October 2024 Parent and Family Newsletter

With Fall Break marking the halfway point of the semester for our students, we encourage our students to start thinking and preparing for upcoming breaks in addition to looking ahead to Spring 2025.

In this month’s newsletter, we’ll cover all the need-to-knows for important dates ahead, including Spring Intent.

For our upper class students, the Spring 2025 Housing Processes is currently live. If your student is considering a housing request, they should be aware of the following dates and deadlines outlined below and submit their request via their housing portal. 

  • All students must submit Spring Intent by November 3, 2024
  • Spring 2025 Housing processes run from October 7 to November 3, 2024
    • Students looking to change rooms on campus for the Spring 2025 semester may submit a request.
    • Students who have earned at least four housing credits and want to live off-campus prior to fulfilling the six-semester residency requirement will be able to enter the Off-Campus Lottery.
    • Students with vacancies should either pull in a roommate of choice or expect a student may select that space during Spring Only Housing Selection.
  • Spring Only Housing Selection for students returning to campus will take place on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST via the Housing Portal.

If your student is studying abroad and/or may not be especially tapped into messages from campus at the moment, encourage them to read through their recent emails.

If your Deac is considering going abroad for the semester, you may also find this issue of the Daily Deac helpful as you help them navigate the impact and options of their residential experience, following the transformative experience that is studying abroad.
