Residential Life

The Fall 2014 Housing Preference form is in your e-portfolio under “Residential Life”. We will begin this process on June 2, 2014.  In order to take advantage of this early movement, you should complete your preference form by Sunday, June 1st.

Various housing vacancies will occur throughout the summer.  Students who want to change their housing assignment and students who did not receive housing are eligible to complete a Preference Form. If you participated in Room Selection Nights, ALL members of your GRS group must fill out this form if you want to move as a group. 

Students who participated in Room Selection Nights and received a room, can only preference a different type of housing (i.e. ResLife will not honor requests to move from a single-occupancy residence hall room to another; however if you are in a double occupancy-room you can request a single-occupancy room). Students are moved based on rank number and availability of space.

ResLife will begin contacting students via email in early to mid June as options become available and will continue until August 15, 2014.

If you have any questions please contact Residential Life at 860-685-3550 or reslife@wesleyan.edu.

Hello from ResLife!

Rising sophomores will select housing on:   Thursday, April 10, 2014 from 6:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.   Ranks 367 – 597

We will send an email the day before your selection day with your appointment time. Room Selection Nights will be in Usdan 108 and 110. You will need to bring your WesId or a photo Id when you check in for your appointment.

Please check-in by going to Usdan 108 at your appointment time. If you arrive early, you should wait in the café area as the area in front of Usdan 108 and 110 is too small.

It is important that you and your group come prepared to your selection night. Part of the preparation process should be creating plans and making ranked lists of what you have bookmarked.  When you check-in, you will have to show the staff either a printed bookmark list printed from the selection website or an electronic PDF on a phone, tablet or laptop.

Please make sure you bookmark as much possible so you and our staff have ample options for you to choose from at your appointment. 

If you cannot be present when your group is called, make sure at least one person from your group is present. Contact Residential Life if you need to designate a Proxy to select for you. Students should NOT miss an academic class to participate in room selection.

Please contact ResLife if you have any questions at reslife@wesleyan.edu or 860-685-3550.  Good luck in the process!

When you return from spring break, the housing selection process will be continuing. Below is information related information session and important deadlines for the selection process.  Information about Open Bid, Community Standard Workshops, and Room Selection Nights Registration can be found in the Housing Selection website in your e-portfolio. Please let us know if you have any questions at reslife@wesleyan.edu
