1. When is the application deadline?

The last date to delete a preference is March 15 - you may still accept or reject pending preferences until the March 26 application deadline.
2. What if my application is late?
You will not be able to submit an application after the deadline. You must apply to the wait list.
3. If I accepted a Pre-Draw Retention offer, do I need to submit a Room Draw application?
No, your housing assignment for the 2013-2014 academic year is established. Only those who reject their Pre-Draw Retention offer can apply for Room Draw.
4. I do not want to remain in university housing next year, what should I do?
Do not apply for the Draw and vacate your current space by no later than the last day of your current contract.
5. Where can I find the rates for different units?
All rates for the 2013-2014 academic year are posted on the Housing web site.
6. When will I get my assignment?
All students will receive their housing assignments no later than May 15.
7. How long do I have to accept my housing contract offer?
You will have seven days after the issue date to accept your contract. If you do not make a decision by that time your contract offer will be rescinded and you can apply to the wait list.
8. When will I get my GC/Annex room assignment?
Those students who were successful in retaining their room will receive their contract on April 16. Students who were successful for the GC/Annex room selection process will select their room on-line in late April.
9. When will the Successful Draw List be posted?
The Successful Draw List will be posted on the housing web site after 4:00pm on April 11.
10. Will my security deposit transfer from one apartment to the next?
Yes, upon accepting your contract your deposit will automatically transfer to your assignment next year.
11. Does being successful in the Draw guarantee my first choice of location?
No, success means you qualified for one of your indicated unit types, not apartment location.
12. What if I cancel my contract after I have accepted it?
You have 10 business days after the date of your contract acceptance to cancel your contract without penalty. After 10 business days, a $300 fee will be assessed.
13. Can I see floor plans or maps of the units before I select my preferences?
Yes, all floor plans can be found here.
