Returning residence hall students
First-year students and students not currently living on campus
What if I'm placed on a wait list?
My room type is listed as “Temporary”, what does
this mean?
Returning residence hall students:
Students who are currently living on campus and have completed a
Returning Student Housing Agreement will receive their housing assignments
in late March or early April. The assignment notification, which
serves as the billing invoice for the term, will be mailed to the
students' campus post-office box (U-box). This is the only billing
statement that students will receive for the Fall Term. Students
will receive a billing invoice for the Spring term in November, also
in their campus post office box.
Note: Returning residence hall students who sign their renewal agreement
after the first round of assignments has been completed will receive
their assignment at a later time.

First-year students and students not currently living on
campus:
Students who are applying for housing for the first time or returning
to campus housing after having lived off-campus for at least one
semester will be notified of their housing assignments beginning
in June. The assignment notifications also serve as the billing invoice
for the term. This is the only billing statement that students will
received for the Fall term. Students will receive a billing invoice
for the Spring term in November at their campus post-office box (U-box).

What if I'm placed on a wait list?
In some instances, students who are very late housing applicants
may be placed on a wait list for campus housing. While this can be
concerning for them, the wait list is not necessarily an indication
that they will not receive housing on campus. Historically, a number
of students who have signed Housing Agreements will make decisions
throughout the summer to cancel their admission or attend another
institution, thus opening up spaces for students on the housing wait
list. University Housing will carefully consider trends from previous
years and will communicate with wait-listed students throughout the
summer with status updates. In the event that cancellations are not
occurring as expected and we are NOT able to offer housing to certain
students, we will communicate that information in writing by mid-July. NOTE:
Placement on the wait list does not remove obligation to the Housing
Agreement.

My room type is listed as “Temporary”, what does this mean?
A temporary room assignment may be thought of as a mid-point between
the housing wait list and a regular permanent room assignment. Temporary
rooms are rooms within the residence halls that are usually used for
study lounges or common areas that have been converted to student rooms.
They are equipped with locking doors, beds, clothes hanging and dresser
space, desks, and internet access. Some even have kitchens. As permanent
spaces become available through admissions cancellations, etc., students
in temporary rooms are assigned to those spaces in priority number
order. While it is possible that a few students might remain in a temporary
room for a longer period of time, most students initially assigned
to a temporary space are reassigned to permanent rooms before hall
move-in occurs. NOTE: Assignment to a temporary room does not remove
obligation to the Housing Agreement.
