RESIDENCE

Room Assignment
Residence rooms are assigned by random lottery through the Department of Housing
and Organizational Services. Each student will indicate their top three choices on their
applications and those will be entered into a computer program that will assign the rooms.
Student’s preferences are part of the process and the majority of students do get one of
their three choices, however, the computer program is built to assign all of the residence
rooms at Huron so inevitably some students will be given room assignments that they did
not request. Please be aware that the number of requests received for super single rooms
outnumbers their availability. Although you are given an option to tell us where you prefer
to be placed, we are unable to guarantee that you will be placed in a building that is among
your preferred choices.
All room assignments are final. There are no waiting lists for specific rooms or buildings.
We cannot guarantee residents their choice of building or room.
We reserve the right to assign rooms based on availability, including combining multiple
residents into rooms, within reasonable limits of safety and comfort, should situations
of high-demand arise.
Residents may not sublet their rooms or change rooms without the written permission of
the Assistant Director.
Room switches will be granted by the Assistant Director in exceptional circumstances only!
The first date to request a room switch is October 1, 2016. The last date to request a room
switch is October 7, 2016. No room switch requests will be considered after October 7, 2016.
Those who wish to change rooms MUST request a room switch during this period. Room
switches will only be granted in extraordinary circumstances. The Assistant Director is
under no obligation to grant room switches simply because there are unoccupied residence
rooms.
Room switch request forms are available in the Housing and Organizational Services Office.
The Assistant Director reserves the right to reassign residents to other rooms, floors,
or buildings if conflicts or other considerations so warrant.
