You should receive information about this in the mail in the next couple weeks as well, but we wanted to make sure we got the word out in as many places as possible.
Since many of you will be discussing Room Sign-Up for 2009-2010 over the dinner table in the coming weeks, we wanted to provide you with some important information concerning housing for the 2009-2010 school year. First of all, your student has received information in his/her mailbox, on his/her apartment door, or in his/her Webster email that explains how to apply to live on campus again next year. Here are some of the key points and important deadlines related to that information:
- If your student’s permanent address is outside 35 miles from the Webster Groves campus, it is mandatory that he/she live on campus for his/her first two years.
- Included in the paperwork your student received was a Housing Intent Form. This form must be returned to the Office of Housing and Residential Life, whether he/she is returning to campus housing or not. If the form is not returned, your student may forfeit the $150 security deposit.
- Housing Intent Forms are due by 4:30PM on Monday, February 2, 2009.
- The Housing Intent Form is not an actual housing assignment. Your student will receive an email giving him/her an assigned date and time for Room Sign-Up, which takes place February 19, 20, and 21.
- At Room Sign-Up, your student will choose a space in housing for next year and will sign a housing contract/lease for 2009-2010 housing. If he/she chooses to cancel that contract/lease after signing it, cancellation charges may apply.
If you have additional questions about the Room Sign-Up process, please don’t hesitate to contact us (314-246-4663 or housing@webster.edu). There is also a more extensive list of information regarding this process on our website: http://www.webster.edu/housing/apply.shtml#fall09
