To be eligible for participation in the Housing Selection Process, you must meet the following criteria:

• You and/or all members of your group must have submitted the Housing Application (Step # 1).

• You and/or all members of your group must be current students, and you or your Group Captain must submit a Group/Individual Intention Form (Step # 2).

All current resident and non-resident students desiring housing for the 2008-09 academic year will participate in the Housing Selection Process. Students will not have the option to re-reserve or automatically return to their current assignment. Each student will be assigned a number of priority points. Point information will be available on February 1 by clicking on the Point Finder link to the left.

The number of priority points is equivalent to the student’s number of earned credit hours and number of semesters in housing. A person’s number of priority points may be affected by his or her judicial standing.

In-person housing selection appointments will be based on the number of an individual’s or group’s total priority points and then the date and time the Group/Individual Intention Form was submitted. The higher the point value, the earlier the appointment will be, and therefore the greater opportunity for a broader selection of housing accommodations.

The Group/Individual Intention Form was added to the Housing Selection Process several years ago and was well-received by our students. Adding this step to our process reduced the wait time for housing selections from several hours to approximately 15 minutes for most groups.

To access the form, the individual or Captain submitting this form must log on to the mylasalle portal under the Student Services Tab in the Student Affairs Channel and click on the Housing Selection Process icon.

Based upon technology constraints and feedback from students, the Group/Individual Intention Form for townhouses, apartments, and residence halls has been separated. Using this approach, students who wish to apply for any accommodations may do so. After the appointments are determined, groups not eligible will be deleted in order to allow students to complete the Group/Individual Intention Form for their next preference by the deadline dates listed below:

As an individual completing the form, you will be prompted to (1) enter your student ID and (2) indicate the type of housing accommodations you hope to attain for the 2008-09 academic year. The options available to you will be a single space in the townhouses, apartments, or residence halls. The number of double rooms available to renewal students will be limited.

As a Captain completing the form for your group members, you will be prompted to (1) enter your student ID as Captain; (2) indicate the type of housing your group hopes to attain for the 2008-09 academic year, and (3) identify the member(s) of your group other than yourself by their La Salle ID numbers. The number of spaces for IDs will be defined by the Captain’s choice of housing type. Groups must sign up to fill one townhouse, apartment, or residence hall suite, quad, triple, or double room. The number of double rooms available to renewal students will be limited.

A feature of the Group/Individual Intention Form will be the ability for students to locate their points by using the Point Finder (see link to the left). If you need to access your point total when meeting with friends to discuss your group’s total points, click on the Point Finder link on the left. When you enter your La Salle ID number, your point total will be shown. Commuter students will also have the option to view their points this way. Hopefully, this should make planning for your housing selection easier and less confusing.

Note: If there is anyone’s ID listed on the form who is not eligible to participate in Housing Selection (e.g., medical hold, financial hold, is under a judicial sanction which prevents residency, etc.) you will receive an error statement on the form. That individual must satisfy his/her obligation with the University prior to his/her being able to submit this form with his/her inclusion. The group will NOT be allowed to replace group members at the time of its housing selection appointment. Groups and individuals wishing to change must go to Administrative Services (Union 205) and submit a request to clear their original submission. This form may then be completed again on-line. In the case of a change, the date and time of record will be reflected by the later submission.

Appointment times will be based on an individual’s or group’s priority point value total and then the date and time this form was submitted. Tampering with a list is grounds for loss of a selection appointment, and that group/individual will select after all the groups/ individuals.

It is recommended that all students confirm or update their Personal Information in Brother LUWIS through the Registrar’s Office. All correspondence regarding Housing Renewal and the Housing Selection Process will be directed to the contact information on record with the University for the individual applicant, or for the Captain on behalf of the entire group.
