Other Information

University Housing

We are pleased to offer you several options for summer housing.  Two halls are open for your convenience – North Hall and Red Cedar Hall.  Many students chose to live on campus because it is hassle-free.  You don’t have to arrange for a telephone line, cable TV, high-speed internet, utilities, garbage collection, or lawn mowing – all are included in the price!

North Hall offers both double and single rooms, is close to classrooms and the library, and provides a more traditional residence hall experience.  Rooms in North Hall are equipped with beds, dressers, closets, desks, bookcase, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, cable TV connection, high-speed internet connection and local phone service.  The North Hall basement offers a huge multi-person gourmet kitchen, a large laundry facility, a well-equipped game room, a weight/exercise room, a computer lab, and a number of meeting/study spaces.  North Hall is served by one elevator, and students can bring in their own air conditioners (for an extra fee).

Red Cedar Hall, Stout’s new suite-style building, offers more of an “apartment” feeling to it.  Opened in the fall of 2005, Red Cedar offers 4 person suites that have single bedrooms, a living room, kitchenette, and private bath room facilities.  The kitchenettes offer a full sized refrigerator, a microwave, sink, and cabinets.  Rooms are equipped with a bed, dresser, desk, bookcase, cable TV connection, high-speed internet connection and local phone service.  Full kitchens, including a stove, cook-top, refrigerator, sink, pizza ovens, etc. are located on every floor.  A compact laundry room can also be found on each floor.  The lower level of the building has a game/TV room and some small meeting rooms.  Red Cedar Hall is served by two elevators and is completely air conditioned.

You can get more information on-line at www.uwstout.edu/housing, by emailing us at housing@uwstout.edu, or by calling our office at 715-232-1121.  The weekly cost to stay on campus is $40 for double rooms, $50 for single rooms, and $60 for suite rooms.  If you are staying less than a week, nightly rates (with and without linens) are available.  To reserve a room, you can complete an on-line reservation form and submit it to our office or stop by the University Housing office in room 170 Price Commons.

Identification Cards

A Stout OneCard (student identification card) is issued to each student at no charge and signifies status as an active member of the UW-Stout community. It also serves as an official student identification card.

To obtain a Stout OneCard, the student must present a valid government issued photo ID card when they report to 160 Price Commons to have a photo taken.  The Stout OneCard will be sent directly to the student’s home address in a UW-Stout branded business size envelope. Once the card is received, it must be activated. Students can easily activate their Stout OneCard online.

During activation, preferences are selected for receiving financial refunds from the university.  In addition, students are offered a free MasterCard debit/checking account (not a credit card, there must be funds available for purchases) called the “OneAccount.”  The OneAccount may serve as a primary bank account allowing students to use their campus ID card to complete transactions anytime, anywhere a MasterCard is accepted.

Funds can be deposited into a Flexline account, which is an on-campus debit account that can be used to purchase meals, school supplies, clothing, tickets, postage, photo copies, resume printing, health services, parking permits, beverages and snacks. These funds remain active and usable while a student is actively enrolled. Flexline funds are for use on-campus only and cannot be used anywhere outside of the university.

Office hours are 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.  More information about the Stout OneCard, the OneAccount or the Flexline account, call 715/232-2887 (choose option 2).
