About the Guaranteed Assignment List
Inventory in the residence halls fluctuates depending on class sizes and registrations for on-campus Housing. This means that some students may not be able to immediately choose a room during Room Selection. However, all students with guaranteed housing are assured an assignment.
Why is there a List?
Inventory may not be available at a student’s appointment time for several reasons:
- Sophomores pick after Seniors and Juniors with higher point values, so there are fewer options remaining by a Sophomore's appointment time.
- Corridor-style singles and odd-numbered suites are limited for those who register as an individual or in an odd-number group.
- Blind doubles will not be available for students to choose into during Room Selection. Once all corridor-style singles and odd-numbered suites have been selected, remaining odd-numbered groups and individuals will not be able to select during their appointment time and will be added to the Guaranteed Assignment List.
What happens next?
Students who are unable to select during their appointment time will be automatically added to the Guaranteed Assignment List.
What can I do to avoid having to wait for an assignment?
Students in even-numbered groups are more likely to be able to choose a room during their appointment time as they can select into doubles.
Assignment Process
Students on the Guaranteed Assignment List will receive receive an on-campus assignment for the following academic year. Assignments are typically announced in mid-July.
Students should not skip their appointment or purposefully not select a room during Room Selection in hopes of being placed on the Guaranteed Assignment List.
