You may cancel your housing application now or at any time while on the non-guaranteed waiting list and your $200 deposit will be credited to your student account.
-
You may keep your application and deposit on file. If you decide to do this, you may want to investigate other housing options after June 5th if you are unable to be guaranteed.
-
If you are notified of guaranteed housing at any time, you may cancel your application within 7 working days of the offer and receive a full deposit credit to your student account (a notification of guaranteed housing may or may not include an actual assignment, but your preferences will be considered). It is very important that you check your UD email for notification. Please do not sign an off-campus lease if you are guaranteed housing until you confirm that you are released from your Academic Year Student Housing Agrement. If you are notified by e-mail that you are guaranteed housing and you do not cancel your application within 7 working days of the offer, you will be obligated to the Student Housing Agreement.
I applied before the guaranteed deadline but have not been assigned.
Dear Student,
You applied for on-campus housing before the guaranteed deadline. Unfortunately, there were more requests for housing than the number of spaces available. Your housing is guaranteed; you will be assigned as soon as spaces become available. There are currently fewer than 100 students on the waiting list.
Assignments are made according to the number of Fall and Spring semesters on campus and applications are randomly ordered within the group having the same number of semesters.
As we receive cancellations through May and early June, you will be assigned. Your preferences will be considered as assignments are made. If you and another student applied to live together and you indicated on your preference form that this is most important to you, we will give you priority for an empty room.
If you decide not to remain on the guaranteed waiting list, you can cancel your application and you will receive a $100 refund to your student account. If you don't cancel by May 31st, all students who are guaranteed housing are obligated to the Academic Year Student Housing Agreement.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact Housing Assignment Services at 5 Courtney Street, (302) 831-3676, or e-mail UD-Housing@udel.edu. Please be assured that you will be assigned housing as soon as possible and your preferences will be considered.
NOTE: Resident Assistants for 2009-2010: If you recently accepted an RA position, you were not assigned through the housing system. If you were offered an RA position, but have not yet accepted, you have been assigned. Your assignment will be cancelled when you accept your position.
Sincerely,

I have been placed on the non-guaranteed housing list.
Dear Student,
Because you did not complete the on-campus housing application process by the March 31 deadline, you have been placed on a non-guaranteed housing list. Currently, we have approximately 50 students waiting on this list.
Students on the non-guaranteed waiting list will be assigned according to the date that the housing application and deposit was submitted.
Although it is possible that we will receive enough cancellations to accommodate everyone on the non-guaranteed waiting list, we are unable to guarantee you on campus housing at this point. You currently have several options:
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact Housing Assignment Services at 5 Courtney Street, (302) 831-3676, or e-mailUD-Housing@udel.edu .

I am assigned to a double room, but I requested a single room.
Dear Student,
Your request for 2009 -- 2010 housing indicated that you preferred a single room. Unfortunately, there were more requests for singles than available space. Therefore, you were assigned to a double room with a roommate. Assignments are made according to the number of Fall and Spring semesters on campus and applications are randomly ordered within the group having the same number of semesters. Over 600 students requested a single room and approximately 350 were assigned to a double.
As we receive cancellations from returning students throughout the summer, we anticipate that there may be single rooms available to accommodate you if you are still interested.
If you would like to keep your assignment to a double room, you do not need to do anything further. However, if you still prefer to be assigned to a single room, you may submit a Summer Room Change Request Form online anytime through May 30. It is important that you indicate "SINGLE" in the "Additional Comments" section of the form so the staff can identify you as a student in this situation. Please provide as many options as possible. While we are unable to guarantee location, we will give you as much priority as possible when considering your request to be reassigned to a single room. Keep in mind that a limited number of singles are available.
If you have a particular need for a single, please note that in the comments section. If there is a medical need, please print the Housing Requests due to Medical, Psychological, or Disability Reasons Form and ask your physician to complete it and either fax or mail the form to the address listed.
Please be assured that we will try to assign you to your first choice. As in the past, Housing Assignment Services will process as many room changes as possible.
If you have questions regarding your options, please contact Housing Assignment Services at 5 Courtney Street, (302) 831-3676, or e-mail UD-Housing@udel.edu.

