If you are in need of a proof of residency, please email our office at reslife@stedwards.edu.

Campus residents that have emergency repairs such as broken water pipes, power outages, lock difficulties, or other safety/security hazards should immediately contact a Residence Life staff member. If you can't reach a staff member, contact University Police at 512-488-8444.

For routine repairs, fill out the maintenance request appropriate to the community in which you live:

• Basil Moreau Hall, Casa, & Jacques Dujarie Hall
• Edmund Hunt, Le Mans, & Johnson halls
• Teresa Hall
• Maryhill & Hilltopper Heights Apartments
  NOTE: Apartment residents are responsible for replacing their own incandescent light bulbs (fluorescent bulbs are replaced by Facilities) and using a plunger to unclog toilets.
• St. André Apartments
  NOTE: Apartment residents are responsible for using a plunger to unclog toilets.

These requests will be reviewed and submitted by your residence director. Facilities will not process requests sent to their office that do not come from Residence Life professional staff.

It is important to report minor problems before they become major problems. If a condition becomes worse because of failure to report the problem in a timely manner, residents may be assessed damage charges. Residents are asked to cooperate with the maintenance staff so repairs can be made as quickly as possible. The university reserves the right to enter an apartment to make needed repairs.  

We are pleased to recommend GradGuard to help you protect your belongings with renters insurance! Read below for more information.

What is GradGuard Renter's Insurance?
GradGuard is a company that the university has partnered with to offer our students an optional College Renter's Insurance policy.

Am I required to have Renters Insurance?
St. Edwards does not assume any financial responsibility for the personal property of students. The university will not reimburse for any loss of personal property. All students are expected to obtain renters insurance, from a provider of their choosing, prior to move-in.

How do I sign up for GradGuard Renter's Insurance?
You will have the option to sign up during the housing application. If you opt in to the renter's insurance program, you will momentarily be routed to the GradGuard website. Upon completing their application, you will be routed back to the housing application.

Where can I learn more about GradGuard?
You can visit Grad Guard's FAQs to see their commonly asked questions and learn more about their company and product.
