To make the room selection process easier it has been broken down into four phases.
Phase One: Intent to Return to Campus Housing
If you are planning on living on campus again for the upcoming academic year, you will need to complete your Intent to Return to Campus Housing through RoomRez (located on the Inside Loyola page). The open enrollment period to declare your Intent to Return to Campus Housing for 2013-2014 is February 4 - 11, 2013. You will need to log in to your Inside Loyola account and click on the link called RoomRez Housing Portal using your Loyola Username and Password. During this phase, you will apply for housing for the upcoming academic year, and update your home and emergency contact information. You will then have the opportunity to sign your housing contract for the upcoming academic year. If you do not sign your contract you will not be able to complete this phase or be pulled into a roommate group and therefore will not be able participate in room selection. If you complete your Intent to Return to Campus Housing by the spring deadline, you will be given the opportunity to form your roommate group online. Please keep in mind that all students must complete Phase One in order to be pulled into a roommate group.
Phase Two: Roommate Group Formation/Verification
At this time, students will need to form roommate groups. Each group will designate a group leader to create the group, and assign a username and password for the group. Once this is done, the group leader will then assign students to the group or give the group members the username and password they set up for the group so they may join the group themselves. The group representative must be the one to choose the room during the assigned timeslot. You will need to log in to your Inside Loyola account and click on the link called RoomRez Housing Portal to form your roommate group. Please remember that only full roommate groups (2, 4, 6, or 8) will be able to choose a room during room selection. Incomplete groups will be placed once online room selection has ended. Once the group is complete, the group leader will need to log in and verify the group in order to proceed to Phase Four. This phase will occur from February 18 - 25, 2013.
Phase Three: Housing Deposit
In order to secure a place in our residence halls Loyola University Maryland requires a housing deposit of $300 be paid by March 1, 2013. Payments will need to be made directly to Student Administrative Services.
Phase Four: Room Selection
All roommate groups will be assigned a timeslot for room selection. The group leader should watch their Loyola email account for an email with the group’s assigned room selection time slot. Much like registration for class, you will not have access to the room selection process until your schedule time. You will need to log in to your Inside Loyola account and click on the link called RoomRez Housing Portal during your assigned room selection timeslot. Once online the roommate group leader will then choose a room for your group and assign group members to specific bedrooms. Rising seniors selection will take place March 20-21, 2013. Rising juniors will choose rooms from March 25 - 26, 2013. Rising sophomores will select April 8-9, 2013.
Once you have selected your room assignment, you will not be able to change your assignment. If you do not select your room assignment during your assigned time slot Student Life will assign you after all the room selection process for all eligible students is complete. This may involve breaking up your roommate group and may not occur until later this summer depending on space.
Please note that students who will be participating in the Special Interest Housing Process (Substance Free Housing and Ad Infinitum), will only complete Phase One online. Applications for Substance Free Housing and Ad Infinitum will be available in the Office of Student Life February 4-18, 2013 or by clicking on the application below. Please note that those applying for Ad Infinitum will need to sign-up for an interview when you drop off your completed application.
