How Does The
Christiana Towers Apartments Assignment Process Work?
All matriculated students who submit applications for the Christiana Towers
apartments by March 14 are assigned based on the number of semesters they have
lived on campus. Within each "priority group" (students who have lived on campus
the same number of semesters) the applications are given random numbers by the
computer. The Roommate Captain's priority group and random number will determine
the order of assignment for each full-apartment group. (See sections on "Full-Apartment
Advantage" and "The Roommate Captain.")
Full-Apartment Advantage
Full-apartment groups are either (a) two students applying
for a one-bedroom apartment or (b) four students applying for a two-bedroom
apartment. You are more likely to receive the assignment you prefer if you apply
as a full-apartment group.
Partial groups are either (a) one student requesting a one-bedroom apartment or (b) fewer than four students requesting a two-bedroom apartment . Partial groups will be assigned after full groups, in the order of the Roommate Captain's priority group and random number.
The Roommate Captain
If you are applying to live with a roommate (or roommates), you must select
a Roommate Captain. The computer program recognizes the Roommate Captain, identifying
each student as part of a specific roommate group. Therefore, the same Roommate
Captain's name and social security number must be on the forms
of all roommates within that group (including that of the Roommate Captain).
Designating the person who has lived on campus the most number of semesters
as the Roommate Captain will give your group an advantage. Note:
If one or more of your roommate group applied for housing after the housing
application deadline of March 14, your group will be assigned after all students
who met the application deadline have been assigned.
How To Ask For What You Want
If you want to live with a specific roommate
or roommates:
Decide which one of you will serve as the Roommate Captain.
If you select the student who has lived on campus the most semesters and you
have a full group, you will maximize your chance of receiving the type of assignment
you prefer.
Agree on the preferences and priorities to be specified on
the Roommate Captain's form. You will be assigned according to these preferences
and all of the students in your group will be assigned together according to
these criteria, as long as empty apartments of the type you are requesting are
available.
Each roommate must complete a Christiana Apartment Preference
form. The forms do not have to be identical. If, for some reason, you or one
of your roommates need to cancel your housing application at a later date, the
preferences on each individual's form may be considered in making an assignment.
Make sure the Roommate Captain's name and social security
number correctly appear on each person's form.
If you currently live in the Christiana Towers apartments and
want to choose the "Return Request" option (see "Return Request" Option
section for more information):
A student who currently resides in the apartment or building
in which you wish to live MUST serve as the Roommate Captain for your group.
Complete your form with information you will want considered if your "Return
Request" cannot be honored. If you are not part of a full-apartment group, your
"Return Request" will be considered only if your apartment is not needed for
a full group.
If you do not have a full-apartment group:
Individual applicants and partial groups are still guaranteed
assignment, even though the preferences of full groups receive priority. The
computer program will note your responses to the "Roommate Characteristics"
questions and assign you with a person or persons whose responses are as compatible
with yours as possible.
Notes
It is possible that a particular apartment on a floor may be needed to fulfill a "Friends-Together" request. In these cases, students are still guaranteed reassignment to their buildings, but not necessarily to the same apartment.
If you and a current roommate both request to return to the same apartment but with different roommates, the priority group and random numbers of the Roommate Captains will determine whose request is honored. Both roommate groups will be assigned to the same building.
If you wish to include an incoming transfer student in your roommate group, call UD1-DORM (831-3676) for instructions.
If you are part of a pair or a group, enter your Roommate Captain's name and social security number. If you are the Roommate Captain, you should enter your own social security number and name.
Enter the name(s) of the person(s) with whom you are requesting to live in the Roommate(s) section.
If you prefer an upper, middle, or lower floor, indicate
your preference in this section. Floors 1 through 5 are considered "lower,"
6 through 11 are considered "middle," and 12 through 17 are considered "upper."
"Return Request" Option: You are guaranteed reassignment to the same apartment
if you have a full group (two persons for a one-bedroom or four persons for
a two-bedroom apartment) and a person currently residing in the apartment is
designated as the Roommate Captain (see exceptions in Notes). Complete your
form with information you will want considered if your "Return Request" cannot
be honored.
If you wish to indicate a Specific Building Request, select "CET" for Christiana East or "CWT" for Christiana West.
Roommate Characteristics Questions: Be as honest as you can when answering these questions.
Further Instructions
Room Type: Choose either a one-bedroom or two-bedroom
apartment.
Prioritize Your Preferences: Rank each preference category in priority order
according to its importance to you. This section, and your or your group's semester
priority and random number, will all affect your assignment. The computer program
will satisfy as many preferences as possible according to the way you prioritize
your preferences. For example, if you indicate "Apartment Type" as your top
priority, you might not be placed in your preferred building. (There may be
no more of the apartment type you prefer left in that building when you or your
group is assigned.) Consider what is really most important to you as you prioritize
your preferences.
Living in the Residence Halls
back to top
How Does The
Residence Hall Assignment Process Work?
All matriculated students who submit housing applications by March 14 are grouped
together based on the number of semesters they have lived on campus. Within
each "priority group" (students who have lived on campus the same number of
semesters), applications are sorted and numbered randomly by computer. The computer
will note your preferences, the order of importance in which you have ranked
them, and then will search for a room to assign you. The available room which
best meets the criteria you have specified is the one to which you will be assigned.
If you request a specific roommate, the "Roommate Captain's" priority group
and random number will determine the order in which you and your roommate are
assigned (see section on requesting double rooms with a specific roommate).
When assigning roommates, the computer program will attempt to fulfill your specific roommate request or assign a roommate based on your responses to the "Roommate Characteristics" questions.
