Room Selection 2013-2014

Room Selection Schedule 2013-2014

There are videos walking you through the process of setting a pull-in password, retaining a room, pulling in a roommate, and selecting a room. Those videos are located here.

Students interested in ADA Accommodations for the 2013-2014 academic year need to follow the ADA procedure listed here. The deadline for ALL paperwork related to ADA requests is Friday, February 15, 2013. This includes the student form AND a note from a health care provider. If a student missed the February 15 deadline, the student should proceed with room selection as normal. Once the selection process is complete, if the room the student selected does not meet their request for accommodations, that student should contact the housing office. It may be possible for the student to be moved to an assignment that DOES meet the need for acommodations; however, it is unlikely the student will be able to pull in a roommate of his or her choosing.

***EVERY STUDENT WHO MADE AN ON-TIME HOUSING PREPAYMENT HAS MADE IT THROUGH THE PARTICIPATION LOTTERY AND WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ROOM SELECTION***

***ROOM SELECTION UPDATE***

For the upcoming academic year, apartments in the Cedar Dell community will be available for a limited number of co-ed housing apartments.. Students wishing to take advantage of co-ed housing in the Cedar Dell community will have to follow the same rules and process as students obtaining co-ed housing in the Woodland apartments. This means that students wishing to have co-ed apartments in Cedar Dell will need to:

1. Have each room assigned to a roommate. For most Cedar Dell apartments, this means there must be 6 students committed to living in that coed apartment.

2. If selecting a co-ed space, the apartment mate with the earliest room selection time must come to the Housing Main Office at their room selection time to make a coed space selection.

This student must have, for each coed roommate, a:

1. Photocopy of a UMass Pass (ID)

2. Signed copy of a Coed Living Agreement (available here)

It is important to note that rising sophomores (current freshmen) cannot be pulled into a coed apartment until Day 3 of General Room Selection; therefore, you will be unable to fill the coed apartment until that later time. This fact will make it more difficult for you to find an appropriate coed apartment.

Please plan for the possibility that your first coed apartment choice may not be available. Please plan for the possibility that no coed space will be available. If no coed space is available, it is the responsibility of the student making the coed selection to notify the other roommates of the lack of availability. This will allow all parties to make a non coed room selection during their respective room selection times.

If any resident of the co-ed apartment moves out for any reason, even during the summer, the remaining residents of the apartment must identify a new roommate who agrees to move into the vacant space(s) within five business days. If this cannot or does not happen, Housing will take one of the following steps:

1. place a new resident into the open space(s), if that person is amenable to living in a coed setting. An e-mail notification stating that a new resident has been assigned will be sent to the remaining co-ed residents.

2. relocate all remaining residents to gender-specific locations, and re-populate the apartment with new residents.

***THEMATIC HOUSING UPDATE*** Due to unprecedented demand for Substance Aware and Quiet Housing for Upperclass Students, the following areas will house those themes: Evergreen 3rd Floor, Evergreen 4th floor, and Ivy 3rd floor. Sophomore Quiet and Substance Aware Housing will continue to be on the 4th floor of Pine Dale.

For the 2013-2014 academic year, Birch Hall will be switching from full-size beds to extra-long twin beds. This is part of the Housingwide plan to use only one size bed, which will enable us to purchase mattresses and fixtures in bulk. The only remaining halls with full-size beds will be Aspen Hall, Ivy Hall, and Willow Hall. Every other hall will have extra-long twin beds.

Students who put in prepayments after the March 4 deadline should come to the Housing Office with proof of their payment in order to be placed on the Late Pay List. These students will not participate in the formal room selection process, but will receive a room offer over the summer. These offers are made on a first-come, first-served basis while taking into account class status (senior, junior, sophomore). While being on the Late Pay List does not guarantee housing, over the past two summers, every student on the Late Pay List received an offer for housing for the following school year.
