2.8.43.1 : Upper Division Vacancies

The following procedure applies when a vacancy occurs in Upper Division Housing (UDH):

1.     If a waiting list exists, the student needing a roommate will be allowed to select someone from the waiting list. If the student does not select someone, the first person on the waiting list will be offered the space. If the person on the waiting list turns down the room, the next person is contacted.

2.    If no one on the waiting list wants to move, or if there is no one on the waiting list, the student without a roommate may either keep the room as a single, or request someone as a roommate. If the student they request qualifies, that student may move into UDH.

3.    If space is needed in the residence hall and space exists in UDH, the student needing a roommate will need to select a roommate from the waiting list, or if there is no waiting list, request a student who will need to apply and be approved.

4.    When space is needed in the residence halls and space exists in UDH, and there are no candidates for UDH, then announcements will be made to the student body that applications are being taken for UDH.

5.    If the process is reopened, the student with the space will select someone from those who are approved. If he/she is unable to select someone, a lottery will be held to determine the order in which applicants will be offered rooms.

6.    If complete empty rooms exist in UDH, the process will follow as outlined in will be offered rooms.
