Welcome to the Room Selection process for the 2009-2010 academic year.  The online housing selection program, MyHousing, can be accessed through the Student Resources tab of your Gateway.  On this program, students can view their lottery time, set roommate preferences, view available housing options, and select a housing assignment.  There are three major steps in order to complete the online housing process:

• Roommate preferencing
• Exploring room options
• Room selection

Please read through the information on this page and in the attached documents, as it will answer most of your questions.  If you still have questions, please attend one of the information sessions, stop by the Office of Campus Life during normal business hours, or email us at campuslife@dickinson.edu.

Housing Forms:
Proxy Form
In the event a student needs a proxy because they cannot select housing at their appointed time, the student with the best lottery time needs to complete a Proxy Request form.  All proxy requests are due by 4:30pm, Thursday, April 16th to the Office of the Campus Life.

Roommate Search Sheet
Students searching for a roommate can complete and submit a Roommate Search Sheet.  Completed Roommate Search Sheets are kept on file in the Office of Campus Life and students may stop by to view and/or select a roommate from these sheets.

• The Office of Campus Life will also be sponsoring a Roommate Search Mixer on April 17th at 4:30pm in Rector Atrium, to allow students to meet and talk with other students looking for roommate/room options.  

Roommate Preference and Agreement Card
All roommate groups will be required to complete a Roommate Preference and Agreement Card.  This card is available at the Office of Campus Life. Roommate Preference and Agreement Cards are due to the Office of Campus Life by April 17th at 4:30pm.
