Changes in Eligibility
All members of the classes of 2009, 2010 2011 who are in good standing with
the College and have an "R" for their D-Plan for the term in which they are
seeking housing are eligible for on-campus housing. On-campus housing
includes residence halls, affinity programs and college or privately-owned
CFS/UGS facilities.
Students taking a fifth year to complete a Thayer BE degree are no longer
eligible for on-campus housing in their fifth year. Active olders
(students from the class of 2008 or prior) may apply for fall housing but are
not eligible to participate in room draw. For the fall term, active
olders who want on-campus housing should apply on BannerStudent by the June 2,
2008 deadline. All on-time waitlist applications will be processed in
priority number order and active olders will continue to receive priority
numbers in the senior class range of 801-2300.
The deadline for students to change their D-Plan for the fall term is April
29, 2008; the winter and spring term deadlines are still to be determined by
the Registrar's Office but will be available on their website in late summer
2008.
Brewster Hall Information
As new arts facilities are being constructed, Brewster Hall will no longer
be available after the end of fall term. The International Affinity
Program is moving to McCulloch Hall. Brewster will be available for the
fall term only at Room Draw to students who are enrolled in classes in Hanover
for the fall but will be away winter term. Students who are interested in
this option at Room Draw need to have a D-Plan in place that shows they are an
"R" for the fall and not an "R" for the winter term. When you check your
priority number on-line, it will show your fall and winter D-Plan so be sure
those are accurate when you print the page to bring to check-in for your night
at Room Draw! Students with questions about this one-term-only option
should contact a member of the Housing Office staff.
Roommates and D-Plans
When talking with your friends and determining with whom you want to live
next year, we suggest that you talk about your D-plans. If you and your chosen
roommate have different D-plans in the winter or spring, you may want to talk
to other friends to arrange to pull someone into the vacancy. Another option is
to choose a roommate who has the same D-plan pattern as you so that your room
will be empty for new residents when you go on leave or an FSP. For more advice
or suggestions on choosing a roommate, speak with your community director (CD),
undergraduate advisor (UGA) or a member of the Undergraduate Housing Office
staff.
Housing Assignments for Consecutive Terms
Barring exceptions approved by the Undergraduate Housing Office, your
housing assignment in a residence hall for the fall or winter term
automatically carries over for the next term if your D-plan for the following
term is an “R” at the time of that term’s housing application deadline. Housing
assignments do not automatically carry over from spring to summer or summer to
fall.
Sophomore Guarantee
Members of the class of 2011 are are guaranteed housing for their sophomore
year provided they are enrolled in classes in Hanover (have a D-Plan of
“R”) and participate in room draw/apply by the appropriate deadline.
While all 11’s who participate in Room Draw may not receive an assignment
at that event, those who submit a waitlist application by June 2, 2008 are
still guaranteed housing for the fall term.
Top 10 Things to Know About Fall Housing Selection
1. If you are going to be in classes this fall and want to live on campus,
you should review the Room Draw
section of the ORL website to find out how to get housing.
2. Your housing priority number is available on BannerStudent. This number
is used to determine the order in which you choose a room if you go through
Room Draw. Priority numbers are not transferable.
3. If you cannot attend Room Draw because you are not on campus this spring
or you have a scheduling conflict, you must select a proxy if
you want a room chosen for you.
4. If you will not be enrolled in the fall, you cannot participate in Room
Draw. For all terms except fall, you must apply for housing on BannerStudent by the
appropriate deadline.
5. If you obtain housing for the fall in a fraternity, sorority,
undergraduate society house, affinity program, the Gender Neutral Housing
Program Floor (McLane Ground), or East Wheelock Room Draw, you cannot
also choose a room at general Room Draw. One room per student!
6. If you are selecting a room at Room Draw, make sure you come with your
roommate(s) and/or their proxy,
your student ID card, and a list of 7–10 rooms you’d like to live in.
7. If you are choosing a room with roommates, you must be able to fill all
the beds in the room, and the student with the best priority number chooses the
room.
8. If you are not pleased with the room you select at Room Draw you can try
to get a different room by filling out a Room Change Request Form at www.dartmouth.edu/~orl/housing/forms
before June 2, 2008.
9. Brewster Hall, which is all single rooms, is available at Room Draw
for students who are enrolled for the fall but will be off-campus in the
winter.
10. Remain as calm and patient as possible throughout the housing selection
process. If you have questions, contact the Undergraduate Housing Office to get
accurate information. You will find that no question is too silly or basic and
we all want to help!
