University of Louisville8 www.louisville.edu/parents 9
the thinker
The Thinker statue sits in front of Grawemeyer Hall and is the first large-scale bronze cast of The Thinker and claims priority as the most original from 1903. The city decided to put The Thinker at UofL and it has sat in front of Grawemeyer Hall since 1949. To learn more about the UofL icon visit louisville.edu/about/thinker.
the CARds Cheer
The CARDS Cheer is one of the first things new students and their families learn when they come on campus. A trademark at athletic games and campus events, the cheer also is the universal (and loudest) way to show your UofL pride.
Give Me An “L”
To show our school pride and connect with the Cardinal family worldwide, we’ve got one move: Flashing an “L.” You’ll do this when you pose for photos, when a UofL team is successful, or really any time the moment grabs you. Using your right hand, stick out your thumb to the side while raising your index and middle fingers and bending the ring and pinky. That’s it, now you’re part of the tradition. Try it!
it’s A barnburner
By the time your student graduates, some of their fondest UofL memories will have
Cardinal Traditionsbeen made at the famous George J. Howe Red Barn. The Red Barn hosts a variety of events from orientation to graduation fairs and everything in between. Founded by two UofL students in 1969, the building has been a gracious host for everything from guest speakers to punk concerts.
White squirrels
A few albino (white) squirrels roam campus. When you spot one, it’s a sign of a good day. Or, well, at least you’ll feel like you’ve accomplished something special for the day.
Clues that You’re A Cardinal
• You never step on the Cardinal Bird…you try not to drive on it either!
• Any slow clap means one thing; it’s time for a CARDS cheer!
• You used to like the color blue, but now you’re disgusted by it!
Academic Advisinglouisville.edu/advising
Academic advisors can help your student investigate degree programs and careers, and be of assistance if your student experiences academic difficulty. The university has created an exciting initiative, Flight Plan, which allows your student to stay on course to graduate in four years or in the timeframe of their choice louisville.edu/flightplan.
Career development Centerlouisville.edu/career
The Career Development Center offers comprehensive services and programs to help students clarify their academic and career goals, gain practical experience through practice interviews, internships and cooperative education experiences, and identify employment opportunities and options.

University of Louisville14 www.louisville.edu/parents 15

FAFsA information
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the application for federal grants, work-study, and loans as well as some state and institutional aid programs. File the FAFSA online at fafsa.gov. We recommend students file the FAFSA as soon as possible each year.
Award Notification & Aid disbursement
Award notifications are sent via email. First-year students will also receive a paper award letter in the mail. The award notification will direct students to their ULink account. On ULink, you can accept, reduce, or decline loan offers. Scholarships and grants are automatically listed on ULink as accepted.
Starting the week prior to the start of fall classes, funds will be disbursed. The Bursar’s Office will then post that aid
to your student’s account. Disbursed financial aid that exceeds a student’s balance is considered excess or residual funds. Eligible Student refunds will be based on a student’s preference. The preference will be handled through Bank Mobile and information will be available on the Bursar website.
bursar office
The Bursar’s Office handles all Billing and Payment information. For information on tuition and fees visit the Bursar’s Office website at louisville.edu/finance/bursar. Your Account (listed under the section Tuition, Fees, and Payment Options) on ULink will list the student’s charges, disbursed financial aid, residual funds, and anticipated aid.
FeRPA
The University of Louisville is required by law to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This law establishes guidelines to protect the privacy of student records and to provide students access to these records. This means that students have the right to keep their records private and that the university is prohibited from sharing a student’s FERPA-protected information with anyone without a written release.
This does not mean that information is not available to you as parents. Students may share information with parents by setting up a PIN on their student portal ULink, ULink.louisville.edu. Have your student share their PIN with you and then please provide the student ID number and PIN when you request information for your student. However, due to FERPA, even as the parent or legal guardian who has the students’ ID and PIN some offices may still require that the student is the direct person speaking in order to release information. At any point, students can change their ULink PIN and these steps do not guarantee that student information can be shared.

On behalf of the entire Campus Housing team, I am pleased to welcome you to our community! We are excited to have your student live on campus with us and appreciate the trust you place in us to care for your student! We are confident that living on campus will be a critical piece of your student’s success at UofL. We aim to create an environment that allows students to grow, develop, engage in the community, and, most importantly, be academically successful.
It is our commitment to ensure that our students have the housing options they need for their entire undergraduate career at UofL. We do this through our unique combination of campus housing, partnership housing, and our off campus affiliated communities. Through this strategy, we are able to ensure that our students have a wide array of choices for housing throughout their undergraduate years.
Why is this so important to us? Because data on college students shows that living on campus is one of the key factors that support success, both academically and interpersonally. All of our staff, both student and professional, are committed to ensuring that your student has every opportunity to achieve their goals at UofL.
As parents and family members, we welcome you to our community as well. I hope that we will have the opportunity to meet with some of you throughout your student’s time living with us. If, at any point, any of my staff or I can be of assistance to you, please reach out either by phone or email. We will do our best to help! In the meantime, hopefully this guide will answer some of your more pressing questions.
see you soon and Go Cards!

