First Year Students
January 28, 2015 by
First-year (new "freshmen") students will live in Living Learning Communities (LLCs), which are clustered together based on the First Year Seminar (FSEM) course in which they are enrolled. The positive effect of learning communities on students' academic success is well documented with significant gains observed in academic performance. Students who live together and share meaningful academic experiences form friendships and boost out-of-the-classroom learning. Because of this substantial benefit, first year students will live with or in close proximity to their LLC in the residence halls. After accepting UMW's offer of admission and paying their deposit, incoming first year students will be emailed (beginning in late February) a link to the First Year Student Questionnaire, an online survey which helps staff identify their FSEM preferences. UMW will work to match students to seminars of their choice. Each of the FSEM courses is associated with a residence hall. Therefore, … [Read more...]
UMW Apartments
January 26, 2015 by
There will be three separate housing selection processes for the UMW Apartments, depending on the room configuration. The first two processes listed are opt-in only; this means all students wishing to be able to participate in this process must log into https://umw-residence.symplicity.com and select "opt-in" for the appropriate process (during the opt-in period only); groups will then be given a time to select an apartment. Further instructions will be communicated to those students who have opted into these processes prior to the process taking place. It is anticipated there will be more groups of students opting into the process than there are apartments to select. Those unable to select will need to select an assignment in a later process. Students selecting UMW Apartments must fill the entire apartment (every bed in every room), and may not add beds to configurations. One Double Room | Opt-in Period: Friday, February 27 - Monday, March 9 | Process Takes … [Read more...]
Eagle Landing Mixed-Sex Apartment Process
January 26, 2015 by
Only current students may choose the Eagle Landing mixed-sex apartment housing assignment during the housing selection process. A group of four current students consisting of two females and two males may choose to live together in one apartment (the females in one double room, and the males in the other double room). Should any student depart their housing assignment, the remaining student group would have 48 hours to find a replacement roommate to fill the vacancy; if a replacement is not found, the roommate of the departing student must move to another housing assignment to allow for the apartment to be available coded as a single-sex apartment for the duration of the academic year. Each of the four students wishing to opt-into this process must submit both their Housing Agreement application and the Eagle Landing Mixed Sex Suite Form, available at https://orgsync.com/59554/forms/131495 by February 27, 2015. … [Read more...]
