Residence Life is offering three information sessions. We highly encourage you to attend an information session to ensure that you are aware of important dates and feel best informed throughout the process.

 

Information Sessions:

• Virtual Session - January 19, 6pm on Zoom Did you miss the information session? Watch it here!
• WTC Session - January 24, 6pm Corboy Law Center 206 
• LSC Session - February 1, 6pm McCormick Lounge, Coffey Hall

 

Anyone who attends an upcoming Info Session will be subject to win a PRIORITY Lottery Number for Reapplication! There will be 5 awarded at each Info Session. You are welcome to attend more than one session, but your name will only be entered into the lottery number raffle once.

 

While we encourage you to attend one of the above information sessions, we recognize that your schedule may not allow for it. With that being the case, the recording of the virtual session can be found here. This will allow you to access the same information at any time throughout the Reapplication period.

 

We will also be hosting Extended Office Hours in the Residence Life office (Simpson 107) every Monday and Wednesday from 5-7pm throughout February, so you are welcome to stop by and ask any questions you may have.

 

 

Questions? Stop by or call our office in Simpson Hall.

When submitting your application, you also agree to the terms of the Student Housing Agreement. The 2023-2024 Student Housing Agreement will be available soon on our website and can be reviewed within the Housing Application.

 

The 2022-2023 contract is also available on our website. Included below is information to help you understand the terms of the 2022-2023 contract. This information will be updated soon with language from the 23-24 Student Housing Agreement.

 

• Continuing students not enrolled as full-time students on or before July 1, 2022 for fall semester, or December 31, 2022 for spring semester may have their Student Housing Agreement canceled and their space reassigned.
• Except as otherwise provided by University policy, once the Student has checked in to his or her room, the Student is liable for the applicable room rate for the remainder of the academic year following check in, regardless of whether the Student remains in the residence halls for that period of time.
• In the event the Student is removed from the residence halls for student conduct and/or disciplinary reasons, the Student will remain fully responsible for all room and board charges and fees for the remainder of the academic year following removal.

Once you have signed the Housing Contract...

...you will not be released if you later decide to live off-campus.

...you will not be released if you are unhappy with your room assignment.

...you will not be released if you also sign a lease off-campus.

 

The complete terms of the Housing Contract are available on our website.

You should explore all of your housing options before making a final decision.

 

In order to participate in Room Selection, you must submit your Application and $500.00 Prepayment by February 13, 2023 at 12PM (noon). If you are financially unable to submit a prepayment, you may request a Prepayment Waiver (please see below).

 

The application/contract will be available on the Residence Life Portal in LOCUS beginning on January 30, 2023 (the application will launch mid-day). Read the application and contract carefully and be sure to complete all steps.

 

 

The Prepayment confirms your intent to live on campus. Prepayments must be submitted through the link provided on the Residence Life Portal in LOCUS. Your Application must be submitted before the Prepayment.

Prepayments only apply to fall housing charges, which will be reflected on July eBills.

 

Prepayment Waiver Requests may be submitted through the Residence Life Portal in LOCUS beginning on January 30, 2023. Your Application must be submitted before your Prepayment Waiver Request. Prepayment Waiver Requests must be submitted by February 8, to receive a decision before the February 13, Housing Application deadline.

 

Please note that approval of waivers is based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) listed on your FAFSA. Not all waivers are granted; if you submit your request by the deadline and it is denied, you may still be permitted to participate in Room Selection provided that you pay the prepayment as instructed. If you submit a prepayment and are later approved for a waiver, your prepayment will not be refunded; it will be applied as a credit to your fall housing charges on your July eBill.
