Reapply for 2009-2010

Overview

Residents currently living on-campus will have the opportunity to participate in a reservation process during Spring 2009. They will do so by reapplying, selecting a room, and securing the space. The information provided below is an abbreviated version of the complete details. For the specifics, please read the emails sent to your SSU email account or information placed in your campus mailbox. The various publications and email notices containing the details will be added here for your convenience.

Room Selection Starting April 30th

Current SSU students who reapplied or submitted a Housing Plan form after the initial deadline will receive an email to their SSU email account letting them know what their lottery number is by April 29th. This email will provide them with their lottery number and some additional information about the process. The Offer Notice instructs students to go to this web page and download the Slection Guide. This guide will provide the appointment times for the particular lottery number as well as screen shots and instructions on selecting a room.

Reapplying

Attention

Residents were sent an email on March 1st instructing them to only use Internet Explorer for the reapplication process. The direct link to reapply is: https://rms-housing.sonoma.edu:4430

The reapplication period will start on Monday, March 2nd at 10:00 a.m. and will end at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 6th. This is not a first come, first offered priority system. You can reapply anytime during the period. If you miss the deadline, students will continue to have access to the web site; but their application will be considered late and will receive appointment times at the end in date/time received order. Students will reapply online through the RMS Student Web. We encourage students to reapply according to the following schedule to prevent a system overload:

Room Selection

Applicants will receive an offer notification to their SSU email account with their appointment time no later than March 12th. The letter will indicate the appointment when they can log on to select a room. Room selection will take place on Tuesday, March 17 and Wednesday, March 18th. During the room selection phase, students will also have the opportunity to pick other applicants as room and housemates, as long as they have also been offered space.

With the opening of Tuscany Village, we are forecasting that we will be able to accommodate residents wanting to return for an additional year of campus housing. Having these additional bedspaces, also allows us to invite current SSU students living off-campus to participate in the room selection phase, as long as they have submitted a hardcopy of Housing Plan (pdf) to Housing Services by 4:30 p.m. on March 6th.

Securing Bedspace

The last and most critical step is to secure your bedspace by returning a Student Housing License Agreement and reservation deposit to Customer Services by the required deadline of April 10th. After you book a room, you will receive an "Offer Confirmation" packet which will include all the necessary documents and instructions about finishing the process.

Rates for 2009-2010

Residency Limit

Campus housing is not guaranteed for multiple years of residency. During years of impaction, priority for returning and being offered a space is determined on a lottery basis with first considerations given to the residents who have lived on campus for one year or less. In years when we are not impacted, priority for room selection is based on random generated appointment times.

The 2009-2010 Academic Year is not impacted and therefore we should be able to accommodate all the residents who would like to return for another year.
