Housekeeping Transitions to Summer Schedule
After commencement, The Budd Group’s housekeeping unit will be transitioning to its summer schedule to be able to focus on deep cleaning residence halls and attacking key annual projects across campus.
This means that there will be reduced frequency of general cleaning in administrative, faculty and classroom spaces. Please be assured that trash removal and bathroom cleaning will remain on its current schedule but tasks such as dusting, vacuuming, etc. will be occurring less frequently.
That being said, if you have an issue that needs to be addressed, please be sure to enter a maintenance request and either Maintenance or Housekeeping will ensure it is taken care of quickly for you!

Why did you choose Averett’s GPS program?
“I chose Averett’s Graduate and Professional Studies Program because the program was completely online and flexible. The teachers and mentors were involved with my learning immediately and reassured me that I would be successful, even though the program was a large undertaking.”
