Apartment Cooking
Most kitchen appliances, including microwave ovens, are allowed in apartment kitchens, such as George Foreman Grills®, Panini presses, air fryers, slow cookers/crockpots, and toasters (not toaster ovens).
Residence Hall Cooking
Residence hall electrical capacity can be limited and overloading them can cause fire hazards, so residents are encouraged to use hall kitchen areas. Appliances with exposed heating elements (electric woks, Hibachi grills, camping stoves, toasters, toaster ovens, griddles, air fryer, etc) are not permitted. In your room, only single-unit appliances with sealed heating elements with an automatic shutoff (coffee makers, electric kettles, etc.) are allowed.
Microwave ovens are provided in hall kitchens. All cooking appliances must be plugged directly into wall outlets; extension cords and surge protectors should not be used with these items.
MicroFridges
You may keep a refrigerator in your room if it is no larger than 3.6 cubic feet, however microwaves are only permitted through a combination MicroFridge multi-appliance that is available for rent. This unit includes a microwave (the only microwave allowed in residence halls or suites), a refrigerator, and a zero-degree freezer. If you are interested in renting a MicroFridge, just go online to Collegiate Concepts for more information or to place an order. Orders placed by the advertised deadline date will be delivered to your room before the scheduled move-in date. Refrigerators must be plugged directly into wall outlets.
