He said these spaces will be filled with students who are presently on the wait list or in hotels and triples. Davidson attributed the openings to students who are giving up housing or graduating. Davidson said in order to meet students' needs, hotel residents must fill out a written request listing their top three dorm choices. This is the same procedure that all students wishing for a reassignment or on-campus housing must follow. Room assignment decisions will then be based on the priority system.
Priority is determined on a point system.
Residents earn points for each semester they are enrolled in classes and for each consecutive semester they live on campus. Davidson said the fact that these students presently live in hotels will not affect their priority. He also said first-year students are not assigned priority numbers until March, so the hotel residents will most likely be assigned to rooms on North Campus. The single is going to be filled in the normal way that everyone would expect. New students in hotels are not going into the singles.
