Assignment Policies and Practices

Assignments are made in the order of receipt of completed applications.

In recognition of the unique challenges that face newly accepted international students, priority for assignment to graduate student housing will be awarded to those students who arrive from abroad on student visa status AND it is their first time attending school outside of their home country.

All students applying for less than the full academic year (August 17, 2009 through May 10, 2010) will be assigned on a space available basis after all students applying for the full academic year have been accommodated. International students do not receive priority when applying for less than the full academic year.

Students applying for fall 2009 only will be assigned beginning August 1, 2009. Applications received from domestic students prior to May 1 will be wait listed. After May 1, space that has not yet been assigned to international students will be made available to domestic students in the order which the completed applications were received.

If your plans change after you apply and you no longer need housing, please notify the housing office as soon as possible.

When offered an assignment, students will be given a deadline by which to return a signed license. If the signed license is not received by the deadline, the assignment will be cancelled. Single persons of opposite sexes will not be assigned living spaces together.
