Laundry & Linens
Doing your laundry on campus
Free laundry facilities can be found in each residence hall, though you need provide your own laundry cleaners. Only current residential students are permitted to do their laundry in a residence hall. Students should be mindful to not overload machines and to use proper settings to wash and dry their belongings based on the instruction list on each items tag. Students are expected to retrieve their clothes promptly so that others may use the machines; laundry left unattended in the laundry room may be considered abandoned and will be discarded or donated. All machines are high efficiency (HE) and so HE detergent is needed. HE detergents will have a small blue and white HE symbol on the packaging.
To report a broken machine, call Facility Services at 319.895.4299 from 8 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. After hours emergencies can be reported to Campus Safety at 319.895.4299 (or x4299 from an on-campus telephone). You can also submit an online request for repair through the Facilities work order system.
Laundry machines are to be used at a student's own risk. The college is not liable for damage to items left in the laundry machines. Any missing items should first be reported to the building's Resident Assistant staff. Abandoned laundry may be collected and stored in the Resident Assistant office so machines become available for others. If items are not found, students should contact Campus Safety to file a possible theft incident.
Bedding and linens
Mattresses on campus are 36" by 80". They're sometimes referred to as "extra-long mattresses." Please make sure that you check the measurements of the sheets before purchasing them.
