Students receiving assignments to Trent may not relocate to other upperclass areas of campus until we accommodate the students with higher seniority who are returning to campus for the Spring 2002 Semester. The Housing Assignments Office sends housing information to each student's permanent address prior to the semester in which the student intends to return. Students will be able to make specific requests much in the same way as if the student were on campus. Not necessarily, however, you should be aware that students that are away for the fall semester are assigned to space that becomes available through attrition. The large number of students that return in the Spring combined with the fewer number of students that leave creates a reduced opportunity for the Housing Assignments Office to meet your preferences.
Every effort is made to assign students to locations of preference when they return.
Unfortunately though, there cannot be a guarantee of any particular preference, not even for those students that are members of selective living groups. Your final placement, however, depends on the availablity of space in the house. While every effort will be made to place you back with your selective living group, the determining factor is the number of available spaces and the number of members returning. If there is no space, we will first consider vacancies in other selective living groups before considering an assignment to an independent house or to a Central Campus Apartment. We'll try to keep you as close to your selective living group as possible.
