Common use of Room Assignment / Selection Clause in Contracts

Room Assignment / Selection. WSU agrees to provide students a space in a residence hall and contracted meals under the following terms and as described in this Agreement. The $250 pre- payment and a signed Agreement need to be received to select (or be assigned) a room. New student is defined as someone who has never lived in WSU residence halls. Returning Student is defined as someone who has lived in WSU residence halls and would like to apply to live on campus again. Room selection for new students will be determined by the date the Housing Agreement and $250 pre-payment are submitted to WSU, whichever date is later. Students who submit their signed Housing Agreement and $250 pre-payment by May 1 will get to select their room on their Housing Portal during the room and meal plan selection process in May. Students who apply after May 1, or do not pick a room during room selection, will be assigned a room by the Housing Office after the initial room selection period has ended. No specific assignment based on a student’s preference is guaranteed. Failure to honor such requests is not a breach of this Agreement and will not void the Agreement. For specific roommates, both students must have a signed Agreement and have made the $250 pre-payment to create a roommate group. Roommate groups must be created and verified by May 1 in their Housing Portal. Students in a roommate group will receive the same time slot for room selection. Time slots for roommate groups are based on the average of the two students signed Agreement dates. The $250 pre-payment and signed Agreement need to be received by both students to select a room. Roommate groups are a maximum of two students. Priority room selection for returning students begins early October for students wanting to return the residence halls for the following year. Students can refer to the returning student room selection process outlined on the website. • WSU reserves the right to change your assignment for reasons of health, safety, need for repair services, vacancy consolidation, disciplinary sanctions, or unresolvable incompatibility of roommates. WSU will determine if you, your roommate, or both, will be reassigned. • Room change requests can be submitted on your Housing Portal during specified times • Requests can be submitted June 1 – July 15 and will be accommodated prior to the start of the Fall term, if possible. • After the Agreement start date, you may request a room change after the 10th class day of the semester in accordance with our published procedures. • Unapproved room changes, failure to follow proper room change procedures, or failure to properly complete a room change request will result in a $50 administrative fee, you will be required to return to your assigned space (if you moved improperly) and may result in the forfeiture of any future room change privileges.
