All General Room Selection (GRS) registration needs to be completed on-line in your electronic portfolio.  You will see your class rank/point value on a table in your electronic portfolio that will look just like the one you will receive on the Room Selection emails.  To participate in the GRS process, you must first agree to the terms of the Housing Contract.  If you are applying to live in Alpha Delta Phi, Psi Upsilon or Delta Kappa Epsilon you must still agree to the terms of the Housing Contract. 

Point values are assigned to a student or a group of students based upon class year.  Class rank/point values are as follows:

Class of 2010 = 3 points
Class of 2011 = 2 points
Class of 2012 = 1 point

In 2006, the Undergraduate Residence Life Committee (URLC) approved adjustments to the assigned point values for particular situations.  If you were not able to select class appropriate housing for the 08-09 academic year during the 2008 GRS process or began the year in a temporary triple, you will receive a slight increase in point value.  Any increase in points will be reflected on your electronic portfolio.  Point adjustments must be used for the GRS process the following year, unless you have been excluded from participating in that GRS process because you have applied for fall study abroad.

The point values for all group members will be averaged for a group point value.  All groups with the same point value are randomly ordered by a computer and assigned selection numbers that will determine the order in which they will choose rooms on Room Selection Nights.

Note: Point values are determined by class standing.  If you have concerns about your class standing please see your Class Dean before April 6, 2009.

Key Definitions:

• Browsing: the period before group ranks are established, when you can peruse the room selection site and available housing options.

• Bookmarking: the period after group ranks are determined, where you can "bookmark" specific places where you would like to live.  These bookmarks are then able to be retrieved by you.  You MUST bookmark a room in order to choose it during the room selection process.

Key points to understand about the General Room Selection Process:

• If you will be a student at Wesleyan University in the fall of 2009, you MUST participate in the GRS process.
• If you currently have off campus status, you must still participate in GRS to obtain off campus status for the 2009-2010 academic year.
• The process is complex and entails several steps.  You must pay close attention to the timeline.  You are responsible for meeting all deadlines.  No exceptions will be made.
• E-mail updates will be sent periodically throughout the process.  Please take a moment to review them when you receive them.
