FAQs About Priority Point Process

Priority Point Process?

The Priority Point Process is a program designed to recognize our residents through a chance to select a special room option (for the following fall) based on their length of time in the residence halls, their involvement in leadership opportunities, and academic success.

Why should I participate in the Priority Point Process?

Even though you may currently be in a double-as-single, you won't be able to keep that double-as-single unless it is on a "designated" double-as-single floor OR you are selected as a winner in the Priority Point Process.

So what is a "designated" double-as-single floor?

Several floors, specifically Pine 1st & 2nd, and Oak 1A, are double-as-single floors. Every room on those floors is a double-as-single.

What are special room options?

Special room options are all rooms other than doubles. They include doubles-as-singles, two-person suites, singles, singles-with-baths, and the Linden Hall Suites.

What if I win Priority Points and select a suite? Do I get to pick my suitemate, even though he/she did not participate?

Yes, the other half of your suite would be held for the roommate of your choice, providing that student completes a residential life application and submits the $150 prepayment.

I won't have many points. Should I still participate in the Priority Point Process?

Yes! Even though students with the most points will have better odds of winning in the process, all students who submit a priority point worksheet get entered into the drawing for special room options.

What if I have other questions?

Please contact the Department of Residential Life at #3750 or visit us in Walnut Hall.
