Frequently Asked Questions

There are countless ways for your son or daughter to get involved on campus through student organizations, student activities, intramurals, Open Recreation program, ministries, as well as various leadership roles. Belhaven offers over 25 student organizations (service, academic, ministries).

Belhaven Activities Team (BAT) is a group of students that serve the campus by planning and implementing a wide variety of student activities. Students can get involved, serve in leadership roles and be a part of the leadership staff by working in the intramural or Open Rec programs. Participating is also a way to get plugged in on campus.

Campus ministries meet once a week. There are also other prayer and outreach gatherings throughout the semester.

A list of all student organizations, activities, Open Rec hours and intramural schedules can be found on the Student Development page.

Each student is assigned a mail box number during Welcome Week. All residential students are assigned a box that they are expected to check regularly. If mail is sent to a student without the box number, it will be delivered to the student's box, but may be delayed. Mail Services encourages the use of the student's box number to expedite delivery.

Please address mail to your student in this form:

New students (including transfer students) are required to complete an electronic housing application. There is a required $100.00 housing deposit which is maintained until the student leaves the university (i.e.. graduation, off-campus housing, transfer to another school, etc.). Students already living on campus during the fall semester do not need to do anything to reserve their room for the spring.

In April, all returning students are asked to attend Squatter's Rights/Room Draw to secure their room for the next school term. A $100.00 housing reservation is required to reserve the room and when the fall semester begins the reservation fee is credited to the students account.

Students may remain on campus during all scheduled breaks except Christmas. Students may leave their personal items in their room during Christmas, but must remove everything during the summer vacation.

Your son or daughter will need to complete the enrollment verification form.
