The Housing Accommodation Committee works closely with the Director of Disability Services.

Room Selection Proxy Form
This form is NOT available online and may be obtained only in residence life. Any current UPPERCLASS student who wishes to select a room for the fall but who cannot attend the designated session during Room Selection should choose a proxy. The proxy will be responsible choosing a room on behalf of the student who could not attend. The student who cannot attend the lottery session needs to come to residence life to obtain both a proxy form and a housing contract.
If you would like to stay in your current room but your current roommates are moving out, you will need to have a Room Concession Form completed for Lottery. This form has all of the criteria listed at the top of the page.
You must have all current roommates sign the form if they are not staying with you in that room. You must also have a full compliment of roommates prepared for next year in order to reserve the room.
