If you will be attending classes virtually or in person, be sure to check out additional student resources.
Register for a Parking Permit
All faculty, staff, and students parking cars on campus are expected to register their vehicles. Students parking on campus must register their vehicles and/or motorcycles annually, for which a fee is charged and the appropriate permit issued. Faculty and staff are issued a permanent hang tag, which must be returned to the University upon leaving their employment.
Access and Compliance
Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact Access and Compliance (AAC) prior to or upon enrollment at the University. Requests for services and accommodations will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must relate specifically to the students’ disability. Visit Access and Compliance for applications and necessary documentation.
Where To Live
If you are interested in living on campus, start by submitting your housing application. Housing placement is based on the date of your housing application, so apply early. Housing decisions and roommate information are sent out by the first of June each year. If you have any questions you may contact the Housing & Residence Life office at housing@powerorigin.net or 205-665-6235. You may also join our Facebook housing group to connect with other incoming students who are looking for a roommate.
