Housing Assignments for New/Incoming Students

Housing Assignments for NEW/INCOMING STUDENTS
(freshmen/first year, transfers, re-admitted)

Student housing assignments are done through an online process. After paying the Housing Deposit, new students will be sent a new student information brochure regarding when and how to log-on to the system. Through "myHousing," students will indicate their preferences ("Student Requests") for housing and roommates (if applicable). New student housing assignments are made based on the information provided through myHousing.

Although entering students (freshmen/first year, transfers, re-admitted) are given no guarantee of assignment to a specific building or room, every attempt is made to honor students' first or second preferences. Also, the Office of Residence Life and Housing will attempt to honor roommate requests when all students involved have mutually agreed in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the upcoming semester's first day of classes. The College will assign roommates for students who do not express roommate preferences. In general, incoming students are assigned rooms based on the date their Housing Deposit is received by the College. The College does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, or affectional orientation in those assignments.
