General Housing Questions
If you have any questions that are non-emergency, we recommend reaching out to the MIAD Housing staff at housing@miad.edu.
They will be equipped to answer any questions you may have.
Resident Assistants (RA's) on Duty
Resident Assistants (RAs) are live-in student leaders who will help you get settled into campus life, host events, and check-in with you one-on-one and as a group throughout your college dorm life. RAs typically live on the same floor as their residents, which allows them to build strong relationships and create a sense of community among the residents.
RAs serve as your first point of contact for questions or concerns about your living situation, campus life, or academic pursuits. RAs are trained to handle a variety of situations and can provide guidance and resources on topics ranging from roommate conflicts and homesickness to campus involvement and mental health support.
RAs are on duty every day from 7 pm to 7 am. They monitor what is happening in our communities and respond to emergencies as they come up.

1. Turn the water off - The toilet shut-off valve can be found behind the toilet on the back wall.
b. Turn it clockwise to the closed position. A good way to tell is if the handle is perpendicular like a + then it is closed. If it is vertical (following the direction of the pipe) then it is open.
2. Check the water level.
a. If the water level is close to overflowing – wait for the water to lower before attempting the next step.
b. If the water level is standard water level (about halfway), you can continue to the next step.
3. Place the rubber end of the plunger in the toilet making sure it creates a tight seal around the drain opening
4. Push down on the plunger firmly and evenly and then pull up quickly but keep the rubber end in the water so you don’t splash.
5. Repeat this motion several times making sure the rubber end is sealed firmly against the drain.
6. If it is persistent, flush the toilet while performing this motion for extra suction.
If the water has gone down, flush the toilet a few more times afterwards to ensure the clog is completely cleared.
