Housing Selection Information



The Housing Selection ProcessBurrstone House

The Office of Residence Life's Housing Selection Process is the primary method for all returning students to individually select their room for the upcoming Fall semester.  Participation in the process is open to all full time Utica College students (Graduate and Undergraduate) and providing that they follow the necessary requirements and deadlines of the process, they will be guaranteed housing for upcoming year. 

Residing on campus at Utica College contributes greatly to positive development of the entire campus community and the Housing Selection process has been designed to mirror those contributions.  By succeeding academically and maintaining a positive presence on campus and within the residence halls students will be able to receive a higher priority status when selecting their rooms.  In addition, we provide incentive for our junior and senior tudents to remain on campus by basing the Housing Selection Process on class standing.  For a complete breakdown of how the Housing Selection Process works, read through the Housing Selection Booklet, as it lists all the dates, policies, and requirements specific to the process. 

Additional questions about the Housing Selection Process can be directed to Michael Fogarty, Interim Director of Residence Life, at 315-792-3285 or mfogarty@utica.edu.

Please check back to this site periodically as important updates will be posted here regarding the Housing Selection Process.


New for the 2008-2009 selection process:

Online Applications
This year all housing applications will be submitted online! Inside you will learn more about this exciting addition—which allows for greater efficiency in processing applications and faster distribution of your group priority number.
Class Registration Requirement
This year all students who participate in the Housing Selection Process must be registered for full time status (12 or more credits) for the Fall 2008 semester at the time the Housing Selection process occurs. 
Condensed Timeline
This year the Housing Selection Process will occur over a two week time period, much less than the 4 weeks (or longer) than in the past. This was in response to student feedback and the creation of our next major initiative.
