It&#8217;s that time of the year where students must let Residence Life know whether or not they are planning on living on campus next year. Let&#8217;s talk about how this works, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>The packet does a pretty good job of explaining how the whole process works. It&#8217;s similar to the way you first applied to live in housing. There is a contract and a two hundred dollar deposit. The contract asks you for basic information like your name, address, etc. Then it proceeds to ask if you are a current resident or a list of other things. If you don&#8217;t know the answer to that question, then don&#8217;t worry. Just ask! There is no such thing as a stupid question. Then it will ask if you&#8217;ve been convicted of a felony and how many credits you have. These are ALL important questions, so don&#8217;t skip one. They can decide whether or not you&#8217;re given a room. There are few terms of agreement that you SHOULD look at before signing your John Hancock! It&#8217;s a contract, don&#8217;t forget. The words aren&#8217;t there just for decoration. Make sure to give them a good look over. If you&#8217;re under 18 then it also asks for your parents signature.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re done with THAT all you have to do is pay the deposit. You can pay this with cash, check, or credit card.<\/p>\n<p>Now here&#8217;s the super important part, so i&#8217;m going to write it in big red letters.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: red\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><u><b>MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE TO TURN IN YOUR DEPOSIT BEFORE APRIL 8TH 2011.* <\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty much all about the housing contract. Once you&#8217;re done with that, you can go on the Online Housing Gateway and choose where you want to live.
