Note: URHome uses residence hall registration information to approve device connections.  Devices will only connect successfully in the residence hall a student is registered in.  Corrections to student’s housing assignments must be completed by the University Residences Central Assignment Office by calling 765-494-1000 or emailing housing@purdue.edu.
