Assignments FAQ, Part 2

July 8, 2011

Hi Everyone,

Now that assignments have been out a few weeks, we’ve been getting some different questions…

I did not receive an assignment yet – do I need to sign the agreement, yet?

No.  You will be sent instructions for signing your agreement when you receive your assignment.  Thanks for your patience!

If I submitted a room change request, should I still sign my agreement?

Yes, if you have already been sent an assignment and you intend to live on-campus this year, you should sign your agreement by the July 15 deadline.  Your agreement is independent of your assignment.

What are the chances my room change request will be granted?

We can’t predict the chances of a request being met, because it is all dependent upon what you requested and whether another student requested to move out of or cancel out of that type of space.  Unfortunately, there is no way to predict what everyone will ask for!  We do our best to meet as many requests as possible, pending space availability.

Where can I change my meal plan preference?

Meal plan preferences should be changed with the meal plan office.

My roommate told me they are trying to move or cancel their housing.  Does this impact me?

Your assignment is independent of your roommate’s.  If s/he decides to cancel or move, you will not be reassigned as a result.  In some circumstances, we may move a student from their original assignment if we can improve their assignment outcome or better pair them with another student.  Usually you will just receive a new roommate.

How do I activate my Mason email?

Go to mail.gmu.edu and follow the link to activate your account.  You will receive information about setting up your email as part of Orientation.  Questions about email should be directed to ITU.
