5. How Points Are Figured Out
• Your points will be an equation of your current earned credits and your GPA
weighted with your campus citizenship: leadership (positive weight) and/or your
judicial history (negative weight).
• Points Equation: (Current Credits + GPA cubed) x (campus citizenship %)
• You will receive up to 10% additional points for:
• - Being on the Roster of a college team
• - Being the officer of a club
• - Being a student leader (SGA, Peer Mentor)
• You will lose 10% of your points if you have a judicial responsibility from the
academic school year (category B or higher)

6. Examples of Point Calculations
Example 1: A junior has 76 earned credits and a
2.1 GPA. They are a club officer in the Fashion
Club.
•(76 credits + 2.1 GPA cubed) x (10% for being a
club officer)
•76 points for credits + 9.261 points for GPA =
85.261 points X 1.1 leadership = 93.787 points

7. Examples of Point Calculations
Example 2: A freshman has earned 20 credits and a
3.9 GPA. They are an athlete and an SGA member.
•(20 credits + 3.9 GPA cubed) x (10% for leadership
participation) (not 20% for both, only 10% max)
•20 points for credits + 59.319 points for GPA = 79.319
points x 1.1 for leadership = 87.25 points
Please note example 2 and 4 and the closeness of their accessed points as well as the differences in their
years on campus and participation and GPA.

8. Examples of Point Calculations
Example 3: A sophomore has 45 earned credits with
a 2.3 GPA. They have been documented and found
responsible for alcohol in the fall semester.
•(45 credits + 2.3 GPA cubed) x (-10% for judicial
history)
•45 points for credits + 12.167 points for GPA = 57.167
points x .9 for judicial history = 51.45 points

9. Examples of Point Calculations
Example 4: A junior has 72 credits and a 2.5 GPA.
They are a student leader and were also
documented for smoking in the Residence Halls last
week.
•(72 credits + 2.5 GPA cubed) x (10% leadership and -
10% for judicial)
•72 points for credits + 15.625 points for GPA = 87.625
points x 1 (leadership and judicial cancel) = 87.625
points Please note example 2 and 4 and the closeness of their
accessed points as well as the differences in their years
on campus and participation and GPA.

10. Housing Selection Process
•The Housing Selection Process will take place Thursday,
May 2 Times slot will be posted at later date
•Each application will be given a selection slot based on
the cumulative points of the students on the application.
This means all students points count, not just the person
on your application with the best points.

11. Housing Selection Process
Here are guidelines for room applications:
• You may apply with (1) less than capacity of the room: (3) people for a
quad, (2) people for a triple, and (1) person in a double. Preference will
be given to fully occupied applications first, even if fully occupied
application has less points than the partially occupied application
• If applying for multiple room types (a quad and a double in case all
quads are taken) you must indicate in the appropriate spot on both
applications that you have applied for other room types.

12. Housing Selection Process
Here are guidelines for room applications:
• You may only apply for one type of each room. If you apply for two doubles with
two different people, we will ask which one you would like to count and the
second application becomes a partial application. (Don’t leave your friend high
and dry!)
• All applications will be available for print on the Residence Life Portal after
Thursday, April 25 you can also pick up Room Type applications from the
Residence Life central office in Rosary Hall after that date.

13. What if I can’t be at my slot time?
• If you can’t be at the selection during your slot time, you must
fill out a proxy form. You have two options:
• Have a friend be your Proxy. Fill out the proxy form completely and
sign it. Your Proxy must have the form in hand when selecting your
room
• Have Residence Life be your Proxy. Fill out the Proxy form completely
and submit it to the Residence Life Office in Rosary before close of
business the day before your selection slot.

14. Guzman Doubles
If applying for Guzman Double alone, your points will be doubled
to ensure a fair selection time
If interested in a Guzman double submit a double room type
application with just your information
You will be able to select a Guzman double, but those applying
alone will be given limited options and will have to fill other
vacancies available at their time of selection

15. Important Points Not To Miss
• A waiting list for desired rooms will be started at the room selection process
and will be valid until the opening of the Residence Halls at the fall move in.
• Students who submit late paperwork after the deadline will be place at the
discretion of the Residence Life Department after the selection process is
complete. NO LATE PAPERWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED!!!!! Residence Life will
make every attempt to honor requests, space permitting.
• If handing in multiple room type applications, indicate on each form in the
appropriate place, that you are doing so.
• Applications can be submitted for multiple room types, but a student
cannot submit two applications for the same room type.
