Extended Housing - Triples Assistance Program (TAP)
Many students will be assigned to extended housing and this can be both a challenging and very rewarding experience. Some questions about extended housing can be answered by visiting the Housing Assignment Services web site. If you have questions about removal of extended housing furniture, please visit the Facilities website. To have a rented loft removed, call 1-877-233-5638.
In addition to Facilities and Housing Assignment Services staff members, Residence Life staff members are also available to assist you. They have been trained to help mediate conflicts, answer questions, and provide support. Residence Life has also offers a special program just for students living in extended housing called the Triples Assistance Program (TAP).
The Triples Assistance Program (TAP) is designed to provide assistance to students and their parents throughout their extended housing experience. This program is designed to proactively educate and support residents through formal and informal programming and interaction. .
Highlights of this program include:
- Programming within the residence halls tailored to the specific needs of students living in extended housing (i.e. roommate negotiation techniques).
- An opportunity to learn from students who have lived in extended housing in the recent past.
- Social programming designed to promote interaction among all students in extended housing within the complex.
- Residence Life assistance with managing conflict beginning with the facilitation of an effective roommate agreement.
- Free subscription to the informative Triples Newsletter
- Support for Housing Assignment Services and Residence Life staff in the de-tripling process during the fall semester and beyond.
Our goal is that students living in extended housing will be able to succeed both academically and socially. Living in a triple can be challenging. However, students have been successful through flexibility, open communication and participation in the many components of the Triples Assistance Program.
