Q:  How do I arrange to receive mail or packages while staying at CUA? 

A:  While CUA is not able to receive mail, local post offices offer boxes that may be checked after hours.  Post Office boxes are good alternatives for individuals who work long hours.

Q:  What do I bring to campus? A:  Just the same as the academic year, anyone staying in University housing will need to bring bedding, towels/washcloths, alarm clocks, desk lamps, etc.  While the rooms are fully furnished, guests staying in the apartment style will need to bring dishes, pots, pans to take advantage of the kitchen units.  In addition, guests in the apartment style are urged to bring cleaning supplies as the private bathrooms are not routinely cleaned by university staff.

Q:  What do I do if I need to change my reservation. A:  Interns are responsible for the dates of stay they contracted for. In the event that you would like to extend your stay, please contact Conferences & Event Planning at cua-conferences@cua.edu Extensions will be handled on a case-by-case basis and are subject to availability.
Q:  Whom do I call in case of an emergency?

A: Call 202.319.5111 or extension 5111 from campus, to report any on-campus emergencies.  This includes, but is not limited to:  theft, fire, drugs, dangerous situations, and major maintenance concerns.  All other requests should be directed to the Information Desk, 202.319.5200 or extension 5200 from campus.
