University Housing Contracts

***Important Deadlines***
There have been many questions about University Housing deadlines for
the deposit. This is the deposit that holds their spot in the
University Housing dorms as well as the sheet where students rank their dorm preferences.
At this point, every student has a different deadline on the University
Housing contract they received in the mail. It is an orange day glow
sticker - it should be very obvious. These dates differ per applicant,
the very last group of admitted students have a date of April 15th.
If the student has their contract and deposit postmarked on or before
this date, they are GUARANTEED a spot in University Housing.
(University Housing monitors the number of contracts sent out as well
as the deadlines so they won't receive more contracts on-time than they
can accomodate. This differs from the lottery process many of us may
have experienced when we were high school seniors.)
If the student does not know their own due date, also refer them to University Housing (2.2522).
If the student has missed their deadline, encourage them to call
University Housing as soon as possible - they may be able to get on a
waitlist. Do not tell them to send in their contract and deposit
anyway, they will need to speak to University Housing first.
(x2.2522). While we need to make sure to encourage them to call
University Housing as their first step, this a good time to talk to the
visitors about our Private Housing Connections Program as another
option.
