The Office for Residential Living announced multiple changes to the housing selection eligibility process that will take effect for the 2015-16 academic year housing process.
“The key changes are that rising seniors who receive eligibility will have priority in the housing selection phases over rising juniors and sophomores. Rising juniors will continue to have priority over rising seniors in receiving eligibility,” wrote Patrick Killilee, executive director of residential services, in an email to the Voice. “We have also altered the selection process to allow students to find out prior to the summer between their sophomore and junior year if they will [have] eligibility for their senior year.”
The class of 2017 will still be excluded from housing selection if studying abroad, since the timeline for housing selection will be later. This policy was originally implemented on Jan. 16 for the class of 2016 but was delayed on Feb. 6 after negative feedback from students.
