This web interface allows your existing students to select roommates, select rooms, change their personal preferences, view their current and future assignments, purchase dining points, and much more. Your staff set all of the parameters for this web interface from within The Housing Director. You can use this interface to ask questions of your students! They can then respond on-line such that the answer is stored in a user-defined field in the housing database (useful for reporting, e-mail, etc.). Roommate Selection Students go online to select their roommates directly. The system automatically checks to make sure all of the roommate choices match each other, so that a student cannot pick a room if one of their choices did not reciprocate and pick them. Room Selection MyHousing allows you to manage a full on-line room selection process, allowing students to re-select their current room or search real-time for available rooms for themselves and their roommate group. The real-time online room selection is a time-based process, whereby student roommate groups receive a starting time (based on a lottery/priority number) when they are allowed to go to the web and choose a room. They have until the end of the selection process to actually make their selection. Upon submitting the room selection, the roommates are assigned to the room and specified associated room charges are added to their billing record. Students can also view floor plans and room type photos. Some items that can easily be set by your staff:
Dining Students can view their current and future dining plans and points. They can also request a dining plan change and actually purchase additional dining points on-line. Maintenance Student can submit maintenance requests online as well as check on the status of any pending requests for their room. Waiting Lists Students can see where they are (their current relative position) on any waiting lists. Billing Students can view their current and future residence life charges and credits. |
