Yes. Housing contracts are for the full academic year, including both semesters. Students who move out prior to the end of the contract term are subject to a contract termination fee (see more below).
If you no longer plan on living on campus and need to cancel your housing application, please contact the Student Life Office (307-268-2394). If you cancel prior to August 1st, you will receive your $200 housing deposit back. If you cancel after that but prior to moving in, your deposit will be forfeited. If you need to cancel after you’ve moved in, you will be subject to the contract termination process (see below).
Students who move out before the end of their contract term will receive a prorated refund for room and board charges (provided the move-out day is before the semester refund deadline). Students will also be assessed a $1,000 contract termination fee and have their housing deposit forfeited. If the student has an approved petition to remove the termination fee, that charge will be removed from the student’s account and the housing deposit will be refunded, as long as there are no charges to the student at the time of check-out (i.e. damages, missing keys, etc.).
Yes. No refunds will be given for room and board after the following dates, even if a petition for contract release is submitted and approved.
Room and board charges are posted to a student’s account at the time a room is assigned. Charges are posted in a lump sum for each semester. Prior to moving in each semester, students are required to either a) have their account balance paid in full, b) have pending financial aid to cover their entire account balance, or c) have a payment plan set up. Payment plans can be set up through Nelnet, Casper College’s payment processor. To access Nelnet, log into myCCinfo, select “Financial Information,” then “Student Finance,” then “Payment Plans/Make a Payment/Student Refunds,” then click “Proceed to Processor.”
Students paying for double occupancy rooms are expected to have a roommate at all times. This process is called room consolidation. As occupancy shifts throughout the year, if a student in a double does not have a roommate for any reason, the student may select one of the following options:
Students living in the Residence Hall or Wheeler Terrace will be assigned a designated mailbox. Mail is delivered to the Residence Hall and processed on weekdays. Letters are placed in the student’s mailbox. Packages are held at the Front Desk, and a slip is placed in the student’s mailbox to notify them they have a package available for pick up.
To ensure mail and packages correctly reach us, please address items as follows:
Note: Both first and last name are needed in order for the package to be delivered. Please do not put the student’s mailbox number in the address. The above address is for Residence Hall and Wheeler Terrace student mail.
When packages are accepted by the Casper College Receiving Department, carriers will often mark them as “delivered.” However, we still need time to transport the package to the Residence Hall for processing at the Front Desk. This process can take a day or two, depending on the time the package was received and available staffing. If you do not receive a package slip in your mailbox within two business days, please let the Front Desk know.
Yes. The Residence Hall has laundry facilities on each floor. Wheeler Terrace has a laundry room located on the 2nd floor. Laundry machines are operated by a declining balance card. Students can receive a laundry card and add money using the machine located by the elevator in the Residence Hall.
Yes! All of our rooms have private in-room bathrooms. Students are responsible for cleaning their bathroom and supplying it with materials (i.e. toilet paper, shower curtain, cleaning supplies).
Yes. The Residence Hall is equipped with six community kitchen/lounge areas, and each have computers where students can connect to the Casper College network. Additionally, there are computer terminals located in the Educational Resource Center on the 2nd floor as well.
The Residence Hall Front Desk has a variety of supplies available for students to check out, including: vacuums, brooms, mops, tools, board games, and moving carts/dollies.
Yes. All of our beds can be adjusted to a student’s desired height, with no additional bed parts required. When lofted to the maximum height, beds have a clearance of 60 inches.
Each Residence Hall room has two beds (Twin XL), two built-in closets (with hanging rod and overhead shelf), two dressers, two night stands, two desks, and two desk chairs. The bathroom vanity also has several drawers for additional storage.
Yes. Residence Hall and Wheeler Terrace students may park for free in one of the three designated Residence Hall lots (west, east, and south of the Residence Hall). Handicapped parking is available only to those with a handicapped placard or license plate. Students may not park in any fire lanes, or spaces labeled for other purposes (i.e. “Casper College Vehicles,” etc.). Overnight parking is limited to Residence Hall lots only.
We encourage all students to take advantage of our housing software’s roommate matching service. After completing a housing application, students may complete a roommate profile that other same-gender students can view. Students can then browse for potential roommates, contact students they would like to learn more about, and create a roommate group with their final roommate choice.
The easiest way to request a specific roommate is to use the roommate matching functions of the housing application software to create a roommate group. Once a roommate group is created and both students have approved the match, one of the two can select a room for both students when the room selection lottery opens. Students may also contact the Student Life Office to discuss specific roommate needs.
Our supply of single rooms is limited. We offer single rooms to returning sophomores first, then freshmen applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. Once single rooms are no longer available, students will have the opportunity to be put on a waitlist for single rooms.
Room assignments look a little different for students in different groups. For student-athletes (soccer, basketball, and volleyball), coaches typically make room and roommate assignments for athletes. Students in the Freshman Interest Group (FIG) may be assigned to a room earlier in the summer to ensure they receive a room in the designated FIG wing. Students who indicate they would like a single room may also be assigned a room prior to the room lottery, to ensure adequate space available for single rooms.
Students may move into the Residence Hall beginning Thursday, August 14, at 9 a.m. Classes for Fall 2025 begin Monday, August 18.

Residence Hall rooms have plenty of wall space for students to add their own personal flair. The adjustable bed height also allows a lot of customization, from choosing storage underneath, to futons/chairs/TV area, etc. Make sure to coordinate with your roommate, and remember that no nails or screws may be used to hang items.
The following items are prohibited in on-campus housing:
Each wing of the Residence Hall has a designated Resident Assistant (RA). RAs are highly-trained student leaders who live and work in the Residence Hall and are here to help students get the most out of their on-campus living experience. RAs work the Front Desk (see below), provide after-hours on-call service, host fun activities for students, and in general serve as a resource and mentor to students living on campus.
RAs staff the Front Desk from 8 a.m.-10 p.m., Monday-Friday. The Front Desk processes student mail and packages, checks out equipment to students, manages room check-ins and check-outs, and is generally available to students for questions and support.
Yes. Campus Security officers routinely patrol the Residence Hall and other on-campus housing areas. Officers on the night shift can often be found at the Front Desk watching security cameras and answering questions of students. If no officer is present, Security may be contacted 24/7/365 by calling 307-268-2688.
Yes. We have two Residence Hall Tutors who provide free tutoring services exclusive to students living in the Residence Hall. Tutoring takes place in the Educational Resource Center (the classroom area on the 2nd floor of the Residence Hall) Sunday-Thursday, 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. Our tutors specialize in basic study skills, test preparation, writing, and math.
If students wish to report or need help with an urgent safety concern, we recommend calling Campus Security at 307-268-2688. 911 should also be called in the case of life-threatening emergencies. For lower-level concerns (i.e. noise complaints, roommate troubles, etc.), students may call the RA on Duty at 307-251-7937. To notify the CC Care Team of a student you’re concerned about, we encourage you to submit a care report.
