Yes. At New Student Orientation during the summer, student rooms will be available for viewing in Grant Towers, Stevenson Towers, and Neptune Hall.
Both new and continuing students have the opportunity to use a on-line program to select their own room. New students who have already completed the application process will be sent a letter late in the Spring semester to confirm their room selection time and the process. Each student with an active application is assigned a lottery number that will identify the day(s) on which they may go on-line to select a room. Students may select a room on their lottery day or any date after that during which the on-line option is still available. New students who apply for Housing after the beginning of April, will have about 1 week between the time they complete the application process and the time they will be sent notification that they are authorized to go back on line to select their room. Once notified that their application is active the student will have 30 days to complete room selection After 30 days any student who has not completed room selection will be administratively assigned to a room based on space available at that time.
Specific roommate information will be forwarded to all residents for Fall semester approximately two to three weeks prior to the start of the semester. If this information is different than the roommate information that was on you initial room assignment confirmation, it means your original roommate has canceled their contract or requested a room change since that time. The final information will contain the specific residence hall room assignment, telephone number for that room, as well as your roommate’s name and home address. At that time, you may contact your new roommate to introduce yourself. Because space is limited, it is a good idea to discuss what each roommate plans to bring, so you don’t end up with two televisions, two stereos, etc. Roommate information for the spring semester is included with the housing information.
Should you desire a room change, you will have the opportunity to do so after the first ten days of the semester, or after all residents in interim housing have been accommodated in permanent assignments. At that time, should you want to change rooms or discuss a living situation that is causing you concern, you should talk with your Community Advisor. He/she will advise you how to proceed, depending upon your specific situation.
A limited number of single rooms or double-as-single rooms are available in all halls. Students are eligible to live in that building. Example: Stevenson A tower is a building restricted to upperclassmen. Freshmen are not authorized to live in that hall, so they can not sign up for singles there. Stevenson C tower is open to all students, so returning students, transfers and new freshmen are all authorized to sign up for single rooms that are available there.
All single students classified as freshmen (under 30 hours of college credit) who will not have reached their 21st birthday by September 1 and are not residing with their parents or legal guardians, must live in University residence halls as long as space is available. If students required to live on campus do not apply for housing and select a room, they can be charged for the full room rate.
When selecting your room on line coordinate with your preferred roommate to select a room for both of you at the same time. One person will need to acquire the preferred roommate's registration information and select the room for both roommates.
