Dear Returning Student,

We hope you have had a positive experience living on campus this year. The process for on-campus students to return to housing will be slightly different than in years past. This year’s options for returning student housing will be categorized by your time/credit status on campus. Returning student on-campus options include Chesapeake Hall (CP), Dogwood Village (DV), St. Martin Hall (SM) and University Park (UP - East Campus).

Category A: Current students with 5 or more semesters in housing and/or 90 or more credits at the end of spring 2010 semester will be placed on East Campus: University Park Apartments.

Two interest meetings will be held to discuss your options at University Park on Wednesday, February 10, and Monday, February 15, at 7 p.m. in the University Park Clubhouse. Representatives from University Park and the Office of Housing and Residence Life will be present to answer your questions. This meeting is not mandatory. Parking is limited at University Park. Please consider utilizing the university shuttle.
You are eligible to complete an application for University Park during the priority timeline: Wednesday, February 10, beginning at 8 a.m. through Friday, February 19, at midnight. In order to guarantee a space at University Park, you must fill out an application during this time.
Applications are available for completion during the priority timeline at: http://www.myownapartment.com/universityparkstudent/apply/ . You will be eligible to apply for a 4 bedroom - 2 bath apartment. University Park rates and fees apply.
If a group of students wishes to live together, at least one person must qualify in this category. All students are required to complete an application during the priority timeline.

Category B: Current students with 1-4 semesters in housing and less than 89 credits at the end of spring 2010 semester will be placed in the following residence halls: Chesapeake Hall, Dogwood Village, St. Martin Hall or University Park.

Mandatory interest meetings for the 2010-2011 year will be held starting in late February. Information will be posted in your hall, around campus, via your campus mailbox and SU e-mail. You must attend one of these meetings to be eligible to register for housing.
Students who do not receive an assignment in Chesapeake Hall, Dogwood Village or St. Martin Hall may be assigned to live in University Park.

Students with special circumstances are eligible to petition to live on west campus (CP, DV or SM). Any student petitioning will need to submit a detailed letter outlining your circumstances, in writing to the Housing Office (Chesapeake Hall 1A) no later than Tuesday, February 16, at 5 p.m. Decisions will be made regarding your status by Thursday, February 18, via your SU e-mail account.

*Any student may register to live at University Park at any time, but priority will be given to students in Category A during the designated priority sign–up period (February 10-19).

Sincerely,

David Gutoskey
Director of Housing and Residence Life
