Assignment Queue Process

  1. Application Submitted
  • Students who submit a housing application after all beds are filled are placed in the assignment queue.
  • Placement in the queue is based on the date and time the application was received.

2. Exemptions and Bed Availability

  • As beds become available (through cancellations, exemptions, or adjustments), Residence Life will assign students from the assignment queue.

3. Student Contacted

  • Students are contacted by phone call in the order of the assignment queue.
  • The Residence Life team will offer the student the next available bed.

4. Student Decision

  • If the student accepts, they are immediately assigned to the offered bed.
  • If the student declines, the bed is offered to the next student in line.

5. Placement Status

  • Students who decline an offer do not lose their place in the assignment queue.
  • However, Residence Life cannot guarantee that a more desirable or alternative option will become available.

6. Ongoing Notifications

  • Students should closely monitor their phone and email, as the window to respond to an offer may be limited.
  • Residence Life will continue offering beds as they become available until all housing options are filled or the semester begins.
