The Assignment Process

Housing assignments are sent out continuously, starting in December.. As students cancel housing or are moved to other buildings on campus, we make additional assignments. Students who have not yet received their assignment can check with the Assignments Office, located in Scott Hall. Students are always welcome to use the Nyumba Student Gateway to check the status of their application, view assignments that have been made, and get information about their roommate(s), if any.

Housing assignments for incoming freshmen and transfer students are made according to the date that the Contract for Residential Services (or Online Housing Application) and deposit were received (the later of the two is used in the assignments process, as an application is not complete until both parts are received in our offices), using the spaces available after returning student placements are made.

Returning students go through a re-application period during the spring semester in order to return to campus living in fall of the next academic year. During that period, returning students are given priority in obtaining housing on campus.

Room Change Information

Students who do not like their room assignment for the fall term after moving in may use the spring room change period to move to another space on campus, if one is available. Spring room change will occur Thursday, January 24, from 7:00 AM until 9:00 AM and Friday, January 25, from 7:00 AM until 9:00 AM.

Students are encouraged to monitor their e-mail accounts for more information and to periodically visit the main Housing and Residence Life website for details related to the room change period.

Occupancy Checks

During the first two weeks of each semester, Housing and Residence Life verifies the assignment status and occupancy of each student in our residence halls. This process allows us to verify that each student in a room, has been assigned there and that our records are correct and current, in case of emergency or other need. During this process, we "freeze" the room change process. No room changes may occur during this period.

Payment & Installment Plans

Spring 2008 tuition, fees, housing charges, and meal plan bills are typically mailed out by the University in December.

Payments are due on January 9, 2008.

Renter's Insurance

Students wishing to protect their belongings from the possibility of loss should obtain appropriate insurance coverage. Some residents may be covered under their parents' existing homeowner's or renter's policy. Check with your personal insurance company for more information.
