Fall Room Selection

All on-campus residents are choosing fall 2008 room assignments using Online Room Selection.  Current graduate residents will choose rooms in Prince from Tuesday, May 6, 2008 through Thursday, May 22, 2008.

All graduate residents in Prince will be given a Room Selection appointment time. To find your appointment time go to SPIRE on Friday, May 2, 2008. From the Housing menu, select Room Selection Home Page. Your appointment will be displayed in Step 1. 

Your appointment time will be determined by your Room Selection Priority. Room Selection Priority is determined by the number of semesters you have lived on campus. You will have a randomly assigned number (called rank) that will serve to order residents with the same number of semesters on campus.  To view your room selection Priority go to SPIRE.  From the Housing menu, select Room Selection Priority.
