RESIDENCE LIFE

Regular Online Room Choosing – selections for the upcoming Fall take place in late March and early April of each year after students complete Fall course registration.
All students, even if you are not sure you will be returning in the Fall, (whether you plan to study abroad, transfer or are having academic problems) should participate in these selections.  Please contact us if you have any questions or if you are sure you are not returning in the Fall.

Special note – TBA (to be assigned housing)
Anyone choosing a double room during the online process must have a roommate at the time of your room selection.  You cannot secure a double room without a roommate.  Any student who is left without housing to choose from, or does not have a roommate to secure a double room, must select the TBA (to be assigned) option online which will enable him to sign a TBA housing contract and select a meal plan.  Any student who fails to sign up for housing or contact the Dean of Student office (x:6317) concerning Fall housing, may be billed a $100.00 late registration fee.



HOUSING CONTRACT:  All H-SC students, whether they live on campus, off campus or commute from their parent’s homes, are required to go ONLINE to sign a housing contract and select a MEAL PLAN.  Students must complete course registration to secure housing.  Read the Contract.



 

  • Theme Housing
    Theme housing is a part of the Specialty Housing process. Several dwellings on campus are designated each year as theme houses. Student groups who develop and identify a unifying theme may apply by presenting a student written proposal to the Dean of Students office. Decisions are based upon the strength of the proposal and the proven record of citizenship. Preference will be given to groups that have formal student senate recognition as a club or organization. Cover sheets and selection process sheets are available during selection times from the Dean of Students office or online.

 

  • Sophomore Housing
    Groups of four rising sophomore students may apply for housing in five of the Dickinson Hall apartments. These apartments are awarded to applying groups of rising sophomores with the highest aggregate cumulative grade point average as well as a minimum of fifteen hours earned at the end of the Fall semester prior to selections. Process sheets and applications are available during selection times from the Dean of Students office or online.

 

  • Fraternity Housing
    Fraternity members are assigned housing in the fraternity house by their Fraternity Presidents. IFC fraternity presidents are required to live in their respective chapter house for the Fall semester of each year. Rosters for Fall housing assignments are submitted each February to the Dean of Students office before Specialty Housing selections begin. Fraternity members are not eligible for any specialty housing or regular housing until all beds in the respective fraternity houses are filled for the upcoming school year. New for 2008, any student living in a fraternity house must go ONLINE to accept his assignment, the housing contract and select a MEAL PLAN.