How Will Your
Choices Be Considered?
Your priority group, your computer-assigned random number, and the way you complete
the "Prioritize These Preferences" section of the preference form all influence
your assignment. The computer program identifies a room for you according to
the order in which you rank the importance of your Roommate, Room Type, and
Location preferences.
You may also request specific buildings; upper, middle, or lower floor levels; and hall type, if you wish.
Roommate Captain
One of you must be designated as the Roommate Captain.
The computer program recognizes the Roommate Captain, identifying each student
as part of the roommate group. Therefore, the same Roommate Captain's name
and social security number must be on both forms.
How To Ask For What You Want
If you want a double room with a specific roommate:
Enter your Roommate Captain's name and social security number.
If you are the Roommate Captain, you should enter your own social security number
and name. If one student has lived on campus more semesters or has selected
the "Return Request" option, that student should be designated as the Roommate
Captain.
You will be assigned to the same room according to
the preferences listed on the Roommate Captain's form, as long as empty double
rooms are available and you have indicated Roommate as your top priority.
Your and your roommate's forms do not have to be completed
identically. If no double rooms remain at the time of your assignment, you and
your requested roommate will be assigned separately according to the preferences
noted on your individual forms. Note: If you
or your roommate applied for on-campus housing after March 14, both of you will
be assigned after all students who applied by the deadline.
If you want a double room but do not have a
specific roommate request:
The computer program will read your "Roommate Characteristics" preferences and
will try to match you with someone whose responses are compatible with yours.
If you want a single room:
Pencader, Gilbert and Rodney buildings have a large number of single rooms.
If you wish to room with an incoming freshman
or transfer student:
Please call our office at UD1-DORM (831-3676) as soon as possible for further
instructions.
Notes
The "Return Request" option is available for current
residents of all upperclass buildings except for some Unique Housing Options.
If you are part of a roommate pair and one of the roommates currently lives elsewhere, the current resident of the building where you wish to live must serve as the Roommate Captain.
A request to return to your single room or to your double room with your current or new roommate is guaranteed unless your room is needed to accommodate Unique Housing Option requests.
Pencader D-H will be predominantly freshmen for 2003-2004.
Enter the name of the person with whom you are requesting to live in the Roommate section.
If you prefer an upper, middle, or lower floor, indicate your preference in this section.
"Return Request" Option: You may choose to return to your same building or same room. Please read the information about this option in the "Notes" section.
Specific Building Request: If you wish to indicate a Specific Building Request, specify the requested building by using the codes listed in the chart on the preference form. You should list three (3) buildings.
Roommate Characteristics Questions: Complete this section by answering the questions as honestly as possible.
Further Instructions
Room Type: Choose either a single or double room.
Location:Rank order all the locations from one to seven with one being the location you prefer most. Use each number only once. If you indicate specific buildings, your specific building request (if available) will override your location preferences.
Hall Type: Choose one type only. Your Room Type and Location choices always take precedence over your Hall Type preference.
Prioritize Your Preferences: Rank order Roommate, Room Type, and Location according to its importance to you. Use each number only once.
The computer will satisfy as many of your preferences as possible, in the order in which you prioritize them.
It is possible that you may not be assigned to your
first choices, depending on the number of semesters you have on campus. Therefore,
consider carefully what is really most important to you as you prioritize your
preferences.

as deposits are not completely refundable. (See above #2B) However, on-campus
housing is only guaranteed if an application and deposit are received by March
14 (see below # 6).
4. Can my financial aid package be used to pay the housing
deposit?
Some financial aid packages may be used to pay the housing deposit. Contact
Financial Aid at 302-831-8761 or by e-mail at finaid@udel.edu
with any questions.
5. What are the terms of the annual Student Housing Agreement?
The Student Housing Agreement is available on the Web at:
www.udel.edu/stuhb/stuhcs/LIVINGAPP.html
The Agreement becomes binding annually on July 1. This means that if you are
assigned on-campus housing you will be obligated to pay for your assigned housing
for the full academic year. For students living in traditional residence halls,
a dining plan is also mandatory. If you want to cancel your on-campus housing
assignment, you must do so prior to July 1. To initiate a cancellation, contact
Housing Assignment Services at 302-UD1-DORM (831-3676), or e-mail: UD-Housing@udel.edu
6. Can I still apply for on-campus housing after the March
14 application deadline?
Yes, but Housing Assignment Services cannot guarantee on-campus housing. If
you submit your application after March 14 you will be assigned housing as space
permits, based on date order and you will be notified of your assignment by
mail.
7. How can I change my room assignment?
If you are not satisfied with your room assignment, a Room Change Request form
may be obtained from Housing Assignment Services. These forms are processed
throughout the summer and confirmation of any change in your room assignment
will be mailed to you. While Housing Assignment Services makes every effort
to accommodate student preferences, some areas of campus may be more popular
than others in any given year, thereby limiting the ability to reassign you.
8. If I am accepted into a Study Abroad program, can I be
released from the Housing Agreement?
Students who are accepted into a Study Abroad program must cancel their housing
within two weeks of their acceptance in order to receive a full refund of the
housing deposit. Students may also defer their housing until the spring semester,
retaining their priority. Students will receive information in their acceptance
letters regarding this.
9. I am going to rush for a fraternity or a sorority. If
I decide to live in the chapter house, can I cancel my housing?
Students who are new pledges may cancel their housing application and will receive
a full refund of their deposit as long as their names are included on the list
of house members. Special cancellation forms are available online.
