What does it mean to be “eligible to
participate?”
To ensure that you are eligible to participate in the Room
Selection Process, you need to meet all of the deadlines and
requirements outlined in this packet. Being eligible means
that you have completed the outlined steps and are academically and
judicially qualified for possible participation room selection
process. This does NOT guarantee you a space on the day of
Room Selection.
How will my financial aid be affected if I
am not selected for on campus housing?
For those residents who are eligible but not selected to
participate in the room selection process, the University will make
every effort to maintain their present level of University aid.
Presidential Scholars and athletes who were packaged to include
on-campus housing will have that agreement honored regardless of
class status.
Do I get my deposit back?
If you are not selected to take part in the selection process, you
will receive your housing deposit back by May 1st, 2008.
I am a Presidential Scholar/Clare Booth
Luce Scholar, have a full scholarship as an athlete (tuition AND
room/board) or as an ROTC member, and/or am participating in the
“Discover the World” program. How does this process work for
me?
You must submit the $500 housing deposit and Room/Roommate(s)
Request Form by the deadlines outlined. Additionally, all students
in the abovementioned groups will be subject to the GPA/judicial
review. Every effort will be made to secure a spot for those
resident students who fall into the above four categories, but
demand will ultimately dictate the outcome and roommate requests
may be affected.
My requested roommate is in one of the
categories listed in the above question. Does that mean I will get
selected to participate automatically?
No. If your requested roommate is in one of those above categories,
it is possible that they will be selected to participate in room
selection and you will not.
Does the date when I pay my deposit
matter?
The date you pay your deposit does not matter as long as you have
paid your housing deposit by the March 7th, 2008 deadline and/or
turned in your roommate form by the March 25th, 2008 deadline.
How do I apply for a single
room?

that on the Room/Roommate(s) Request Form due to the Office of
Residence Life (Donovan C-16), no later than Tuesday, March 25th,
2008, at 4:30 p.m., as well as submit the housing deposit.
Will there be any preview nights to see
floor plans before room selection?

letting residents know who has been selected to participate in room
selection. Preview nights are designed for residents to view
the floor plans and see what rooms are available. If you are
selected, come with your requested roommates to see what rooms
interest you for room selection. There will be Residence Life Staff
members present to answer any questions you may have about room
selection. Location and time will be announced.
