Step 5: Select Your Assignment (Room Selection Process Invitees Only)
As a Room Selection process invitee, you will be given a specific date and time when you can select your housing assignment. Selection times are assigned in descending order of earned cumulative credits among all students in the self‑selection pool. This means students with the most earned credits (typically Rising Seniors) will have the earliest pick times.
Your selection time is the earliest moment you may select your assignment, but you may select any time until the end of the Room Selection period. The earlier you select, the more options are likely to be available. If another member of your group has an earlier selection time, they may select for everyone in your group.
Spaces in suites (Eddy) and apartments (Brookside, Garrahy, Gateway, and Wiley) are considered mixed‑gender. If you select one of these options, students of other genders may select any remaining spaces in the suite or apartment. For example, a group of five students may select five rooms in a 10‑person suite, while another group of five students—regardless of gender—selects the remaining five rooms.
Spaces for specific group sizes do run out, and there are no late releases of additional housing inventory. Initially, you will only see building and room options that exactly match your group size. For example, a group of four matched students cannot see or select five‑person options.
If you or your group goes to select an assignment and no options are available, there is still room for you. First, try adjusting your group size by adding or removing members. Otherwise, at the end of the Room Selection process, you will have the opportunity to select and partially fill any remaining available spaces while others select and fill the spaces around you.
Choose wisely! Once you or your group selects an assignment, no immediate changes will be made. A Room Change Request form will be available in May/June (details will be emailed). You may also choose to cancel your housing assignment entirely.
