| Links | Housing Assignment System | ||
|
To be assigned housing new students must complete a
housing application during the application period. The housing assignment
system then takes all of the completed applications and places them in date
order. The date used to organize the applications is the admission deposit
paid date. Each new student to Salisbury University paid a $200 admission
acceptance fee to signify they were planning on attending SU. Once
applications are in date order the system begins to assign each student.
The questions answered on the application are used to assist in determining
the student placement. If space in not available in the student’s first
choice then the second choice is considered, so forth and so on. If there is
no space available in any of the student’s choices the most comparable
building type is chosen and the student is assigned. |
||
| Roommate Preference Request | |||
|
Students are able to include a preference for a
particular roommate on their housing application. The request must be made
by using the other persons student ID number when the application is completed. The ID number
is assigned to each student as they apply for admission to Salisbury
University. Please understand that it is a request and not a guarantee of
the roommate assignment. Students are assigned based on the admission
deposit paid date. The later the deposit paid date the less likely we will
be able to honor the students preference to live together. |

| Random Roommate Matching | |||
|
Salisbury University’s Office of Housing and Residence Life wants you to have a positive roommate experience. During the application process you will be asked to answer a few lifestyle questions. These questions along with your building preferences will assist us in pairing you with your roommate. Lifestyle Questions We do not pair roommates based on geographic location, race, religion or music preference. Students can have differences in the previously mentioned areas and still function well as roommates if they have similar wake/sleep schedules, organization styles etc. When you receive your housing assignment and
roommate(s) information in the mail it is important to make contact with
them. Do not go directly to My Space or Facebook, you should call your
roommate(s) and talk to them. Information found on these pages can easily
be taken out of context and mislead you as to what your roommate is actually
like. |
|||
| Roommate Contracts | |||
|
All students will complete roommate contracts at the beginning of the year
or when they are assigned a new roommate. The roommate contract gives
each student an opportunity to sit down and have a formal conversation with
the person(s) they are living with to outline how they want to live in the
room. It is important to be honest when filling out the roommate
contract because this document will be referred to if problems arise in the
room. (attach a copy of the roommate K). |
|||
| Roommate Concerns | |||
|
If you are experiencing problems with your roommate it is important for you
to go to your RA (resident assistant) or building director and talk to them.
They are trained to assist you in working through the problems you may be
having.
The room change request process is initiated with the building director. They will work with the student(s) initially thru conflict resolution and mediation. If this is not successful then a room change request can be submitted. It is important to remember to communicate with your roommate honestly about what you are comfortable with going on in the room as well as if things are bothering you as the year goes on. Your roommate can not change behavior they don't know is bothering you. |
|||
| Room Change Requests | |||
|
Students who wish to change rooms need to see their building director.
The building director will talk to the student about their request and
advise the student if any steps are necessary before the room change can be
submitted. The student will be notified by the building director if
the room change has been approved and arrange the check-out/check in
process at that time.
There is a "room freeze" from the time students receive their assignments until third week of school. Any room change requests during the semester are ranked in a priority order and are done by space availability. There are times we are 100% occupied and are not able to move students. Students who want to move mid-year should speak to their building director to submit the change request. If students are requesting to move because they are not getting along with their roommate, it is important that the roommate concerns be documented by the building staff. If students are granted a mid-semester or mid-year move request please
visit the housing
operations page to make sure you complete all of the necessary steps. |
