Every effort will be made to accomodate any work order that presents a priority to you.
Reporting Maintenance
Please call the WMU Apartments Office with all requests for maintenance between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. weekdays. If maintenance emergencies occur after 5:00 p.m. during the week or on weekends and university holidays, please call the WMU Department of Safety at 387-5555.
Emergency
Typical response time is within 4 hours. An emergency is defined as a threat to the life/safety of apartment residents.
Examples include: electrical power failure affecting entire apartment, broken window glass, no heat, lock malfunction, etc.
Non-Emergency
Routine requests are defined as those things that need prompt attention, but do not pose an immediate life/safety threat to residents or facilities. Typical response time is about 5 days or one week. Periodically routine requests are backlogged due to the large number of requests received during the period when many new residents are moving out/in.
Report routine requests by calling the WMU Apartments Office during regular office hours or fill out a Maintenance Request Form online.
