This applies to residents in the Spring semester that will go through Priority Room Sign-up for the next Academic Year. Those that do not go through Priority Room Sign-up must reapply like a new resident. Resident does not mean a person that has lived in Texas for a year or resident alien. Priority Room Sign-up gives students currently living in the residence halls an opportunity to select their rooms for the next year before new students are assigned. This process is done by a point system.
Students returning to their same room next year have first priority to their current room.
After that, students may select a different room based on how many priority points they have at the time of application . Priority points will be determined by combining classification plus the number of semesters a student has lived in the residence halls. Each classification counts as one point and each semester as a resident counts as two points. Summer counts as one semester. The highest possible score is 17 points.
