Priority Signup 2010
Priority Sign Up is the chance to pick your exact room, hall, and roommate(s) for next fall (2010). The process for 2010 will begin on Monday, November 2, 2009. You will receive a message to your okstate email address with your timeslot. These timeslots are based on a formulation of priority including years in the halls, classification, even GPA. To receive your highest priority, you should sign up as close to this time slot as possible. However, if you miss your time slot, you can still sign up any time after your time slot has opened. Here is a breakdown of the month-long process:
Renew Your Current Bedspace/Room
Week 1: Monday, November 2 - Thursday, November 5
This is the time that you will go online and let us know that you want to continue to live in your same room or unit. We will email you a time slot. This time slot is just to help us spread everyone out so that our servers don't crash. You will not be able to select your room until that time, but you can select it at any point after that time. Your room is safe during this week, but don't wait until after November 6. Anytime after Nov. 6 your room is fair game. You can also go online and complete all of the steps ahead of time, and when your time comes you can then select your room.
You can also select your roommate(s) ahead of time in the Roommate Manage function. You can either add your known roommate(s) or search for a roommate. Just be sure that you and your chosen roommate(s) are ÒconfirmedÓ in the system. This is the language that the system uses to ensure that all roommate requests are mutual. You can do all of this ahead of time (which we recommend), and then select your room once your time slot opens.
Renew a Bedspace in Your Same Hall
Week 2: Monday, November 9 - Thursday, November 12
If you want to live in a room/bed space in the same hall, you can move around this week. Once again, we will send you an email with a time slot. This time slot is based on a series of priority rankings. To receive your highest priority, you should sign up as close to your time slot as possible. However, you can sign up any time after your time slot has opened. If you signed up during the first week, and you want to try for another room during this week, you will need to cancel your first reservation and sign up again. The system will only allow you to have one reservation at a time. Remember, you can complete most of the process ahead of time, including confirming your roommates.
Renew a Bedspace in Any Hall
Weeks 3 & 4: Monday, November 16 - Wednesday, November 25
These weeks you can sign up for a bed space in any available bed space in any hall. Any rooms that have not been assigned as a result of the first two weeks of the process will be available for renewal. Again, you will be send a time slot, and it will be based on priority. Just like last week, if you signed up for a space before and you want to try for a new space, you will have to cancel your previous reservation. As with the other steps, you can get a head start by completing the steps ahead of time including confirming your roommates.
You will not have to pay any deposit to complete your Priority Sign Up Process. If you participated last year, you paid your $150 deposit, and that deposit will be carried forward until you leave campus housing. For new freshmen, you paid the $150 deposit when you made your initial contract, and it too will carry forward until you graduate or until leave campus housing. However, if you sign up during Priority Sign Up and do not return to the halls, you will be charged a $75 processing fee, and you may be subject to other buyout conditions.
Living Learning Communities
Another thing: Rooms in the Living Learning Communities will be taken off line to ensure that there are spaces for the incoming freshmen class and upperclass students of that major or interest. However, if you would like to move to one of the many LLCs please DO NOT COMPLETE THE ONLINE PROCESS. Simply go to the Housing and Residential Life Office in Iba Hall and one of the helpful employees will assist you in completing your contract. They are open Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
If you have any questions, please ask any Residential Life staff member. Again, thank you for choosing to live on campus!
Thanks!
