What are the room assignment procedures?
Every effort is made to honor the preferences marked on the Contract Acceptance Form. However, it is not possible to guarantee that each request will be met. The following procedures will be used. Returning students (current residence hall students) are given first priority to sign up for fall housing accommodations during a special spring semester sign-up period. New residents (incoming freshman, transfer, re-admits, continuing students not currently on campus and those continuing students who failed to apply for a room during the sign up period) are assigned to the remaining spaces based on: date the completed Contract Acceptance Form and deposit is received by the Office of Residence Life, roommate preference (requests must be mutual to be considered), and then hall preference.
Students are housed in available accommodations on a first-come, first-served basis. They are matched to roommates, communities, and living units by a computer software package designed especially for this process. Because this is a computerized process, it is very important that the data on the Preference Sheet be thoroughly completed. The data from this form will be analyzed to determine the best assignment “fit” based on your preferences, available space, and the date your Argeement was received.
