2008-09 Returning Student Selection Process

The Marquette University Office of Residence Life is pleased to announce our returning student sign-up process for the 2008-09 academic year.  This information is intended to introduce the automated selection process to you, as you will be utilizing this process to choose a room, roommate(s), and meal plan for the 2008-09 academic year.

There are several important features you will need to understand in order to successfully select your room assignment for next year.  These features are explained in greater detail throughout this handout and are highlighted here for your convenience:

• The Campus Living web selection process will only be available to current first year students.  Current second and third year students will need to sign-up, in person, at the Office of Residence Life located in Carpenter Tower 203 if they want to sign-up for a residence hall room.
  
  
• You will want to determine your first, second, third and even fourth residence hall preference well in advance of your selection time.  Doing so will allow you to complete your room selection should your preferences be filled prior to your assignment time.
  
  
• In order to maximize the opportunity for roommates to select the hall of their choice, a priority will be given to groups of students who can completely fill their selected room.  This prevents individuals or partial groups from filling all of the doubles, triples, and quads.
  
  
• Once you assign yourself to a residence hall room, you will be locked into that assignment until the selection process is completed on April 4, 2008.
  
  

Residence hall selection is not meant to be stressful, and following a few simple guidelines should make the process a lot easier:

1. Log into the Campus Living website. [Please note: you must use a PC with Internet Explorer to access this site.] Verify you assignment time to ensure that your housing deposit has been activated. Encourage your roommates to do the same.
   
   
2. Make sure you have downloaded the housing selection booklet and read through the details of the process carefully.
   
   
3. Be patient. You may experience slower system response during peak sign-up periods.
   
   
4. The Office of Residence Life will remain open until 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11 to answer any additional questions you may have during the housing sign-up process.
