In-Room Data, Phone and Video Connections

Students who have already received their residential hall assignment for the 2008-09 academic year may wish to familiarize themselves with voice, data and video connections available in their room. Connection panels throughout rooms and residence halls may not be similar.

To assist you with connecting the correct cable to the appropiate panel and port, all connection panels are illustrated on this page as they appear in your residential hall. In some cases, they are further classified by room type (single or double). All data ports are labeled to identify the room number and data port number or letter. This information is useful for troubleshooting any connectivity issues.

Click on the name of your residence hall from the list below to locate the section with your residence hall name. Then review the photographs and caption in that section for connection details.
