RAs (Resident Assistants): If you are living in a residence hall, a RA will
  serve as a resource during your Wesley College housing experience.
  These upperclass student leaders will provide important information,
 schedule fun and informative programs, and assist with any challenges
         that you encounter while living in the Residence Halls.

OLs (Orientation Leaders): These upperclass student leaders should be
   familiar to you because they assisted during your one-day SOAR
 experience. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the orientation
    process and different campus resources. Be sure to ask a lot of
                              questions!
What Happens If...
                                                                                   Page 17

I am hungry! How will I eat?
If you are a residential student, your meal plan will be activated on Wednesday, August
15, 2018. All you will need to do is swipe your student ID upon your arrival to the dining
hall. All first-year students who live on campus have the Unlimited meal plan (19 meals per
week). You must access the dining hall by swiping your ID card. In the instance that your
ID card does not swipe in the dining hall, please visit the Business Office. They will be able
to assist you.

If you are a commuter student and have a meal plan, your meal plan will be activated on
Wednesday, August 15, 2018. All you will need to do is swipe your student ID your arrival
to the dining hall. If you are a commuter student interested in purchasing a meal plan for
the semester, you may do so with Residence Life located in the Office of Student Affairs,
College Center, First Floor.

I want to see the local area. How do I explore Dover?
Bus services will be available for the off-campus trips in your WOW booklet. You will need
to meet in front of your residence hall (if you live on campus), or in the Commuter Lounge
(in the Underground, College Center). Talk to your RAs or OLs about the service.

I have questions! What if I get lost or need help?
Feel free to ask any of the OLs, RAs, faculty or staff your questions, to be pointed in the
right direction. The RAs and the OLs will have rosters and schedules to help guide you
throughout WOW. If there is an emergency, please do not hesitate to contact Public
Safety at (302)-736-2436.

The Financial Aid and Business Office departments are closed for the day. With
whom do I speak with?
If you arrive to campus and both the Financial Aid and Business Offices are closed, you
will need to wait until the next business day to visit those departments. You will not be
permitted to move into the residence halls.

My ID card does not work. Where should I go?
If your ID card stops working between the hours of 8:30am - 4:30pm, please stop by the
Public Safety Office, located in the Underground (Ground Floor of the College Center). If
your ID card stops working past 4:30pm, please contact Public Safety by phone at (302)
-736-2436. One of the Public Safety Officers will be able to provide you with instructions.
