Returning Resident Day is March 7, beginning at 9am. Residents may turn in License Agreements and payments until May 4. Returning Residents License Agreements will not be accepted prior to 9am on March 7 or after 5pm on May 4.
Where will I turn in my License Agreement?
License Agreement may be turned in during Returning Resident Day on March 7, 2012 in the Seven Hills Conference Center, beginning at 9am. After Returning Resident Day, License Agreements should be turned in at the Housing Business Office, located in Mary Ward Hall.
I can't attend Returning Resident Day. What do I do?
Returning Resident License Agreements can be turned in by a proxy. The proxy must have completed paperwork in order to turn it in. Residents are also able to stand in line for a ticket, with completed paperwork, and bring the License Agreement back later in the day if necessary. License Agreements will be accepted in the Housing Business Office after Returning Resident Day until May 4.
Will I receive a space for next year if I turn in my license on March 7? Am I guaranteed a space if I participate in Returning Resident Process?
Housing is at no time guaranteed, and is granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Returning Residents who participate in the Returning Resident process have the best chance of receiving the housing placement of their choice.
How much do I need to pay in order to return?
The initial payment is $1200, and is due by May 4. If payment is not made by May 4, the Returning Resident License Agreement will be cancelled.
Do I need to make an initial payment on March 7?
The initial payment is due by May 4. If payment is not made by May 4, the Returning Resident License Agreement will be cancelled.
Can I drop my License Agreement in the Housing Office drop box?
License Agreements can be left in the drop box after regular business hours between March 7 and May 4. After March 7, License Agreements left in the drop box will be processed as of the next business day. Incomplete License Agreements, or those dropped before March 7 will not be processed, and will be returned.
How will Housing determine priority?
Housing remains a first-come, first-served process. When a License Agreement is turned in, Returning Residents will be given part of a numbered ticket, while the other part is attached to the License Agreement. Please note that residents may collect a ticket for a friend or roommate, but only one for each set of completed paperwork.
Can I pick my preferred roommate?
Returning Residents may choose roommates and apartment-mates on the License Agreement. In order to be placed together, all residents must choose one another with full names and SF State ID numbers. Residents should make sure they are picking a room and apartment type that matches their potential roommates (for example, four students cannot all ask for single occupancy rooms). Residents should also be sure to mark that they would like to have their roommate preference honored over their room type preference in the appropriate area of the License Agreement.
When will my space be confirmed for next Fall?
Space confirmations will be emailed to all Returning Residents who have completed the Returning Resident process in early June. The housing office will confirm returning residents on a first-come, first-served basis. If spaces are full, a waitlist will begin for residents who have made a payment by May 4. Residents on the paid waitlist will then be contacted as spaces open. No student will be confirmed or placed on the waitlist without payment by May 4.
I can't decide if I want to return. Can I turn in my paperwork at any time?
Returning Residents must turn in a License Agreement and make a payment by May 4 in order to maintain Returning Resident priority. After May 4, License Agreements will be accepted but will be processed with the New Resident License Agreements.
How about if I change my mind and decide not to return?
Cancellation of the License Agreement must be made in writing, via online form, email or letter. For full refund, cancellation must be made 30 days prior to move-in. Partial refunds may be available after this point.
