e). A month of the year when the applicant anticipates moving in. (This month is the applicant's request, and University Housing cannot guarantee housing during this month.)

WAITING LIST ADMINISTRATION
1.) University Housing will administer the waiting list in a fair and equitable manner. The function of the waiting list will be to identify individuals who need housing at specific times.
2.) The $50.00 application fee entitles the applicant to have his/her name on a maximum of two (2) floor plan lists per property from January to December of any calendar year. This fee is NON-REFUNDABLE should the applicant not attain an apartment.
3.) University Housing will notify applicants who meet the above criteria the month prior to the month that has been requested. University Housing has no way of assessing availability more than one month in advance.
4.) University Housing will make two (2) attempts to contact the applicant once he/she has been identified for housing. Should University Housing receive no reply, the said applicant's name will be removed from the waiting list.
5.) Once the applicant has been assigned an apartment number, he/she will be expected to provide University Housing with a $200.00 deposit within 72 hours. If University Housing does not receive the deposit within the specified time frame, the apartment will be assigned to the next applicant on the waiting list.
6.) University Housing strives to make our residents as content as possible, but due to high demand by students for housing, preferences (i.e. upstairs, downstairs, corner, or middle, etc.) will not be accepted.
