Campus Amenities

Our campus provides the following services and opportunities in order to help our students feel more at home in their residence hall!

Campus Necessities

Internet & TV

Our campus provides ethernet and wireless internet through MyResNet. MyResNet is a residential network provided by Apogee to provide residence with reliable, high-speed access and 24/7 customer support. The Basic Plan is designed for TAMUG students at no additional charge-providing the 2 Mbps of download speed. Students also have the option to upgrade for additional services for a fee. Students may begin signing up for their account after they arrive for Move-In weekend. You will need your school email, room number, along with other basic information to complete your set up.

Students are NOT permitted set up their own wireless network or bring wireless routers to campus, as it may ruin the connection for others. For further information about computing on campus contact our Information Technology Department at (409) 740-4714.

Apogee and Texas A&M University at Galveston have partnered to bring you digital TV service. Digital TV service provides better picture quality, additional HD programming and improved audio.

Verify that your TV has the proper QAM tuner (internal or external). Without a QAM tuner you will not receive TV service. You can check to see if the TV has an internal tuner by searching the specifications section of your TV manual. If you no longer have your TV manual, locate the make and model of the TV and lookup the specs online.

If your TV does not have an internal QAM tuner, an external QAM tuner will need to be purchased in order to receive channels.

Ensure that all cables are connected securely.
In the menu or set-up options on the TV, verify that the TV is set to CABLE or CATV.
Run a channel scan. This setting is normally located in the menu or set-up option however it varies depending on the TV make and model.

Kitchen

Kitchen facilities, including a oven, stove, microwave, sink and countertops, are available on the first floors of Atlantic, Pacific, and TAMMAH. All residential students are welcome to use these spaces.

Laundry

Laundry facilities are available on the first floor of every residence hall. Washers and dryers are free-use (a nominal laundry fee is included in the student fees paid each year). Students may track the availability of laundry machines via the Laundry View website.

Maintenance Requests

All requests for maintenance service (whether a light bulb needs changing or your shower won't drain) should be made directly at one of our residence hall front desks in Atlantic, Pacific, or TAMMA Halls. DO NOT give maintenance requests directly to maintenance staff because they cannot act upon direct requests. NOTE: Any repairs resulting from damage by the resident can be billed to the resident.

Facilities Services works to address each concern as soon as possible. Work orders are addressed in the order of urgency. Staff may enter a room to make repairs without residents being present in the room.

Students who need to use a plunger may contact Campus Living & Learning or a Community Leader to borrow a plunger.

Emergency problems which occur when Campus Living & Learning is closed should be reported to an on-duty Community Leader by calling (409)740-5525 (24-hours a day.)

Room and Equipment Reservations

Residents may reserve spaces such as the Media Pit by contacting Campus Living & Learning. Reservations for the Media Pit may be made up to one week in advance. Priority for this space will be given to staff hosting public events. Reservations may only be made for hours when Campus Living & Learning is open not to exceed more than 3 hours of use at a time.

Student groups and University offices may reserve the group study room for specific purposes approved by Campus Living & Learning. Otherwise, the space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis only. Students studying individually in this space may be asked to relocate if a group wants to use the space.

Students may check-out various equipment while Campus Living & Learning is open, including: (Please have ID present)

Pool Sticks

Foosballs
Ping-Pong paddles and balls
X Box 360* and games

Partnerships

College Products: MicroChill

Micro Chill

College Products is a dynamic company that specializes in partnering directly with student housing departments at colleges and universities across the nation providing products to help students turn their rooms into HOMES. We supply patented steel lofting systems that allow students to loft their beds without taking school provided furniture out of the room. College Products carries the MicroChill® brand (MicroChill) of compact fridge/freezers and fridge/freezer/microwave combo units. We also carry an auxiliary line of products: Big Hoss™ futons and QuicKey™ personal safes (meeting a fast-growing need across many college campuses).

MicroChill® refrigerator/freezers and certified combination appliances are eco-friendly, and that’s just one of the many reasons why we at College Products love them! In 2014 MicroChill® was the first company with compact units designed specifically for college students to introduce to the market an eco-friendly unit that uses all natural refrigerant (R600a). MicroChill® has been leading the way by possessing the most energy efficient units on the market. This year is no different, MicroChill® announced that their kWh rating has dropped yet again! Operating at 199 kWh and pulling just 0.39 amps to run, these units continue to be industry leaders in energy efficiency. College Products provides sales, school lease and student rental options for these appliances, with programs that are customized to your needs!

Why is a combination appliance such a great option for your halls? When students bring units from home, they tend to be purchased from a big box store (far from efficient in their energy consumption) and then each separate appliance is plugged into an outlet in the room. Couple those appliances with all of the other electronics the students bring such as TVs, computers, printers, gaming systems, and more; think of how much energy this draws from each room! Combination appliances were designed specifically to combat this issue, making your residence halls more energy efficient.

On Campus Marketing

The Residence Hall Association (RHA) would like to introduce you to Residence Hall Linens – a convenient source for ordering all of your campus living needs. RHA has partnered with On Campus Market (OCM) to provide TAMUG students and families with a convenient, affordable way to ensure you have everything you’ll need for life in our residence halls. The Residence Hall Linens program has all your campus living needs, from sheets and comforters to matching towels, room decor and storage items. We also partner with On Campus Marketing to offer students Resident Care Packages throughout the year with a variety of package options. Family, friends and loved ones can take advantage of this service to give their student(s) some words of encouragement and some fulfilling snacks to help them get through the school year. Proceeds from this program go to the RHA and are used for programming within the residence halls.

Personal Property (Renter's) Insurance

Students should be aware that like any residential facility, at times pipes break, air conditioners may go out, or other facility maintenance-related concerns may arise. Students are responsible for the condition of their personal property. Texas A&M University at Galveston recommends students purchase their own renter's insurance policy if other family insurance policies (such as a home-owner's policy) does not cover the student property. University Student Rules indicate the University does not assume responsibility at any time for the private property of students and is not liable for the loss or damage of any article of personal property anywhere on the premises.

We strongly recommend to students that you buy personal property, or renter's, insurance to protect the personal valuables brought to campus. Check with your parents to see if you are already covered through current insurance policies before purchasing your own. There are several resources available to students to protect their personal property for a low cost, some even as low as $7/month.

Additionally, students are responsible for any damage to University property in their assigned residence hall room and should make sure to return all University property to the same or better condition it was in upon the student's move-in to the residence hall room.

NSSI/Worth Ave. Group

Accidental Damage and Cracked Screen Protection:

Protect your student’s iPhone and laptop from cracked screens and drops. In addition to your mobile devices, you can protect all of the personal property that is in your student’s dorm room from theft, accidents and flooding.

Deductibles as low as $25
Premiums as low as $66/year
