Housing Application Instructions

posted on February 23rd, 2009 by Jen

Since we have gotten a few questions about this…

Depending on your class year and where you currently live, when you log-in you will see some or all of the following options:

  • Squat my Central Campus apartment (aka Return to Same)
  • Squat in your preferred roommate’s Central Campus Apartment
  • I am not blocking
  • I am blocking
  • I decline housing

You will select ONE of these options.  You will then get a drop down box that includes the remainder of the application information you need to submit, based on the option you chose.  As applicable, these drop downs will have spaces to indicate that you are interested in Sophomores on Central, East Meets West, and Substance Free.

If you want to live on West Campus in a single, double, or triple and are not blocking, select “I am not Blocking.”

If you want to live on West Campus and are blocking, select “I am blocking.”

If you want to live on Central Campus, are not blocking, and are not squatting an apartment, select “I am not blocking.” Select “double” for your room occupancy, and then check “Central Campus” below.
If you want to live on Central Campus, are blocking, and are not squatting an apartment, select “I am blocking.”

If you want to live in a 4-person apartment on Central Campus, select “I am blocking.”  You will need to be in a block of at least 4 people.  You will NOT indicate anything on the application about wanting a 4-person apartment.  Select “double” in the room occupancy dropdown and then check “Central Campus” below.

If you plan to live in your preferred roommate’s current Central Campus apartment, select “Squat in your preferred roommate’s Central Campus Apartment.”

If you plan to live in your own current apartment again, select “Squat my Central Campus apartment (aka Return to Same).”

Please let us know if you still have questions, and good luck!
