Clairmont FAQs and Kitchen Gardens Program Time Change

Hi Everyone!

First, just a quick heads up that our kitchen gardens program, which was originally scheduled for tonight, has been re-scheduled for June 6th at 7PM.

I also wanted to take a minute to answer a few commonly asked questions, which will hopefully make your time here at Clairmont both easier and a bit more enjoyable.

Trash: I know there has been some confusion about where trash is located. Trash chutes are available in the parking decks. Please bring your trash here so that it can be removed by our facilities staff quickly. It will also help us to keep down on critters, which seem to multiply quickly in the summer months!

Lockouts: If you get locked out, you should follow these simple steps, which will get you in contact with the Clairmont On Call Staff in the quickest manner
  1. Call 404-686-5500
  2. It will prompt you for the Page ID Number. Enter: 18879
  3. Enter your phone number (xxx-xxx-xxxx)

The on-call staff will call you back within 10 minutes. Also, you can use your key to unlock your bedroom door permanently, if you wish!

Programs: We’ll have programs each week! Keep your eyes open for some flyers that will be coming around. Here are some of our upcoming programs:

                Smoothie Making: June 5th at 7PM, SAAC Lobby
                Kitchen Garden (Plant Herbs in Mini Pots for Your Apartment): June 6th at 7PM, SAAC Lobby
                Open Hours at Colleen’s Apartment: June 11th 8-10 PM, Apartment BP03

Quiet Hours:  A quick reminder that quiet hours begin at Midnight Sunday-Thursday, and at 1AM on Friday and Saturday. Courteousy hours are in effect outside of those hours. Please be respectful of your neighbors!

Summer School Programming

Hi Everyone!

Summer is getting into full swing, and the humidity seems to be here to stay. We had a great time last week at our opening barbecue (there will be pictures posted soon), and we hope to see you at our next barbecue- details on that coming soon.

Our next program is happening tomorrow at 7PM in the SAAC. We'll have pots and soil available so that you can plant your very own kitchen garden. We hope to see you there!

Our new blog!





Welcome to the brand new Clairmont Campus Blog!

We will use this blog to share community news, introduce staff, and promote events.  Keep this in your regular list of must reads!  We will also be looking for your feedback on various items through polls that we post on the page, and may even ask for guest contributors!  

For the first post, I wanted to share some community information. 

  • Clairmont Community Office is located in HP01. This is on the diving board side of the pool. It is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm.  The office will be closed for Memorial Day.
  • There is an on-call staff member available from 8pm-8am every night.  To reach the on-call staff:
    • Dial 404-686-5500
    • Listen to instructions, enter pager ID number 188779.
    • Then dial your call back number.
    • Wait for a call from the staff member.
  • The Parking Office is located in the Starvine Deck by the shuttle stops. You will need to stop in there to get a parking pass.

In case of emergencies, you can call the Emory Police Department at 404-727-8005.

And last but not least, a big welcome to all of our summer school students!
