Welcome To Other Important Information
If you cannot attend your Retain Your Room or Select New Room appointment due to a scheduling conflict, you may have another student select your space during your contract time if you have completed an Absentee Room Selection Form. This form must be presented at your contract time appointment by the individual selecting your housing or returned to the Housing & Residence Life Office prior to your appointment. If you select this option, it will be necessary for you to sign a Housing Confirmation/Contract in the Student Life Office before May 14 to secure your housing assignment.
NOTE: Your proctor (who you have designated to select your space) will assume all responsibility for you. Absentee signatures will be checked when the Housing Lottery has concluded to verify authenticity. If this form is forged, disciplinary action will be taken. |
At this time, those individuals who didn't complete application materials by the published deadline may select housing beginning on May 7.
A sign-up sheet to select space May 7-14 will be available in the Student Life Office beginning on May 2. Excluded from selection during this time are all rooms previously selected during the Housing Lottery. These spaces will be assigned from the Summer Wait List only.
NOTE: If you select
your housing space during Late Sign-Ups remember to
bring all completed application materials and $100 Lottery Entrance
Fee with you. Also, all Housing Lottery policies and procedures
apply during this process. |
Room change requests: will not be accepted from May 15 through September 5 unless a Summer Wait List form is completed by the published deadline. Summer Wait List requests are null and void once check-in begins on Saturday, August 23.
Fall Housing Requested Over Summer:
Any returning student who is eligible to live off campus and who chooses not to select on-campus housing by May 14 and then seeks it after May 14, may not be given confirmation of availability until August.
If you did not receive your preferred assignment, the wait list gives you the opportunity to be considered for future vacancies in the residence halls, Vandervelden Court and Burlingham Hall.
