PRINTING IN PC LABS
Students will be charged for printing in the library and general purpose PC Labs. Printed pages are charged at a rate of 10 cents per monochrome and 25 cents per color page. Each student will be given $10 credit each quarter to compensate for technical challenges when printing in these locations. Printing charges are tallied at the end of each quarter and added to each student's account less the $10 credit.
University-Owned, Off-Campus (Village) Housing
Walla Walla University owns a limited number of apartments and houses for students to rent. Rent is charged to the student account in 3 month increments and prorated based on check in and check out dates.
Students must apply for housing during open application periods. Priority is granted to applicants who are married and/or have children and/or are 25 years of age or older. Housing offers are made to other applicants on a first-come, first served basis. Financial arrangements must be approved by Student Financial Services before a student may move into a residence.
Students not registered for the following quarter are required to vacate the day after the last day of finals, or if graduating in June, the day following the graduation commencement. A 30-day "move out" notice is required. Students not giving a 30-day notice may forfeit up to 30 days of rent. Upon vacating, students are responsible for restoring the residence to its initial clean condition. If there are charges for an incomplete move out, cleaning, damage, moving out late, or failure to return keys, these charges will be added to the student's account.

Pet Policy
Animals of any kind, except harmless fish in an aquarium (not to exceed 10-gallon capacity per residence) are prohibited. Service and assistance animals are restricted to students who have received prior accommodations for such through Disability Support Services. The presence of animals within university-owned housing poses serious health, safety, and maintenance concerns. In addition to direct damage incurred by animals, many students have allergic reactions to various animals.
