Laundry and Recreational Facilities

Each residential area offers laundry facilities that contain inexpensive coin-operated washing and drying machines.  TV lounges, quiet study lounges, vending and recreational areas, computer use facilities and more are also available, though all locations do not offer all facility types.  Please see our residence descriptions on page 2 for further details.

 
Mail Service

The office staff in each of the residential area mailrooms handles incoming mail and parcel post.  All mail is shipped and received through the Felician College Mailroom.  Students may receive mail by utilizing the following address:

   Student’s Name
   Room Number, Residential Area
   223 Montross Avenue
   Rutherford, NJ 07070

Student Health Services

The Center for Health is located in Elliott Terrace Residence Hall.  Any illnesses should be reported to the Center for Health, as College residence halls are neither planned nor staffed to permit ill students to remain in their rooms.  The College physician or Nurse Practitioner will assess a student’s condition to determine whether s/he should be sent home to recover from an illness.

Health Center services are completely confidential.  The Center hours are between 9:30 pm -4:00 pm Monday through Friday.  Appointments are preferred -- please call 559-3559 -- but walk-ins are always welcome.

Telephone Service

Each student room on campus is equipped with voice, data and video communication lines.  Students receive unlimited local service and limited on-line computer access as part of the telecommunications package.  This means that residents may make local telephone calls free of charge and may access the College’s network for access to email and other services, provided that they obtain the appropriate equipment and software.  The Office of Residence Life employs a part-time Internet Technician who assists students in equipping their computers and must receive a written request to connect a student to the system.  Students may obtain these forms in the Residence Life Office or their residence hall office.

Students wishing to place long-distance calls may choose to establish an account with our long distance carrier.  They will be provided with a personal identification number (PIN), which should remain confidential at all times.

With his/her PIN, a student may place long-distance calls and will be billed specifically for only those long-distance calls s/he makes.  This means no bill splitting at the end of each month!  But there is more good news.  The large volume of students on account with our long-distance carrier enables them to receive volume discounts, reducing the regular cost of long-distance calls.  Students are encouraged to take advantage of this service.

Television

Cable service is available in each room.  Students are required to bring their own TVs, VCRs, and/or DVDs and must supply their own coaxial cable from the wall jack to their TV.  The College’s basic cable system is free and includes a variety of family-friendly channel choices.  Some premium services are available to the student at additional cost.

 
Food Service

The College is pleased to entrust the food service operation to a contract food service corporation that is well qualified to serve you in our three food service locations.   Resident students’ main dining facilities are located on the ground floor of the Gym/Cafeteria building on the Rutherford campus.  Another large cafeteria exists in the Main College Building on the Lodi campus. Lastly, there is a wonderful snack bar/deli in the Student Center known as “The Falcon’s Nest.” 

The Rutherford Cafeteria serves breakfast, lunch and dinner every weekday, and serves brunch and dinner on the weekends, for a total of 19 meals per week. A minimum of three hot entrees, including meatless options, are served at each meal, as is a salad bar, deli service line, fast-food grill service line and a variety of beverages.

The 19-meal plan is required for all students living in the residence halls. Please contact Sodexho-Marriott at 201 559-6075 or 3555 for details.

Please be advised that where the food service plan is not mandatory, moneys paid for dropped meal plans will not be refunded after the first day of classes.

A Word about Computers 

Access to the College’s system is free to all students, but they must bring their own computer and monitor, and must have an Ethernet card and RJ45 patch cable.  Our staff will schedule installation as quickly as possible after arrival, however, depending upon demand each year, it may take up to 2 weeks for initial installation.  In subsequent years, installation will not be necessary – each student will simply be able to “plug and play” provided no changes have occurred which might prevent it.
