Got Cable ???
Please remember, Comcast/Xfinity includes the cable that goes from the cable box to your TV. They do not include the cable that goes from the cable box to the outlet. While it is the responsibility of the student to provide that cable, you may submit a work order requesting that cable. We sometimes pick up a few used ones from student rooms at the end of the year. If we have any, we are happy to provide it, but please understand these are extremely limited and usually gone quickly.
