Lottery Number Notification
Rising juniors and seniors are randomly selected to receive either a lottery number or a wait list number. If you apply with a mutual roommate set, all members of the group will receive an individual lottery number OR all will receive an individual wait list number.
Housing & Residential Life will both e-mail and mail your individual lottery or wait list number the week of January 26th, to your on-campus address if you currently reside on campus, or to your local address if you currently reside off-campus. Should you be randomly selected to receive a lottery number, the housing deposit is due by Wednesday, February 6th at noon. You will receive further information in the notification mailing about submitting your housing deposit and when you are scheduled to participate in Housing Selection.
If you receive a wait list number, you will receive information in the notification mailing about the wait list process and off-campus housing alternatives.
Housing Selection and Placement
The rising juniors and seniors, who receive a lottery number, will be scheduled to select their space on-line between the dates of February 17 - 27. At the time you are scheduled to select your room, you and your roommate set (if applicable) will make your Fall 2009 room selection from the spaces that are available at your scheduled time.
More specific instructions will be included in the notification sent the week of January 26th.
Deposit Information
Members of the class of 2010 and 2011 can submit a housing application on-line at myNEU.neu.edu prior to noon on January 14, 2009 Since rising juniors and seniors are not guaranteed housing, you will either receive a lottery or waitlist number. Students who receive a lottery number will be required to submit a deposit by February 6, 2009 at noon in order to secure a place in the selection process.
The housing deposits are: $200 for Fall and $200 for Spring. Students must deposit for each semester in which they wish to live on campus during the 2009-2010 academic year.
For example: Fall ($200) + Spring ($200) = $400
Please note that if you contract with an outside vendor to pay University bills (i.e., AMS Payment Plan), this payment plan WILL NOT cover housing deposits, so you will be responsible for paying these deposits for the semesters you request. If additional semesters of housing are requested after January 14, 2009, housing deposits will only be accepted on a space-available basis. Please contact Housing & Residential Life if you have a credit on your account that you wish to transfer for future semesters.
Summer 2010 Session Deposit Information: New this year, we will not be launching the Summer 2010 housing application process until Fall 2009. Look for information regarding how to apply and deposit for summer housing in the fall.
Summer 2009 Session Deposit Information: If you wish to deposit for Summer 2009, you can do so at anytime!
Cancellation Information
The University provides on-campus and leased accommodations that are assigned each semester. Students are billed at the beginning of each semester and are obligated to pay the full charge for the term. The dynamic nature of the co-op program makes it necessary for Housing & Residential Life to enforce its Cancellation Policy strictly. Housing confirmation letters are mailed each semester with a reminder that students must notify Housing & Residential Life if they do not plan to accept their assignment.
Failure to respond or to provide timely written notification of cancellation will result in a charge to students for their assigned space (i.e., if you are assigned to a room with a rate of $4,585 and you cancel your housing on 6/20/09, you will be assessed 50% of your room rate, which is $2,293 - NOT 50% OF YOUR DEPOSIT for fall term). If the cancellation deadline has passed, students who can demonstrate a significant change in academic, co-op, financial, or personal circumstances may petition to have this fee waived. If you are assessed a cancellation fee, it will be posted to your account in Student Central at 120 Hayden Hall typically after the second week of the semester in question.
