The university requires all freshman and sophomore undergraduate students to live in campus housing.  As is the case on most residential campuses, on-campus housing for junior and senior students is not automatically guaranteed.  During the Spring semester, a lottery is conducted where interested junior and senior students may select housing from available rooms for the next academic year.  Housing Services (HS) also offers guidance to upperclassmen seeking off-campus residence.

Eligibility

Participants in the Junior/Senior Lottery who were not able to select a space or eligible participants who did not submit their Intent Form and housing prepayment by the deadline are eligible for the Non-Guaranteed Wait List; however, an assignment is not guaranteed. 

Specifics

Undergraduate students who are not guaranteed housing, but do want to live on campus next year should keep in mind the following:

• First-time Freshman and rising Sophmores are required to live on-campus and will be assigned spaces before other students. 
• Eligibility for the Non-Guaranteed Wait List is based upon submission of the Non-guaranteed Wait List Application.  This Application should be received by March 25, 2008 for priority by lottery number; those received after March 25th and before May 2nd will be prioitized by date received.
• In order to be offered a space, a housing prepayment of $500 should be on your student account.  Should you decide to withdraw your Wait List Application before an assignment has been made, you may request a refund of the deposit.
• If you have not already done so, you will be required to sign your Residence Hall and Dining Services Agreement at the time you submit the Non-Guaranteed Wait List Application.
• An assignment will be made using the preferences listed on the Application. However, it is possible that an assignment may not be available within those preferences.  Students will receive 3 business days in which to accept the offered space.  If they do not accept the space offered, they will have the opportunity to receive a second offer when another space becomes available.  If they decline the second offer, they will be removed from the Wait List.
• Should you wish to cancel your assignment, you will need to do so in accordance with the cancellation policy listed on your Agreement; you will be charged the $500 Housing Cancellation Fee.
• Throughout the summer assignments will be made on a space available basis and students are not guaranteed a space.  HS has provided additional resources regarding off campus housing resources.
• Undergraduate students who were not eligible to participate in Room Selection should submit the Residence Hall and Dining Services Application and the $500 housing deposit to HS. Should a space become available after students on the Guaranteed Wait List and Non-Guaranteed Wait List have been assigned, you will be assigned a space based upon the date your application was received.
