Room Sign-Up Process for 2010-2011

Since many of you will be discussing this over the dinner table in the coming weeks, we wanted to provide you with some important information concerning housing for the 2010-2011 school year.

Your student has received information in his/her Webster email that explains how to apply to live on campus again next year. 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 or not he/she is returning to campus housing. If the form is not returned by the deadline, your student may forfeit the $150 security deposit. Housing Intent Forms are due by 5:00PM on Monday, February 1, 2010.

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 18, 19, and 20. At Room Sign-Up, your student will choose a space in housing for next year and will sign a housing contract/lease for 2010-2011 housing. If he/she chooses to cancel that contract/lease after signing it, cancellation charges may apply. These cancellation charges are as follows:
· February 22 - May 1, 2010: NO CHARGE
· May 2 - May 15, 2010: Forfeit Security Deposit ($150)
· May 16 - May 31, 2010 Forfeit Security Deposit ($150) + $100
· June 1 - June 30, 2010 Forfeit Security Deposit ($150) + $200
· July 1 - July 31, 2010 Forfeit Security Deposit ($150) + $400
· August 1 - August 30, 2010 Forfeit Security Deposit ($150) + $600
