Phases. Phase One will be the Housing Application/Payment Submission process and Phase
Two will be the General Room Assignment with specific dates and times that you will
participate. Failure to participate in your designated time frame will result in your being

application and paid the non-refundable fee. Phase Two process will start during the month of
April. If you submit an application and do not pay your housing fee, you will not be able to
participate in Phase Two. Please read the following information carefully. We have detailed

Housing Application Process 2015-2016
1.
The University will guarantee housing for all new first time freshmen who entered the
university for the 2014 fall semester and current sophomores as their enrollment mandated
a 2 year on campus housing residency. The application and $135 non-refundable housing
deposit payment must be submitted online during the same time frame using the RMS
(Residential Management System) via the Student Web and TouchNet Payment
commencing February 10-March 17, 2015. After submitting your application, use TouchNet
Payment to pay your housing fee. You are only able to pay online if you are paying with a
Visa or Master card (debit/credit). If you are paying by cash, certified check or money order
you must pay in the Student Accounts office in Thompson Center suite 200 at the cashier’s
station. No personal checks accepted. Failure to pay during the designated dates can
1
prohibit your selection schedule and limit your preferences when you pay after the posted
timeframe.
2.
A general room selection process based on classification with earned hours to reflect that
classification will be used to manage the order in which students will be permitted to
select rooms, roommates and meal plans online using the Residential Management
System (RMS). Students who do not submit an application and payment will not be able
to select a room and will jeopardize their selection order. During this time students
cannot be offered preferred housing or a preferred roommate.
3.
Housing options: Other vital information will be shared prior to the General Room
Selection Dates.
Student Incentive Housing Option The Student Incentive Housing Option is proposed to
offer students with a GPA of 2.8 or higher and a minimum of 45 earned credit hours the
opportunity to live in our most private and independent accommodations on campus, Rams
Commons. The building (s) will be designated for students who meet the GPA and credit
hour qualifications based on number of available bed spaces.
Honors Housing:
This community will be co-ed living in designated buildings of Rams Commons for the
Honors program scholars who meet the Rams Commons requirements with sophomore,
junior, and senior class status with no excessive noise. The Honors Hall will have an
environment conducive to sleep and study 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Residents
are more considerate and respectful of their peers and stick to their own sleep, work,
and study schedules.
Living Learning Communities (LLC) and Thematic Housing:
A designated number of spaces will be available for LLC and Thematic Housing and will
be assigned based on classifications and building types. These spaces are pre-assigned and
failure to participate will result in re-assignment to what is available at that time along with
incurring the housing fee if it was waived based on the program. Some programs waive the
$135 non-refundable housing fee to offset the cost of specific residence halls. That is the
purpose for the pre-assignment so be sure, be very sure that you want to be a part of these
programs once you are assessed and accepted.
