Room Selection and Numbers Draw
Room selection and numbers draw is a room lottery
system that is held in the spring of each year. Upper-class students select
rooms for the next year based on their class and randomly assigned numbers.
The Residence Life Office reserves a percentage of rooms in various halls
for new incoming students and international students. The Residence Life
Office also reserves spaces/rooms in residence halls for the Living &
Learning Program. Each year, prior to room selection, the Residence Life
Office, with input from RHA, designates floors and specific rooms as tobacco
free, substance free and coeducational by room. These designations vary
from year to year and will continue to change as demand for these types
of living areas increases or decreases. Detailed information about the
room selection process is distributed to students prior to room selection.
Room Changes
Students who selected a room and/or roommate
through room selection:
Room changes are not permitted until the 5th Term. Students may appeal
for an exception to this policy by submitting their request to the Residence Life Office for review by the Residence Hall President's Council. Unauthorized
room changes may result in disciplinary action and a $25.00 fine.
Students assigned a room and/or roommate by the Residence Life Office:
Room changes are not permitted until the completion of 1st Term. Unauthorized
room changes may result in disciplinary action and a $25.00 fine. After the designated amount
of time, students who wish to change rooms should meet with their RA to
start the process. Room changes are not finalized until all paperwork
is filed in the Residence Life Office. Room changes will not be approved
without the recommendation of the Associate or Assistant Director of Residence
Life.

Room Designation
Single Occupancy Rooms:
A single room is defined as a room designated by the Residence Life
Office to accommodate one person. The College does not recognize double
occupancy rooms occupied by one person as single rooms. There are a limited
number of single rooms available. Singles are assigned during room selection.
Students have an opportunity to add their name to the single room wait
list maintained in the Residence Life Office.
Double Occupancy Rooms:
A double room is defined as a room designated by the Residence Life
Office to accommodate two people. The Residence Life Office reserves the
right to assign roommates to students who occupy partially empty rooms.
The occupant of the room does not have the right to refuse a roommate
and in some cases the student living in the room may not be contacted
until after the assignment has been made. Assignments are not negotiable.
The assignments are based on the hall preferences, smoking preference
and specialty interest floor requests of the unassigned person.
Triples, Quads, Fivers
and Sixers:
Triples, quads, fivers and sixers are defined as rooms designated
by the Residence Life Office to accommodate three, four, five or six people.
The Residence Life Office reserves the right to assign roommates to students
who occupy partially empty rooms in the same manner as double rooms.
Special Needs:
Students with special medical needs, as verified by a doctor's explanation
and recommendation by the Director of Student Health Services, may apply
for an exception. Generally, exceptions are not granted for students with
learning disabilities, migraines, asthma and allergies. To apply for an
exception, contact the Residence Life Office. Rooms are need-based and
are not set aside for this purpose.
