Housing Update

2008-04-07T14:37:00.000-07:00

At this point, all of the spaces reserved for female resident roommate pairs in both Loyola Village and Pedro Arrupe are now taken. For male spaces, we have a few open selection spaces left for both men and women in both Pedro Arrupe and Loyola Village.
At this point, the Office of Residence Life has created a waiting list for students interested in continuing to pursue on-campus housing opportunities as they become available. Please plan to come to the appointment time listed on your yellow priority number booklet; we will be placing students on this waiting list in priority number/lottery number order, lowest to highest. If you do not attend your assigned session tonight, you can still attend Open Selection on Tuesday, April 8th at 4PM in the Hayes Healy lounge to be placed on the waiting list (in priority/lottery number order, lowest to highest). After Open Selection on Tuesday, if you have not come to either your assigned session or Open Selection, you will be placed on the waiting list in priority/lottery number order, lowest to highest.
If you are no longer interested in remaining on our waiting list, please stop by the Office of Residence Life in Phelan 140 or visit our website for the agreement release form which will be available after April 15th. We will also send you a link via email as well. If you do request to be released from your housing agreement, the $300 prepayment fee is refundable.
We realize that this is a stressful time for you. By the end of the week we will be emailing you information about resources available to you for finding an apartment off-campus, as well as a program we will be putting together in conjunction with current in-hall staff about off-campus living.

IF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED *BOTH* YOUR APPLICATION ONLINE *AND* YOUR PREPAYMENT FEE TO THE OneStop Office ON OR BEFORE THE DEADLINE OF MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2008, YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR PRIORITY AND LOTTERY NUMBER BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK. If you submitted either the application or the prepayment fee AFTER the March 24, 2008 deadline, you will be placed on our waiting list based on the time of application completion AND housing requirement.

Only students currently living in University-Operated housing may participate in Returning Resident Room Selection. Students interested in returning to University-Operated Housing for the 2008-2009 academic year will be split into two Teams:

If you are required to live on campus, you are on Team Green. Students required to live on campus are current freshmen who graduated high school in 2007 AND are under 21 years of age, students with full ROTC scholarships, 2008-2009 RHA Executive and Legislative Board and those with select full academic scholarships. Team Green selects housing during the week of March 30th, 2008.

If you are NOT required to live on campus, you are on Team Gold. Students not required to live on campus are all graduate students, current sophomores, current juniors, and returning seniors who currently live on campus and students studying abroad who lived on campus the semester prior to going abroad. Team Gold selects housing during the week of April 6th, 2008.

Please note: Any student with a hold for incomplete sanctions will not be able to go through the room selection process until the sanction has been completed and the hold has been removed. Also, any student required to live on campus for the 2008-2009 academic year who has not submitted a housing application OR received a housing waiver will have a hold placed on her/his account and will be unable to register for classes for the Fall 2008 semester.

Choosing a double room in Phelan, Fromm, Lone Mountain, Pedro Arrupe, Fulton House or Pacific Wing
Priority in the process for both Team Green and Team Gold is given to students selecting rooms in pairs. Students who select rooms in roommate pairs will be given the opportunity to sign up for a room using the best priority number of the two individuals.

Please note: Students on different Teams (Team Green, required vs. Team Gold, not required) can only sign up as roommate pairs if both students currently live in University Operated Housing and both students graduated high school in 2006 or earlier. Sign ups for student groups comprised of both Teams will take place at the beginning of Team Gold sign-ups (see schedule).

At the time roommate pairs select a room, only one person needs to be present, and must have the following for both students:
- Both priority/lottery number pages (from the back of the priority number booklet)
- (if necessary) The proxy section on the priority number booklet should be signed by the absent roommate

Students who do not have a preferred roommate will come during open selection at the designated time based on Team and priority numbers. At the time of selection, you (or your proxy) must have:
- Your priority/lottery number page (from the back of the priority number booklet)
- (if necessary) the proxy section on the priority number booklet should be signed by the absent student

Choosing a Loyola Village Unit
Only current residents who graduated high school in 2006 or earlier may select a room in Loyola Village. Students signing up for Loyola Village may sign up in even numbered groups (2, 4, or 6 people in a group) for one unit and may use the best priority number in the group. When selecting a condo unit, a maximum of 2 people per group may be present, but must have the following:
- All priority/lottery number pages (from the back of the priority number booklet)
- (if necessary) The proxy section on the priority number booklet should be signed by all absent roommates.

Single Rooms
Students will be able to choose from available single rooms in order of class standing and priority number. Graduate students will have first choice continuing with select students in Team Green, seniors, juniors, then sophomores. If you think you may require a reasonable accommodation for on-campus living on the basis of a disability, please contact Student Disability Services at x2613. This must be completed prior to the start of room selection.

