    Cable TV at Manhattan College

    Manhattan College has partnered with Apogee to provide traditional cable tv programming as well as an IPTV streaming service called Stream2.  You can watch live TV and sports on your computer, tablet, phone, Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon FireStick.

     

    How to set up your cable TV:

    Step 1: Disconnect and reconnect the cable cord (coaxial cable) from the tv and the outlet. Reverse the connections and MAKE SURE the connection is fully threaded and tight on both the tv and the outlet.

    Step 2: Rescan TV (Auto Scan). While TV configurations vary from model to model, in general TVs will need to have their input set to the “cable” or “antenna” option, and have their channels set to be auto-programmed or scanned in order to store all available channels.

Damages, Fees, and Fines

  • Damage Billing

    Our goal in Residence Life is to create a comfortable and appealing living environment for our residents to live in. 

    When vandalism and excessive damage occurs it impacts the entire community. As stated in the Housing Contract: 

    The Student is responsible for the condition of the assigned room and all furnishings beyond ordinary wear and tear. The Student may be charged for damages to the common areas in the public spaces. The following terms and conditions apply to Student’s liability:

    Students shall have equal rights to the use of common spaces and agree to use all common areas in a prudent, inoffensive and non-dangerous manner and in compliance with the community policies and will respect the rights of other students in such areas. These facilities include, but are not limited to, apartment living rooms, balconies, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and community rooms. ORL may impose restrictions on the use of common areas, as deemed appropriate.

    Information regarding specific billing information can be found in the Damage Billing Table. Fees will be assessed based on these rates for the 2023-2024 academic year.
