Is there security on-campus?
Campus security officers are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are available to offer escort services, motorist assistance, and assistance with criminal investigations. The officers carry telephones/radios on which they can be contacted at any time, and emergency "blue light" phones are located around campus as well. The Campus Security Office also coordinates all aspects of parking and car registration, issues parking permits, and issues student ID cards. For more information about on-campus security please contact The Director of Security at 919-508-2402 or visit our security site for more information.
Will the college accommodate special service needs such as diet, medications, psychological counseling, etc.?
Requests for special student services may be made to the Dean of Students. Peace College does have student health services and a counseling center. For more information please click here to download the Peace College Disability Resource Center brochure.
What is a Pacer Card?
The Pacer Card is a multi-purpose card that is offered to students, faculty, and staff. Apart from being your official form of identification, the card will be used for building access, library services, dining meal plans and making purchases at vending machines and the bookstore. Students, faculty and staff members will transfer money onto their cards, thus reducing the need to carry cash while on campus and adding convenient access to most campus services.
What recreation/Fitness Facilities are available to students?
Students have access to Peace's six all-weather Laykold tennis courts, a softball field, indoor basketball court, a weight and exercise room located in the basement of Ross Hall, an indoor swimming pool, and a dance studio. These facilities are used for leisure time activities, as well as for organized intramurals, physical education courses, and team athletic events.
Are there laundry facilities located on-campus?
Washers and dryers are available for student use in several of the residence halls on campus. The laundry facilities are free of cost to those students who live on-campus and attend Peace College.

How are first-year room assignments made?
Several items are considered before first-year housing assignments are made. These items are the following:
- Deposit Date- Applications are sorted by deposit date and housed accordingly to their preferences requested. Those that deposit after May 1st will be based on the remaining space available.
- Space Available- The number of spots available in each hall is determined by how many upper class students have previously selected their rooms.
- Pairing Roommates- If students do not request a roommate on the housing application form, students are assigned roommates based on their answers to the questions on the housing application form. Some of the most important questions to answer on the housing application form are cleaning habits, sleeping schedule, and smoking preference. Additionally, if students request a roommate, this request will generally override their housing preference request. We will make every effort to house them according to their housing preference and roommate request, but if we are unable to do both, we will work hard to house them with the roommate they requested on the housing application form.
- We try our best to accommodate all housing requests but we cannot guarantee that they will all be made due to deposit date, space available and paring roommates.
What can my daughter bring into the residence halls?
Students are allowed to bring carpet for their rooms; they may also bring plastic storage bins to keep extra things. Students may bring a refrigerator, but not a microwave or hot plate. They are allowed televisions, VCR's, DVD players, cordless phones and computers. There are two internet connections and two phone connections in each of the residence hall rooms. Cable television is accessible in all of the residence hall rooms.
Do all students have roommates?
Every first-year student has a roommate. Larger suites are available to a select number of students who are selected from among juniors and senior every year.
How are the first- year residence hall rooms set-up?
All double occupancy rooms include two beds, two desks, two dressers and two closets. Ross and Davidson are the most popular first-year residence halls on campus. Both residence halls feature suite style arrangements (two bedrooms that share an adjoining bathroom).
Do students have to live on campus?
All students are required to live on campus until they achieve "junior" status by credit hours. Those students that are living with parents within a 30-mile radius, have dependents, or are married, are not required to live on campus. Regardless, a Housing Exemption Form must be filled out and approved by administration in order to qualify for off-campus resident status.
