Dear Students,

On Friday, November 7th, the housing selection website will be open for the mid-year program housing selection process. An email will go out tomorrow when the website is available.

Program houses are looking to fill vacancies that have opened due to students going abroad or taking leaves for the spring semester. First-year students are not eligible to participate in the mid-year program housing process. If you are currently in a program house, you are also not able to apply to a different house mid-year since you have made a year-long commitment to your current community.

The link to the Housing Selection website can be found in your e-portfolio under Residential Life and is called “Housing and Staff Selection”. When you enter the site and select the “Program Housing” link from the table, you will only see the applications for the houses with vacancies. If a house is not listed, it means that we do not have any spaces available for the spring. Please make your house preference and complete your application(s) (you are permitted a maximum of 3) and submit them by the deadline. The process timeline is as follows: Friday, November 7^th: Applications are available at Noon (12 p.m.) EST Friday, November 14^th: Applications are due at Noon (12 p.m.) EST Wednesday, November 19^th:  Decisions are released at noon (12 p.m.) EST Tuesday, November 25^th: Decisions need to be confirmed by noon (12 p.m.) EST Monday, December 1^st: Open bid process begins at Noon (12 p.m.)EST Friday, December 5^th: Open bid decisions need to be confirmed by Noon (12 p.m.) EST If you are abroad and have limited internet access and would like to apply, please email us immediately and indicate which houses interest you. The Area Coordinator will then contact you.

Additional information about the selection process can be found in the housing selection website. We encourage you to read this information carefully before you apply. If you have any questions, please contact ResLife at reslife@wesleyan.edu.
