Refrigerator & Microwave Rentals

MicrowaveFridge

Mini Fridge & Microwave Rentals

Refrigerators and microwaves can be rented from University Housing or students may bring their own refrigerators as long as fridges are 6 cubic feet or less in size and 1000 watts or less.  Microwaves mst also be 1000 watts or less. 


Our refrigerators are standard size “mini-fridges”.  Microwaves are 700 watt standard microwaves.  We offer the convenience of picking up these on move-in day and offer a lower rental cost than the price of a new refrigerator or microwave purchased in-store!   Fridges and microwaves are used which means there are some scratches/imperfections.  Majority of fridges are fridges only (no freezer space).

You can rent the units together or just one or the other!


These are for pick-up on move-in day.  They will not be placed in rooms already.

 

Costs:

Mini-Fridges:  For a yearly rental is $70 including $20 deposit which is returned at the end of year upon return of the refrigerator.

Microwaves:  For a yearly rental, it is $35 including $15 deposit which is returned at the end of the year upon return of the microwave. 

 

Fridge/Microwave Rental Form*


*If renting during the semester and the form is closed, please email housing@ucmo.edu as students can rental after term sessions begin.

  • Using a loft kit will allow you to raise a bed and place belongings (desk, chair, refrigerator) below.

Safe Purchases

Safe

Keep your valuables secure

We believe in a strong sense of safety and security of our students and their belongings.  Though we believe we have a safe campus, issues can happen.

  • Having a personal safe helps students as well as families feel their valued possessions stay secured. 
  • Safes purchased through College Products provide key or card (debit, credit, student ID, etc.) entry for their safes which can hold laptops, keys, IDs, money, and other valuables. 
  • The safes can be tethered to beds, shelves, etc. to make sure they don't walk away. 
  • Safes are DELIVERED to your room prior to move-in!

Safes are purchases (you own them!) and not rentals so be sure to take it with you at the end of the year!
