• Housing Lottery Booklet

The New Student Housing Application Process:  

Housing deposit

All students are required to pay a $100.00 housing deposit for each academic year they plan to live on campus. Housing deposits are applied to the students account after the start of the semester. Housing deposits are only refundable when a request is submitted to the Office of Residence life via email, fax or written notification by July 1 ^st of the academic year enrolled or within 30 days of receipt, which ever is later. Deposits paid for the fall semester in any given year may be rolled to the following spring semester only.

Residence Hall Contract and Request Form

The Residence Life Contract is required from all students living on campus. It is a legal contract that is binding for the entire academic year as stated on the form.

Freshman / Transfer / Re-admitted students:  

Receipt of the tuition/housing deposit initiates a mailing that contains the Residence Life Hall Contract and Request form in addition to other paperwork. This form should be filled out and returned within 2 weeks of receipt. The Residence Hall Contract and Request Form gathers information that will be instrumental in determining housing assignments. The types of information requested gives you the opportunity to:

• Indicate your preference of a residence hall by ranking them on a scale of 1 to 5. You will also be able to indicate any preferences in living environments, in the order of most importance with 1 being the highest. Please remember that you need to be enrolled in the major of the living environment in question.
  
• Request a roommate. There is a section on the back of the Residence Life Contract and Request Form to complete for roommate requests, the deadline is June 1 ^st. Roommate requests will only be considered if both (or all) individuals have requested each other by the deadline. Late requests will only be considered without regard to housing preferences of either party.
  
• Give honest answers to your lifestyle that can have an impact on your residential and academic success (ie; sleep patterns, study habits, room cleanliness). We highly suggest that the student fills out this section by themselves.

Notification Process

Room notifications for all students are mailed at the end of July for arrival at your home address during the first week of August for Fall semester. Spring semester notifications are mailed at the beginning of the second week in January.

All students will receive in their notification mailing: their housing assignment, arrival information, roommate name and contact information, items not allowed in residence halls and suggested items to bring, room and window measurements, fire and theft insurance info.

Freshman and transfer students will also receive information on the following: Telephone and long distance services, Resnet (wireless internet service), Traffic control card, and traffic, unloading and parking directions for move-in.

Special Notes

Housing deposit refunds – Any students that will not be living on campus may have their housing deposits refunded  when submitted to the Office of Residence life via Email, Fax or written notification by July 1 ^st of the academic year enrolled or within 30 days of receipt, which ever is later. Deposits paid for the fall semester in any given year may be rolled to the following spring semester only.

Room Reservations – will be held no longer than 24 hours after the first day of classes each semester. Students who do not check into their assigned residence hall on time will forfeit deposit, their hall assignment, and roommate assignment. Students who anticipate or experience an arrival problem should make contact with the Office of Residence Life to make special arrangements to have this date extended.
