Students denied a release by the staff member may appeal to the Student Housing Appeals Board by following the procedure outlined in their letter of denial. The Board is a University Standing Committee reporting to the Vice President of Student Affairs. Housing Board decisions are final. The student may state his or her preference for hall and roommate. New students who will be living on campus for the first time will receive their assignment by mail or after June 1.
Every effort is made to honor roommate preference.
Students who do not state a preference will be assigned a roommate. Except in extenuating circumstances, as determined by the Assistant Director of Housing, students will not be allowed to move into University single-student housing during the last month of either semester. The additional payment is due upon assignment to the private room by the Housing Office and will be prorated after the third week of the semester, dependent upon the date on which the student became the only resident in the room. Residents having private rooms during fall semester must reapply in order to have a private room in the spring. The possibility always exists that a residence hall having ample space for private rooms in the fall may not have enough space in the spring due to new assignments.
