Don&rsquo;t delay signing up for your room when your timeslot window opens. More students are added as each timeslot starts. Students who complete their applications after the last timeslot on June 18 will automatically proceed to room selection. Online room selection will end on August 1. After this date, our office will begin assigning rooms at random to students who have not made a selection.
