Official sources, exact scope, and source-check dates—plus clear Verify states where an assignment still controls.
Adelphi’s current official moving-in page answers all ten planning topics. Residence-hall rooms provide Twin XL beds and the named furniture; personal refrigerators may be up to 4 cubic feet, separate microwaves are not allowed, and an approved MicroFridge is the stated combination option. The same page gives electrical, wall, furniture, shared-kitchen, assignment-dependent air-conditioning, Fall 2026 arrival, and resident-mail details.

Adelphi says each residence hall has a lounge kitchenette with an oven, range, microwave, and sink.
Adelphi delivers correctly addressed resident mail to the student mailbox; packages and oversized letters go to Post Hall, followed by an email with pickup instructions.
No current source-backed allowed-item rule is available. Absence here does not mean an item is allowed.
Adelphi’s Fall 2026 arrival process uses different dates for new and returning residents; early arrivals require an application and may have a fee, while late arrivals must check in with the RA to receive a key and confirm occupancy.
Adelphi prohibits extension cords and outlet extenders, permits surge protectors with an on/off switch, forbids daisy-chaining surge protectors, and requires refrigerators to plug directly into an outlet.
Adelphi does not allow residents to move lounge furniture into a room or exchange inventoried furniture between rooms.
Adelphi prohibits the named cooking and high-wattage equipment in residence-hall rooms, including appliances over 1,000 watts, except hair dryers.
Adelphi does not furnish room refrigerators, permits a personal refrigerator no larger than four cubic feet, prohibits a separate room microwave, and allows the approved MicroFridge option with an attached microwave.
Adelphi permits posters and picture frames only when walls remain in substantially the same condition, prohibits repainting, and does not allow tapestries or other cloth materials to hang in residence halls.
These topics depend on the assignment, need a newer source check, contain conflicting information, or are not clearly answered by the official source. Their scope and source stay visible without turning uncertainty into a rule.
Air conditioning in Adelphi residence-hall rooms depends on the assigned hall and room.
No hall-level or room-type record is currently supported. The source migration does distinguish these housing scopes, but it does not justify a separate hall page:

The guidance in this section is editorial advice, not an official housing rule.
Split one qualifying refrigerator or the approved MicroFridge with a roommate; do not bring a separate microwave or a refrigerator over 4 cubic feet.
Use a surge protector with an on/off switch, never daisy-chain it, and plug the refrigerator directly into the wall outlet.
Use the arrival category and room-number time on the current move-in page; apply for early arrival when needed and check in with the RA after the designated date.