I requested to live on a Honors floor, but am not assigned there.
Dear Student,
You originally applied to live on the Upperclass Honors floors in North Central or South Central Campuses. Unfortunately, there were more students who requested assignment to these floors than the number of spaces available. Students who are enrolled in the Honors Program and have a minimum 3.0 GPA have priority for spaces on the Honors Floors. Honors students requesting to live with a non-honors student are not guaranteed an assignment on the Honors floors as a roommate pair.
Since you were not assigned to these floors, you were assigned through the Residence Hall process according to the preferences you indicated. Assignments are made according to the number of semesters on campus and applications are ordered randomly within the group having the same number of semesters.
If you would like to keep your assigned space, you do not need to do anything further. However, if you still wish to be assigned to the Upperclass Honors Floors, you may submit a Summer Room Change Request Form online. If you and a roommate wish to be reassigned together, both of you must complete a Room Change form and submit them together. You may submit this form anytime from May 1 through May 29. Please write "HONORS FLOOR" in the "Additional Comments" section of the form so staff can identify you as a student in this situation. Please provide as many options as possible. You will be reassigned according to the original Honors priority (Honors Program semesters on campus, number of Honors courses, and GPA).
You may list specific buildings and we will consider only those buildings that you indicate. While we are unable to guarantee a space for you, please be assured that, if possible, we will try to reassign you.
If you have any questions regarding your options, please contact Housing Assignment Services at 5 Courtney Street, (302) 831-3676, or e-mail UD-Housing@udel.edu.

I requested a Christiana two-bedroom apartment, but am assigned to a one-bedroom.
Dear Student,
Your request for 2009 -- 2010 housing indicated that you were interested in being assigned to a two-bedroom apartment in the Christiana Towers . Unfortunately, there were more requests for two-bedroom apartments than available space. Therefore, you were assigned to a one-bedroom apartment. If you applied as part of a full group, you may have been assigned to the same floor as your requested roommates.
As we receive cancellations from returning students throughout the summer, there may be two-bedroom apartments available to accommodate you if you are still interested. If you would like to keep your assignment to a one-bedroom, you do not need to do anything further, but will be responsible for the cost of the one-bedroom space.
However, if you still prefer to be assigned to a two-bedroom apartment, you may submit a Summer Room Change Request Form online anytime through May 29. It is important that you indicate "TWO BEDROOMS" in the "Additional Comments" section of the form so the staff can identify you as a student in this situation. Please provide as many options as possible. While we are unable to guarantee a specific space or location, we will give you as much priority as possible when considering your request to be reassigned to a two-bedroom apartment.
Please be assured that we will try to assign you to your first choice. As in the past, Housing Assignment Services will process as many room changes as possible.
If you have any questions regarding your options, please contact Housing Assignment Services at 5 Courtney Street, (302) 831-3676, or e-mail UD-Housing@udel.edu.

I applied for the Christiana Towers but am assigned to a Residence Hall.
Dear Student,
You originally applied to live in the Christiana Towers apartments. Unfortunately, there were more requests for this type of housing than the number of spaces available. There were over 300 students on the waiting list unable to be assigned to the Christiana Towers. Therefore, you were assigned through the Residence Hall Process. Assignments are made according to the number of Fall and Spring semesters on campus and applications are randomly ordered within the group having the same number of semesters. Full groups for one or two-bedroom apartments will receive priority if space is available.
As we receive cancellations from returning students throughout the summer, we anticipate that there may be spaces available to accommodate you if you are still interested.
If you would like to keep your assignment to a residence hall space, you do not need to do anything further. However, if you still wish to be reassigned to the Christiana Towers Apartments, you may submit a Summer Room Change Request Form online and indicate "CHRISTIANA TOWERS" in the "Additional Comments" section of the form so that staff can identify you as a student in this situation. The form will be available through May 30. Please give us as many options as possible. While we are unable to guarantee location, we will give you as much priority as possible when considering your request to be reassigned to the Christiana Towers. As in the past, Housing Assignment Services will process as many room changes as possible.

I applied for the Christiana Towers but am assigned to a Residence Hall.
Dear Student,
You originally applied for the Residence Hall Process. Unfortunately, there were more requests for traditional housing than the number of spaces available. Therefore, you were assigned to a space in Squire Hall. Although Squire Hall is designated as a substance-free building, it is considered a traditional residence hall. Assignments are made according to the number of Fall and Spring semesters on campus and applications are randomly ordered within the group having the same number of semesters.
As we receive cancellations from returning students throughout the summer, we anticipate that there may be spaces available to accommodate you if you are still interested.
If you would like to keep your assigned space, you do not need to do anything further. However, if you still wish to be assigned to another traditional upperclass space, you may submit a Summer Room Change Request Form online anytime through May 29. In addition, you may be interested in a super-single. It is important that you indicate "SUBSTANCE-FREE" in the "Additional Comments" sections of the form so that staff can identify you as a student in this situation. Please provide as many options as possible. While we are unable to guarantee location, we will give you as much priority as possible when considering your request to be reassigned.
Please be assured that we will try to assign you to your first choice. As in the past, Housing Assignment Services will process as many room changes as possible.
