The Office of Residence Life never closes. We are open 24-hours a day and 365 days per year to provide you with the help and support that you need.
We have a multi-level approach to providing this continuous support for our residential students. Our on-call system will respond to issues directly from student outreach or through Public Safety's Dispatch system.

Residents have 24/7 continuous access to their specific residential facility. Additionally, residents can access residence halls within their residential community during the following times:
- Weekdays: 9am-midnight on weekdays
- Weekends: 11am-midnight on weekends
Note: residents utilizing community access are still considered guests within that community and should be hosted by a resident in that building. Exceptions are granted when a resident is attending a community event or meeting.
CWRU provides lockout service to all residential students free or charge. Below are specific instructions for lockouts and access issues based on the time of day.
Self-Service Lockouts: many areas allow residents to complete a self-service let-in if they are locked out in their areas. Self-service lockout users should proceed to their myHousing to complete this process.
Residents can complete a self-service lockout as long as they have access to their Duo dual factor authentication on a personal device.
Buildings that offer self-service lockouts are:
- First-Year: All community buildings
- Second Year: Noyes House and Fayette House
- Upperclass: Stephanie Tubbs Jones House and Village Houses 6 & 7
- All other buildings require in-person lockout support.
Daytime Lockouts: Residents locked out of their building or room space during the day should proceed to the University Housing Area Office within their Residential Village.
- Wade Commons offers support for the North Residential Village (NRV)
- Fribley Commons offers support for the South Residential Village (SRV)
Note that the Area Offices are only open during specific business hours. Please view these hours and more information about Area Office services here.
Overnight Lockouts: Outside of Area Office business hours, all residents are able to utilize the Residence Life on-call system for support if they become locked out of their building or room space.
Our Resident Assistants On-Call (RAOC) provide the following coverage for both building and room lockouts:
- Weekdays (Sunday through Thursday)
- 10pm until 8am, the following morning
- Weekends (Friday and Saturday)
