NEW AND IMPROVED ONLINE HOUSING APPLICATION LAUNCHED
Applying for housing just got easier with the latest
enhancements to the online application process. Starting this
semester, students can complete their housing application,
payments and service agreement all at once, making the process
more convenient for future residents as well as housing staff.
�We are very excited about the new online application and
agreement process,� said Don Yackley, Executive Director for
Residential Life and Housing. �It allows us to better serve our
students. It�s paperless, it�s fast and it�s easier.�
Future residents will now be able to finish the application
process during one login session which will lead them
step-by-step as they enter their information, pay deposits and
fees, select a meal plan, choose facility preferences and sign
the Residence Hall Service Agreement using an electronic
signature. With the former process, students had to login
several times to the system and were also required to print and
scan or fax their housing agreements to the housing office. This
new process is also eliminating the use of paper, saving time
for the residents and office staff while also allowing the RLH
office to go green.
Once the applicants complete their agreement and pay the deposit
and application fee, they will be able to select their room for
next year. The online system will show the applicants a list of
their room and facility options based on their classification
and room availability. If applicants have a roommate preference,
they can each select the same room at this time.
Applicants who do not complete the entire process in one sitting
will also be able to log back into the system to pick up where
they left off. The RLH staff has been working on completing this
online application and agreement system for many months in order
to better serve the residents and simplify the application
process.
