I am going to be off campus for a term. How does this affect things?
If you anticipate that you will be away from the Appleton campus for one or more terms during the next academic year, or you have signed up to live in a formal group or theme house for a portion of that year, you can choose housing at the END of single or double room selection. If you fulfill the Combination Rule you may pick in the general lottery..
Please attend the Off Campus Info Sessions to sign your name up on a list to find others who are willing to combine. You can find this list here:
Combination List - students who need housing for 1 or 2 terms
Combination Rule-Students Going Off Campus
To accommodate those students who do not need housing for all three
terms (studying off campus, taking a leave, living for a term in a group house),
students may combine with other students who are in the same situation complementary
terms. All the housing needs for all parties involved must be fulfilled through
this combination. Those students may then choose during their scheduled time
in the housing lottery, rather than choosing at the end of the process.
Example #1-combining for a single: Joe will be gone 1st term; Matt
will be gone 2nd term and 3rd term. These two students may combine to
create a single person for the purposes of picking a room. They may choose
housing during single room selection since this combination will fulfill
their housing needs for the year.
Example #2 combining for a double: Mark will be gone first term, Jack will be gone 2nd term, and Sam will be gone 3rd term. These three students may all pick a double room together because Jack & Sam will live together first term, Mark & Sam will live together 2nd term and Jack & Mark will live together 3rd term. They may then pick in the normal housing lottery because this combination fulfills all their housing needs.
Students who are planning to go off-campus are encouraged to attend one of the Off Campus Housing Info Sessions.
What if I am taking a leave of absence?
Students taking a leave of absence will be guaranteed housing when they return. Students returning from leave of absence must contact the Housing Coordinator to arrange for a new housing assignment.
