Sustainability Pledge: On-campus residents are encouraged to become part of the university's VCU Goes Green effort to create a more sustainable, less wasteful campus. Make a statement about your dedication to environmental stewardship by taking the Sustainability Pledge.
Smoking Policy: All VCU residence halls became smoke-free effective August 1, 2010. No smoking is permitted within residence hall bedrooms, common areas, hallways, stairwells, outdoor walkways, balconies, courtyards, or within 25 feet of all residence hall entrances.
Landline Phone Availability: Separate landline telephone connections are no longer provided in students' rooms within the VCU residence halls. Students therefore should not bring their own landline telephone. However, "courtesy" landline phones will be available throughout each hall. If a student wishes to use a courtesy phone for a long-distance call, he or she will need to provide their own calling card.
