What does a new student need to do to prepare for housing for the Fall 2012 (Spring 2013)?
1) Review the Guide for Admitted Students and the Guide for Confirmed Student
2) Review the general area of the website at: housing.ship.edu. Important information is listed under New Students and Residence Halls
3) Sign an online agreement and pay the $200 housing deposit or complete the housing exemption.
4) Students confirmed for housing may participate in roommate requests and room selection as posted in room lotteries.
5) The Housing Office will review housing requests and make assignments beginning in May and release all assignments to incoming students online by August 1st. (For Spring 2013 assignments will be made in December and released online by January 4, 2013)
Returning Students: Housing Selection Housing for the 2012-2013 academic year will begin December 2011. Housing agreements and deposits will be due by February 7, 2012 (1100 spaces available for Returning Students). To view the 2012-2013 housing process go to: Housing Selection 2012 in the Returning Student section of this website.
Request to Change Rooms Students who would like to change their housing assignment can request a form from their Resident Assistant or print the form here. If all roommates are in agreement to the change the request will be forwarded to the Director of Housing for approval. If approved the residents can make the requested change. Students are asked to remain in their assigned space for the first two weeks of each semester. Students are asked to wait until the 2nd week of classes in the semester to begin room changes.
Single Rooms Students may request a single room. Single room requests will be reviewed by the Housing Office after the beginning of each semester. Single rooms are approved individually each semester and do not automatically carry from fall to spring. A separate form should be completed for the spring semester. Single rooms cost an additional 1/2 times the current room rate. The university's goal is to open at capacity; therefore, each student should expect to have a roommate at opening.
Consolidation When a student's roommate moves out during the semester the Housing Office will offer students three options 1) to move to another room 2) to move someone into the room, or 3) to buy the room out as a single room at an addtional cost of 1/2 times the room rate. If the student does not exercise any of these three options the Housing Office has the right to assign a student to the room or ask the student to consolidate to a nearby room.
Withdrawal from Residence Hall Students who withdrawal from the residence hall during the semester need to complete a withdrawal from residence hall form and an RCR (room condition report). Students must also return the room key. Failure to officially check out will prolong the housing charges and/or refund.
