Sign-Up Time for Housing next year
Only a small number of students will have housing reserved by March 31. This includes those who are allowed to continue as off-campus commuters, those who apply for and reserve an Ocean View apt., and those who exercise Squatters Rights. (see continuing as an off-campus commuter, applying for an Ocean View apartment, Squatters Rights).
Therefore, most returning students will select their housing for next year during the Housing Selection event in Founders from April 10-19. Every student enrolled during the spring semester, including away-abroad students, is assigned a specific housing sign-up time for this event.

Sign-up times (randomized among the classes and groupings above) will be posted on the Student Profile by the end of March.
Each student will have one sign-up time and two or more sign-up days. Seniors, juniors and sophomores have 3 sign-up days. Current residents in Page and Clark C-M have only 2 sign-up days because they are not allowed to request off-campus until the upperclass students have had that opportunity. Sophomores have greater transportation challenges than other upper class students (i.e. limited parking permit privileges), so residing off-campus can be difficult to manage. We urge sophomores to reside on-campus. All residents in Page and Clark C-M are considered first-years for the purposes of housing selection (even though some may have advanced to a different class).
The housing sign-up time is not related to class registration sign-up. Sign-up times indicate when a student, or a proxy authorized by a student, may obtain the sign-up card at Founders to select housing and meal plan for next year. Once housing is selected during the event, no changes are allowed until after the event (April 23). This prohibition is enforced to preserve the integrity of housing sign-ups for all involved, and to prevent confusion which could be caused by changing assignments.
You may request off-campus at your sign-up time on any of your sign-up days, or after April 23. If there is a waitlist for off-campus, we ask you to consider making an on-campus reservation as a back-up plan. Living on-campus will be required if your request to reside off-campus is not granted.
