Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

... on Everything Else



Can I bring my car to campus? 
Yes, you can. Parking permits are required for all students that wish to bring a vehicle to campus and may be obtained from FGCU Parking Services

During vacations and breaks, may I stay in the residence halls?
Residence halls remain open during the various university holidays and students are allowed to stay in their apartments depending on the terms and conditions of their contract.  Housing is closed to all residents during the time period between the end of the Summer semester and Fall move-in.

How will I receive mail while I am living on campus?All students who live on campus are assigned a mailbox located in the Commons building in North Lake Village and main lobby of Everglades Hall. You will receive your mailbox and mailing address at move-in.
Your mail box number will be used in the address line followed by FGCU Campus Housing.  Note: to ensure proper mail delivery the word "Box" or the symbol # should not appear in the address.  Correspondence should be addressed as follows:

Student Name
Mail box number FGCU Campus Housing
Fort Myers, FL  33965

What if I decide to move off campus during the academic year? There is not one answer to this question.  Please read the terms and conditions of your contract carefully.  It contains important information regarding contract cancellations.  Once the contract is signed and returned to our office, it is binding for the entire length of the contract.

Can I have a tour of a room before I arrive?
Yes, a representative 2 bedroom single suite in South Village is available for tours year-round (with the exception of the 2 weeks prior to move-in in the fall, move-out in the spring, and Christmas day.) Just stop by the lobby of Biscayne Hall; tours take place on the half hour between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm.  Our tour guides are Resident Assistants who live in our residence hall and can answer all types of questions.  The Office of Admissions Welcome Center also provides complete campus tours, including a stop at the model in South Village.  Due to the high demand for rooms, we do not have an apartment in North Lake Village open for tours.  However, you may take a self-guided tour through the Commons, Eagles' Landing and the lakefront.
