Upperclass Students Only


Overview
Dickens Hall opened in August 2012. This hall has been designated as an upperclassman hall for 290 male and female students. It features a hybrid style of housing, apartment-style with a residence hall setting. It was named after Marty Dickens, the chairman of the Board of Trustees. The main entrance and each floor is monitored through ID card access. In addition, there is a three-level parking garage attached to the building.
Staff
Dickens Hall residents are supported by nine Residents Assistants (RAs) with one to two RAs per floor. Each RA has gone through extensive training in order to be a resource to our residents. RAs create social and educational opportunities right here in the complex through programming and community-building efforts. The RAs are supervised by one full-time, live-in professional staff member, known as the Residence Director (RD). The RD is trained in crisis management, acts as a resource to the residents of the complex, and oversees the administrative aspects of the complex such as maintenance and discipline. The RD maintains regular hours in their office and lives in an apartment that is also located in the building. The front desk is open during visitation hours.

If you change rooms, it is your responsibility to update your new room assignment with The UPS Store at Belmont (Room assignment change notifications will no longer be necessary after the fall semester). Complete a Change of Address form with USPS for permanent off-campus address changes only (available online at moversguide.ups.com/mgo/move-info). It is also your responsibility to notify any family, friends, creditors, banks, etc. of your change of address. For summer break and Christmas break, mail forwarding updates and changes can be made through Banner Web via your MyBelmont portal.
All mail will generally be placed in your mailbox by 4 p.m. each day, Monday through Friday (there is no mail delivery on Saturday, Sunday or federal holidays). If you receive a package, you will be notified via email. All packages can be picked up at the Belmont UPS Store located on the corner of 12th Ave. South and Acklen Ave.
Students may have some of their belongings shipped to their campus address prior to their arrival. We ask that packages arrive no earlier than a week before move-in due to our limited storage space. Storage fees may occur for incoming packages that arrive earlier than a week before move-in.
