Housing Selection – Groups of 6, 3, and 2

March 15, 2012

Hi Everyone,

Selection for groups of 6, 3, and 2 is next week!  In preparation for this round of selection, here are a few things you should know:

• All groups of 6, 3, and 2 were assigned a selection time.  No groups were bumped to individual selection. (See below for details.)
• Groups of 2 have selection times on Tuesday, March 20.
• Groups of 3 and 6 have selection times on Wednesday, March 21.
• Selection for groups of 6, 3, and 2 will close at 10am on Thursday, March 22.
• We will begin accepting credit card deposits for members of groups of 6, 3, and 2 who select at 12pm on Thursday, March 22.  Students wishing to pay by check can request instructions for how to do so.
• All deposits must be paid by 12pm (Noon!) on Monday, March 26.  Assignments for students who do not pay on time will be cancelled.  If you have concerns about paying your deposit, contact your Housing Services Coordinator or housing@gmu.edu immediately!

How is it that all groups of 6, 3, and 2 can select?  In addition to the suites that only have space for 6, 3, or 2 students, there were empty suites for 4 people left after groups of 4 selection.  A handful of these suites are available during groups of 3 and groups of 2 selection – the “extra” beds are temporarily on hold for this round of selection, and will be released to be selected during individual selection.

For example, when you are looking at rooms in the room locator, you may see a bedspace in a double room that is available, but not see the other space.  That second space is what is set aside to be assigned later.  Some of those spaces are held for special populations who are assigned over the summer (such as exchange students), others will be available during individual selection and will be picked at the beginning of April.

If you are in a group of 6, 3, or 2, be sure to review the email we sent you on March 15, and get together with your group before selection to discuss your preferences.  Groups who agree on what they want to select ahead of time will be in better shape entering selection than those who wait until their selection time to see what is available.

Good luck – please contact us if you have any questions!
