Room Draw Procedures Guidelines for Selecting a Room for Fall SemesterThe following guidelines will govern the room selection process for the residence halls, apartments, and townhouses for the 2012-13 academic year. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Student Life Office on Monday-Friday, 8:30 am-4:30 pm. Room Draw Procedures
Room draws will take place on Monday, April 23 and Wednesday, April 25 in the Glen Johnson Center, beginning at 6:30 p.m. See assigned times listed under “General Room Drawing” information. All students going through the open room selection process will receive their room draw number (assigned randomly by the computer) in their Thiel post office box prior to room selection dates. Please check with the Records Office if you are unsure of your correct class year as room draw times are based on class year. If your class year is incorrect you need to go to the Records Office (1st floor, Roth Hall) and have your class year corrected and then notify the Office of Student Life of your correct class year. This must be completed before you choose a room for Fall Term. If your intended roommate has a higher class year and/or number than you, you may select a room by going to room draw with the person with the best number (#1 draws first, then #2, etc.).
Any student who has paid the $100 room deposit, has registered for fall 2012 classes, and is in good financial standing (i.e., has NO past due balances owed to the college).
Student housing for 2012-13 falls into three categories—theme housing (through a special application in advance and includes Greeks, clubs, and organizations), apartments and townhouses, and residence halls. All residence halls are co-ed by floor or wing. Apartments and townhouses are co-ed by building not by rooms within an apartment. Freshman: Flo West, Harter, Sawhill, and Hodge Hall will be available to new students only. Upperclassmen: Apartments and townhouses, as well as Bane Hall and Stewart Hall, are available for Fall 2012 to male and female Upperclass students during room selection. A limited number of efficiencies, one bedroom (2 persons) and two bedroom (3 or 4 persons) apartments are available in the Davis Square Apartment complex and in College Avenue apartments. Townhouses will house up to 5 students (minimum of 3 eligible students to hold a townhouse on the evening of room draw). Theme housing applications are available in the Office of Student Life and are due by March 30, 2012. Limited options are offered for selection of individual rooms which will apply to all houses and halls. Cost is PER STUDENT. Residence Halls (Harter, Florence West, Sawhill, Bane, Stewart): Double occupancy (2 persons) - $5,060 per person per year Single occupancy (1 person) - $6,760 per person per year Residence Halls (Newly Renovated Hodge Hall): Double occupancy (2 persons) - $5,500 per person per year Single occupancy (1 person) - $7,200 per person per year Davis Square Apts.

Theme Houses (including Frats 1 and 2, Hunton Hall): Cost is based on TOTAL OCCUPANCY of house and is divided into three levels. Specific house occupancies are listed below. Cost is PER STUDENT.
*Private rooms are limited with medical privates having first priority at the additional private room rate. All special medical housing accommodation requests must be made through the Disability Services Office (contact Tressa Snyder at 724-589-2063). Note: If apartments and townhouses are not filled to specific capacity options you will be charged a higher rate than is listed. Example: Townhouse with two person occupancy will be an additional charge. Those persons not assigned a private room, but desiring one, will be placed on a waiting list. If additional private rooms become available, those on the waiting list will have the opportunity of moving into a private room in August or September. NO STUDENT MAY OCCUPY A SINGLE ROOM WITHOUT PAYING FOR THAT PRIVILEGE. If your roommate fails to return to campus in the fall and you are unable to find a roommate, the Office of Student Life will assist you in finding a roommate (please see your student handbook for more information). The second set of furniture MUST be left in student rooms even if a room is occupied by one student. In fairness to students paying for the privilege of a private room, NO PRIVATE ROOMS WILL BE OCCUPIED DURING 2012-13 ACADEMIC YEAR WITHOUT APPROPRIATE PAYMENT. A student paying for double occupancy must have a roommate. All special medical housing accommodation requests must be made through the Disability Services Office (contact Tressa Snyder at 724-589-2063). Groups desiring to live together in a designated area (Greeks, clubs and/or organizations, etc.) may apply for theme housing. Applications and specific information is available in the Office of Student Life. How are General Room Drawings Conducted? Individual room selection for men and women will be held during date and times listed below. Students or their representative must be present to select a room. All students must be registered for fall classes in order to select a room, must have paid their $100 deposit, and must be in good financial standing. If you are unable to attend and are sending a representative, please let the Office of Student Life know in advance. Your representative MUST have your signed Room Draw form with them in order to choose housing for you. Theme house selection will be posted in the Student Life Office by Thursday, April 5, 2012 and all theme houses will have to turn in their final floorplans by April 11, 2012. Students in theme housing will NOT go through Room Draw. Below is the date and time of room drawing for your class in the Glen Johnson Center: Dec. 2012 Grads (Or any Current Seniors) Monday, April 23, 2012 6:30 pm Class of 2013 (Current Juniors) Monday, April 23, 2012 7:00 pm Class of 2014 (Current Sophomores #1-100) Monday, April 23, 2012 8:00 pm Class of 2014 (Current Soph. #101 and up) Wed., April 25, 2012 6:30 pm Class of 2015 (Current Freshman) Wed., April 25, 2012 7:15 pm I If your roommate does not return for the fall or spring semester you have the option of choosing a roommate of your choice or if a private room is available you have the option of selecting the private room at the additional charge. However, if you do not choose a roommate or refuse an assigned roommate you will be charged the additional fee for the private room. No room changes may be made without prior approval of the Housing Office. Room change forms are available in the Housing Office. Unauthorized room changes will result in a fine of $25.00 per day. If you have any questions regarding the above, contact the Office of Student Life, HMSC or consult your 2012-2013 Student Handbook for room change guidelines and fees. ***THIEL COLLEGE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ASSIGN ROOMS AND ROOMMATES AND EXPECTS ALL STUDENTS TO RESPECT ITS PROPERTY AND FURNISHINGS.

Summer school housing will be available on a first-come, first-serve, space available basis. All rooms will have maximum occupancy for the summer.

If you are employed on campus for the summer (a minimum of 20 hours per week) housing cost will be $50 per week. Contact the Office of Student Life, HMSC, for housing assignment.
