Testing

Walk-up testing is available for faculty, staff & students. Campus community members must present a Stan State ID (or bring your ID number) to access the walk-up site.

  • Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
    • Parking Lot 11 (near Naraghi)
  • Tuesday & Thursday: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
    • Pergola outside Village 2 Gate
Pre-registration on the lab website is strongly recommended for faster on-site service.

If you experience trouble receiving results after five (5) business days, call HR Support at (308) 244-4581.

Package Notifications

Residents will receive an email alert once their package has arrived at the Housing Office and is ready to be picked up.
 
Please note that all packages are first delivered to the Shipping & Receiving department on campus before being transported to the Housing Office. We will let you know once your package is here and ready to be picked up. 
 
In a time crunch for an Amazon package? Rite Aid across the street from campus has an Amazon locker location! 

What is Warrior Life?


Warrior Life is a new platform for students that is home to many campus departments and resources, ways to get involved, virtual events like NSO, and the Housing community group. It is replacing a former platform called Warrior Connect.

Think of it as a mix of Facebook, LinkedIn, and the Stan State website: you can build your student profile, make connections with other students and staff, post in forums, AND you can also view and RSVP for events across campus, learn about campus organizations and groups, and much more!

To login to Warrior Life, visit warriorlife.csustan.edu/login_only. Your login information will be your Stan State credentials. Take a look around!

We will be posting more information about this new platform as well as how-to videos in each Verve and on our social media channels. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook!

Housekeeping

Do not flush wipes (even the flushable kind), feminine products, etc down the toilet. It's also a good idea to clean any hair out of your shower or sink after every use to help prevent build-up that could lead to a clog!

Let's Talk Trash

There are three dumpsters and one recycling location for residents to dispose of their trash and recycling. 

  • Behind the Village Cafe (dumpster)
  • By resident mailboxes/housing office (dumpster)
  • Near Village 3 parking lot (dumpster)
  • Village 2 green recycling cage (recycling) 

Use these dumpsters and the recycling chute to dispose of your unit's trash and recycling - do not use the trash bins inside the community.

Managing Your Stress

Hey Warriors! HEP here with another message on how to maintain and/or improve your overall health. This edition we’re focusing on stress management.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stress is a condition that is often characterized by symptoms of physical or emotional tension. It is a reaction to a situation where a person feels threatened or anxious.

Although we can’t eliminate our stressors, we can successfully manage them in a healthy way. Here are some tips for taking care of yourself:

  • Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. A proper diet can counterbalance the impact of stress by strengthening your immune system and stabilizing your mood.
  • Exercise regularly. Exercise is effective at reducing fatigue and enhancing your overall cognitive function.
  • Get plenty of sleep. Sleep allows our brains to recharge and our bodies to rest.
  • Give yourself a break if you feel stressed out – for example, treat yourself to a therapeutic massage.
  • Maintain a normal routine.
