Assignment Process for New Freshmen and Transfer Students
When you are admitted to FSC, Admissions will send you a
packet of information about on-campus housing. When you send
back your admission deposit, you can also send back the housing
deposit and the Occupancy Agreement. Admissions will then
forward the Occupancy Agreement to Housing and Residential Services and during the summer
you will be assigned to a room.
During the spring semester, current residents have an opportunity
to select a room for the coming year. Once returning student
assignments are completed, Housing and Residential Services begins
to make assignments for new freshmen and transfer students
who have submitted their Occupancy Agreement and deposit. Assignments
are made for new students based on a first-come first-served
philosophy and so will be made according to the date the Occupancy Agreement
and deposit are received.
The earlier you send the Occupancy Agreement, the more likely it is that
you will be assigned to one of your top residence hall choices.
The deadline dates for new freshman applicants is May 1 and
for new transfer students is July 1. Occupancy Agreements received
after these dates are unlikely to be accommodated in
on-campus
housing.
If you know someone that you want to room with, there is
an option to make that request on the Occupancy Agreement and complete
the roommate preference section. Roommate requests will be
honored, if possible, but due to space limitations cannot
be guaranteed. To help insure that you are assigned with the
roommate of your choice, be sure that the roommate preference
information is completed on both agreements, that the agreements
are submitted at the same time and that the agreements are
submitted early.
If you don’t know someone you would like to room with,
Housing and Residential Services will make an assignment for you.
We use the information on your Occupancy Agreement (to the extent
possible) to assign you to a building and roommate, so be
sure to complete the agreement thoroughly and accurately.
Housing and Residential Services uses residence hall preference,
roommate preference and age as the most important assignment
criteria, in addition to using the supplemental information
about lifestyle preferences to make the best possible assignment
(as space allows).
We will begin making room assignments in June and residents
will be notified of room and roommate assignment by letter
in late July or early August. In addition, students will be sent information
that will help ease the transition to living on campus.
