Learn how to sign up for a room in the residence halls!
2008-2009 Academic Year
Beginning in mid-February, Residence Hall Application-Contracts (room and meals) are mailed to students newly admitted for fall. After that time, application-contracts are mailed within two weeks after a student's admittance. The student is to submit the application-contract in the return envelope to the Student Accounts office with the $300 deposit.
Although there is no deadline for returning the application-contract, there is a May 1 preferred filing date. For optimum assurance of receiving a room, your housing and dining application-contract must be postmarked by May 1. Application-contracts are accepted on a "first-come, first-served" basis and admission to the University is not a guarantee of housing. This is a full-year contract.
But how do I tell you where I want to live?
In mid-May, new students who submitted a residence hall contract are
mailed instructions containing a Room Selection Code and a "Web
date." This "Web date" is the date
you will first be allowed to enter the Room
Selection process to select
your room online. Your Room Selection Code along with your University
Log-in Identification (ULID) are your keys to entering the web-based
room selection program. You may enter the Room Selection process on
or after your "Web date" to
select a room or to make a change. The process is available 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday. The room selection process is not available on Sundays. Please visit the Room Selection page
to get more in depth information or to see how the process works.
Even though the majority of new students will get to select their own room on-line, some students whose contracts are received after a yet-to-be-determined date (based on space availability) will be asked to submit their preferences for an assignment using the online Room Preference Form. University Housing staff will then make those room assignments based on the preferences submitted and the spaces available.
Important: If you are a new beginning freshman (never enrolled in a college or university since high school), you are required to submit the Enrollment Confirmation and Deposit by the deadline of May 1. This deposit is a separate fee from the $300 initial housing payment. Enrollment Confirmation and Deposit information is mailed to admitted new beginning freshmen in late January and on a rolling basis to students admitted after that date. You can learn more about the Enrollment Confirmation and Deposit and how to pay the fee by visiting the Enrollment Management and Academic Services web site.
Spring Semester
Beginning in early November, Residence Hall Application-Contracts (room and meals) are mailed to newly-admitted students for the spring. After that time, application-contracts are mailed within two weeks after a student's admittance. The student is to submit the application-contract in the return envelope to the Student Accounts office with the $300 deposit. Once the contract is received, students are sent information regarding going online to fill out a Room Preference Form. University Housing staff will then make the room assignments based on the preferences submitted and the spaces available. Room assignments for new spring residence hall students are mailed approximately one week prior to move-in.
Summer Housing
Beginning early April, Summer Housing Application-Contracts are mailed upon request.
