Supplemental housing exists in order to provide enough housing for students who request to live on campus. Housing assignments are made on a first contract submitted, first assigned basis. Typically, during the first few weeks of fall semester, a number of students do not return to the University. As cancellations occur, students assigned to supplemental housing are assigned to a regular residence hall room. Depending on the number and timing of cancellations, a student stay in supplement housing can range from a few days to a full semester.
Supplemental housing is achieved by converting student lounge space.
All residence hall services are available to supplemental housing students. So, rest easy. Students in supplemental housing often find their adjustment to college easier than expected due to the number of people they meet early on in their college experience. Your residence hall contract is a legally binding contract. If you are a freshman, you are required to live on campus unless you will be living at home with parents, guardians, or close relatives, or you are 21 years of age prior to initial registration with the University, or you are a veteran.