Designated single room locations are Lone Mountain physical singles (coed; required sophomores only), Pedro Arrupe (coed), Pacific Wing (coed; required sophomores only) and Loyola Village (Grad students only).

Wait List
Room selection ends on April 10th, 2008. Current on-campus residents, who are not required to live on campus (as per the residency requirement above), who submit an application for housing after this date will be assigned to available rooms beginning July 1, 2008, after incoming, required students are assigned. Due to the expected occupancy, we do not anticipate many vacancies for the 2008-2009 academic year.

Proxies
Students who are unable to attend their designated sign-up time may assign a proxy (someone to select the room for them). If you are unable to attend, and your prospective roommate will be selecting the room for you, you must complete the proxy section on the back of your priority number booklet and give it to your proxy to use during your slotted room selection time. Please do not skip class; if you cannot find a proxy, please contact the Office of Residence Life and we will help you find one.

Building Descriptions for 2008-2009
Please see our website for building descriptions at http://www.usfca.edu/residence_life.

Judicial Verification
Living in Loyola Village, Fulton House or Pacific Wing is a privilege for students who have demonstrated responsible community living. Students who have been found responsible for multiple policy violations and/or who are currently on disciplinary probation through the USF judicial process as outlined in the Fogcutter are not eligible to select or live in Loyola Village, Fulton House or Pacific Wing. Students found responsible for policy violations after signing up for Loyola Village, Fulton House or Pacific Wing will forfeit their placement and will be reassigned on a space-available basis on the wait list (see above). The Office of Residence Life will screen for judicial violations and/or disciplinary probation status after residents have signed up for Loyola Village, Fulton House or Pacific Wing. Students must be of junior class standing or over the age of 21 in order to be eligible to live in Loyola Village.

Please note: Once you have selected a room you will not be able to change rooms, for any reason, until the Fall 2008 semester room change period.

SentiPensante

2008-03-13T15:43:00.000-07:00

New for Fall 2008: SentiPensante de Latin America!

The word, SentiPensante, means "feeling-thinking" and was invented by fishermen of the Columbian Coast as a way of "defining language that speaks the truth" (Galeano, 1992).

Inspired by the spirit of SentiPensante, this community serves as a welcoming space for students who have an interest in or passion for Latin American culture, politics, social issues, and/or history.

Selected 2nd and 3rd year students will reside on the same floor in Phelan Hall and have multiple opportunities for engagement throughout the year involving faculty, staff, students and the San Francisco community.

Interested? Visit ORL to pick up an application or download one at the ORL website.

Two easy steps for participating in the room selection process

2008-03-06T11:38:00.000-08:00

Room Selection for the 2008-2009 academic year is fast approaching. If you are interested in living in University-Operated housing for the 2008-2009 academic year, please follow these 2 easy steps:

Complete the University Operated Housing Application. This is available on the ORL website. You must complete the application and item #2 by Monday March 24, 2008.
Once you have completed your application, pay the $300 nonrefundable housing prepayment fee. You can do so online. This fee is credited towards your first semester's bill. You can also pay by check directly to the One Stop Office in Lone Mountain.

These two steps MUST be completed by Monday, March 24, 2008 in order to participate in room selection.

Specific instructions on the new streamlined selection process will be delivered to your on-campus mailbox to students who have completed the online application the week of March 24th. Loyola Village residents will pick theirs up at the Loyola Village front desk.

Note: Only students currently living in University-Operated housing may participate in room selection. Students who graduated high school in 2007 and are under 21 years of age are required to live in University-Operated housing unless they have an approved exemption for 2008-2009.

Please bookmark ORL's website and blog! Everything you need will be at that site, including links to the application and agreement, and a link to our frequently updated weblog (where you can sign up for RSS feeds), and updated information and instructions about the room selection process.

Get ready! ORL has information sessions planned if you have any questions and would like to talk to one of us. We also have open houses for our upperclass residence halls and if you need a roommate, come and find one there. Up-to-date information will be posted on our website and weblog.

March 11th 5-7 Phelan glass lounge
March 12th 5-7 Lone Mountain 4th floor lounge
March 13th 5-7 Gillson lounge

Please note: because of the high occupancy rate, only students required to live on campus who graduated high school in 2007 and are under 21 years of age and below junior standing will be able to select from the single rooms in Lone Mountain, Pacific Wing and Fulton House/Cottage.

Now is also the time to really think about where you want to live, and with whom you want to live. More info will be coming next week about open houses in each of the halls to help you. Remember to check out our web site and the info sessions to find out the halls you are eligible to live in. Our Living Learning Communities are still recruiting for next year, you can find their site at: http://www.usfca.edu/living-learning/

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Residence Life at orl@usfca.edu
