21. Priority Numbers It’s not just a room, it’s a lifestyle
Student will receive an individual priority number as well as a group priority number. Low number is BETTER.
This number is based on your total number of earned credit hours plus your cumulative GPA.
Your individual number (for a single room) determines what time you are eligible to log on and sign up for housing. The lower your number the earlier you are eligible to begin.
For those students who have formed a roommate group, the average will determine the priority number.
Priority Numbers will be posted on Monday, April 9 on your Housing & Dining Self-Service main page under the Room Selection section.
It’s not just a room, it’s a lifestyle

22. Priority Numbers (example)
Mary and her four friends are looking to go into a townhouse during housing selection. The group average gives them a priority number of 84.
Jill and her four friends are also looking to choose one of the townhouses. The group average gives them a priority number of 71.
Since Jill’s group has a lower priority number of 71 (vs. 84 for Mary), Jill’s group will select before Mary’s group.
It’s not just a room, it’s a lifestyle

23. Townhouse Selection
Students looking to live in the townhouses will choose their housing on this day. (see schedule)
You must have a group of five to choose this option. If you only have three people in your group then you will not be able to select a space.
When a group is fully matched, anyone in the group can select a townhouse.
It’s not just a room, it’s a lifestyle

34. Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move off-campus mid-year?
If you choose to live on campus (especially juniors and seniors), do not assume that you will be released from your housing contract for the Spring semester.
When signing the Housing and Dining Contract, you agree to live on campus for the full academic year.
You must submit a Housing Release form for your request to be reviewed and considered.
Students can be granted release from the Housing and Dining Contract if they are withdrawing from the University, leave of absence, financial hardship, full time internship or marriage

35. Frequently Asked Questions
What if I want to live with an incoming new student?
Unfortunately, that will not be possible. The housing selection process is only for current students and the placement for incoming students happens at a later time.
Also an incoming student such as a new freshman will not be eligible to live in upperclassmen housing.
It’s not just a room, it’s a lifestyle

36. Frequently Asked Questions
I want to live in (insert housing here). Will I be able to select a suite/apartment/room that I want?
It's difficult to say whether or not certain spaces will be available by the time your selection time is up.
Every year selection runs a little bit differently.
The best thing to do is create several plans for room selection. If your first or second choice is not available, go with your third option.
