You should apply for fall housing on BannerStudent between may 7, 2008 and June 2, 2008 (the on-time fall application deadline). While you are not eligible for Room Draw, your priority number, which is in the senior class range of 801-2300, will be used when processing your fall waitlist application.
You must submit a CFS/UGS Contract Rider (available at www.dartmouth.edu/~orl/housing/forms/) to the organization’s housing coordinator before the CFS/UGS housing deadline of April 12, 2008. The housing coordinator will assign the spaces and provide our office with the room assignments and contracts by April 17, 2008. If you do not get a space in a social organization house and one becomes available later, you can change from your residence hall assignment to the house. There is no charge for this move as long as it occurs by the housing cancellation deadline for the term (July 1, 2008 for fall term).
If you select a room during room draw and your enrollment pattern changes from an “R” to an “L” after room draw is completed, we will cancel your assignment and notify you of the change. If you change your D-Plan to an “L” after the end of room draw and before July 1st, a $250 housing cancellation fee will apply. If you change your D-plan between July 1st and September 15, you will be charged the $500 housing cancellation fee. If your D-Plan changes from an “L” to an “R” after Room Draw, you should submit a Late Fall Housing Application, available on BannerStudent starting May 7, 2008.
The vacancy you create when you take a leave for the winter term will not be held for your spring return. If you have a roommate for the fall who is on in the winter and spring, and they pull-in a friend who is off in the spring, then your roommate can pull you back in when you return for the spring. For this to happen, you must apply for spring housing on BannerStudent and request the pull-in, there must be a spring vacancy in the room, and the remaining spring roommate must agree to pull you in by blitzing the Housing Office.
Fall leave term housing applications will be accepted this year; however, we do not anticipate having the space available to house may, if any, leave term students this fall due to increased enrollment and decreased capacity. Students interested in pursuing this possibility should apply for housing using the BannerStudent application, which will be available on May 7, 2008. The deadline for on-time applications is June 2, 2008. If possible leave term applicants will be housed after all on-time waitlist students. Any resulting assignments will be posted on BannerStudent no earlier than mid to late August.
As long as your D-Plan is still an “R” at the time of Room Draw you can select a fall term room. If you are accepted to your Off-Campus Program, then your D-Plan will change and we will cancel your fall term housing. If you select a room with roommates, they will have the option of pulling in a friend.
If there is another student you would like to have as your roommate, you may request that he/she be assigned to your room. All parties must agree to this new assignment before it will be approved. If you are not able to identify a new roommate, a student seeking fall housing will be assigned to the vacancy and you will be notified by blitz.
In order for any fall term room change to be approved, you must receive permission from the Director of Housing.
You should contact the Housing Office immediately to determine your options.
You must complete an affinity housing application before April 17, 2008. If accepted to the program, you must then complete an Affinity Program Contract Rider and submit it to the program’s housing coordinator. The application and rider are available in the forms section of our site. More information on affinity housing can be found on the Affinity Program page.
You would apply by using the web-based application, which can be found on BannerStudent. The deadline to apply for winter term housing is October 29, 2008. More information on winter and spring term housing can be found in the housing section of our site.
If you cancel your housing after the end of room draw and before July 1st, a $250 housing cancellation fee will apply. After July 1st, you will be charged the $500 housing cancellation fee. Cancellations are not accepted once the residence halls have opened. Those remaining in your room will likely be assigned new roommates.
Students who wish to confirm their fall assignment immediately following Room Draw may do so by logging into BannerStudent. Fall assignment information will be available beginning May 2, 2008.
Members of the class of 2011 are guaranteed on-campus housing for their sophomore year provided they are enrolled in classes in Hanover and participate in room draw or apply by the appropriate date. While all '11's who participate in room draw may not receive an assignment at the event, those who submit a waitlist application by June 2, 2008 are still guaranteed housing for the fall term.
Students may select a room with a member of a different class using the best number in the group to select a room. This option is available to allow students to live with their chosen roommate not as a way to secure a better room. Any such manipulation of the priority number system only hurts other students and is not tolerated by ORL.