staff in the Halls
RAL
Resident Assistant Leader. Student leader who lives in the halls with your student. They enforce policies, mediate roommate conflicts, create events, and periodically check on your student.
CHA/CM/dA
Student staff who cover the front desks of our halls. They monitor who enters the buildings and are a great resource for any questions your student may have.
Hd/RLC
Graduate students or full-time staff who supervise the RALs and oversee the facilities of the building. They have office hours where your student can meet with them.
ssC/Corvus
Staff who clean the residence halls. The halls are cleaned six days a week including the community bathrooms. (If your student is in a suite or an apartment, they will be responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms and kitchens.)
How Can You Help Your student?
It can be frustrating when you know your student is dealing with a problem away from home. Below are some common issues and information you can use to help your student resolve them.
Problems with their roommateAt the beginning of the semester, your student’s RAL will sit with them and their roommate(s) to complete a “side by side agreement.”
• Encourage them to talk with their roommate;
• They can talk with their RAL who can mediate a conversation between roommates;
• A room change request can be submitted after mediation.
issues in their room/floor
• If something is broken in their room or if there is another issue (water leaking, pests, mold, too hot): your student should start by filling out a “FIX IT” form located under the forms link on the housing website. Your student can ask the front desk staff for help in filling one out;
• If your student has reported the issue but it has not been resolved, they can talk to their HD/RLC who can follow up on the issue and be an advocate for your student;
• In the case of an emergency, such as a flood or fire, your student should go to their front desk immediately.
internet issues: Your student can contact MyResNet 24 hours a day by:
• Phone: 1 (855) 377-4157
• Chat: www.myresnet.com/support
• Text: “ResNet” to 84700
Any other issues:
• If your student complains of a problem they don’t know how to resolve be it academic, health or social, talking to their RAL is always a good starting point;
• If your student is uncomfortable talking to their RAL, they can always talk to their HD/RLC or visit either housing office in Stevenson Hall or Kurz Hall.
Know the Lingo

University of Louisville26 27
Your student will no longer be required to live on campus. A wide set of options are available to them: on campus, affiliated, and off campus. It is important to have a conversation early on about not signing a lease anywhere until your student and you are 100% ready to do so.
On-Campus Housing information will come out in late Fall and typically the application opens in early Spring. Start asking your student about whether they have received an email from us in early November as we don’t want any residents to miss out on living on campus.
Affiliated Housing is a popular option for many of our upper class students. These are private partners with the University who provide housing to students within walking distance to campus. They are typically 12 month contracts and are traditional landlord tenant leases. Your student will start hearing from our different partners in late Fall.
Off-Campus Unaffiliated Housing is also an option if you decide with your student that they should move completely off campus. The site offcampushousing.louisville.edu can be a good resource to look at student-friendly apartments and offers a message board for finding roommates and subleasing.
Was your student active in student government or other organizations in high school? RSA is a great way for your student to get involved early. Hall council elections happen in September. If your student isn’t ready to take that step, they can still participate in RSA meetings and volunteer for activities.
Resident Student Association (RSA)
Students who work 10 to 20 hours a week get higher grades, and Campus Housing has over 150 student employee and leader positions available. Many of our positions will have openings available in early to mid-Fall. These positions will be advertised by flyers in the halls and through our social media, so encourage your student to stay connected for the latest information.
Work on Campus, Get Paid
Thinking About the Second Year
Campus Housing positions are:
• Community Hall Assistant/Desk Assistant
• Facility Assistant• Residential Area Technology Specialist• Residential Assistant Leader• Office Assistant
Additional information about all our positions is available at louisville.edu/housing/jobs.

How does My student Get Mail?
To receive mail and packages, residents living in the following halls must have a campus post office box.
• Louisville Hall• Miller Hall• Threlkeld Hall• Unitas Tower
Your student can sign up for a post office box during Orientation. The cost of a mailbox is $5.00. Your student may also visit the post office after move-in to get a box. For package delivery, the postal service will receive the package and place notification in the student’s P.O. Box letting him/her know there is a package to be picked up.
Residents in the following halls will find mailboxes in the buildings where they live and may receive packages there as well.
• Bettie Johnson Hall • Billy Minardi Hall* • Community Park • Kurz Hall • Medical Dental Apartments• University Tower Apartments
*Residents of Billy Minardi Hall will receive packages at Community Park.
Cancellation
• If your student has completed an application and is no longer attending UofL, have them fill out the Cancellation Request Form immediately to minimize cancellation fees.
• If they are attending UofL but no longer intend to live on campus, they will need to fill out the First Year Exemption Request Form and the Cancellation Request Form.
MyResNet
We have partnered with Apogee to provide wireless internet service and support to the residence halls. Residents have a 20mbps connection and the ability to connect up to five devices. If you decide with your student that they should have a faster speed or the ability to connect additional devices, you can upgrade the service for $89 a semester. We would recommend that your student try out the base service first, as the majority of residents find that it meets their needs.
Visit louisville.edu/housing/options/info/internet to learn more.
