MicroFridge Units

The Department of Residence Life offers MicroFridge rentals!

What exactly is a MicroFridge?

• The MicroFridge package is comprised of a refrigerator/freezer combo (2.9 cu. ft.) and a microwave attached to the top.

How much is it?

• The rental fee for a Microfridge Unit is a one-time payment of $150.  The entire amount will be charged to ONE resident's account - it is up to the other residents of the room to reimburse the resident assessed the charge.  The unit is yours for the entire year!

Where do I sign up?

• To sign up for a rental, simply stop by our office in Missouri 1100 and sign the rental agreement on the back of the housing contract. You can also contact our office at (800) 892-7792 {(660) 785-4227 outside Missouri} for more information. The unit will be in your room chilled and ready for use upon arrival on campus.

What if something doesn't work?

• Maintenance is definitely not a worry. If a problem arises, simply complete the MicroFridge Maintenance Request and we will replace any faulty units within two working days.

How many of these can my roommates and I have?

• 1- and 2-person rooms are allowed one (1) unit per room

• 3- and 4- person rooms are allowed up to two (2) units per room

• In West Campus Suites, only one (1) unit is allowed in each room - two (2) per suite.  You cannot have two people in the same room reserve two MicroFridges.

What if I move rooms during the year?

• If you have the MicroFridge contracted in your name, then the unit can come with you when you move Residence Hall rooms.  If you find out you really don't need it where you're moving to, you can transfer the unit from your name to your roommate's. 

• NOTICE: The charge from Residence Life WILL NOT be taken off of your student account - reimbursement will have to be mutually agreed upon by you and your roommates.

What do I do with the MicroFridge when I'm ready to check out for the summer?

• Don't worry - your Student Advisor will give it a once-over when you check-out of your room!  Just make sure that it is completely defrosted and cleaned thoroughly before you say you're ready to check-out or you could be charged a $25 cleaning fee.

You break it you buy it!

• Remember to take care of your MicroFridge unit - general maintenance of the unit will keep it running for many years to come!

• When you sign your MicroFridge contract, you're promising to reimburse Truman State University for any and all loss or damage to the units from any cause whatsoever.  The cost to replace one of these units is $520.00.

**Small refrigerators (2'x3'x2') are permitted in all housing facilities.
