All incoming students will show a “not complete” application until our office assigns housing in the summer. However, the agreement becomes binding once the terms and conditions have been accepted.
LOCATION: Boone Avenue Retail Center (BARC)
WHY DOES MY APPLICATION SHOW AS NOT COMPLETED?
WHY WON’T SOME OF THE BUBBLES ON THE APPLICATION “COMPLETE”?
Some sections of the housing application remain open so students may make changes through mid-June. It is okay that they are not complete.
WHEN WILL I KNOW MY ROOM AND ROOMMATE?
Tentative building assignments are sent early- to mid-July. Room confirmation and roommate contact info are sent early- to mid-August.
I SUBMITTED MY DEPOSIT EARLY BUT DID NOT GET MY TOP CHOICE. WHY? Priority in the assignment process is based on the date the Housing Application Terms and Conditions are accepted, not the date admissions confirmation or housing deposits are submitted.
I AM AN “EARLY ACTION ADMIT,” BUT DID NOT GET MY TOP CHOICE. WHY? The demand for some living communities and housing styles exceed the supply. While we try to honor your preferences, assignment to a specific building, living-style, or with a preferred roommate is not guaranteed.
WHEN DO I CHECK-IN?
New students are encouraged to check-in on Friday, August 25, 2017 as part of Orientation Weekend. Exact times of move in are available on our Move-in webpage at www.gonzaga.edu/move-in.
