Room Draw 2003 is here!

You will receive a Room Draw 2003 packet in your mailbox this week. Please
retrieve these materials and read them thoroughly as this information is
vitally important to successfully participating in the Room Draw process.
Special attention should be given to all published time lines.

The first important date is FEBRUARY 21, 2003, the deadline for meeting the
housing reservation fee requirement. To meet the reservation fee requirement,
you must confirm the charge of the reservation fee to your student account
online via our web site at http://www.housing.cmu.edu/RoomDraw2003/.
This charge will not post to your student account until July 2003 in time for
your fall 2003 student account statement. It is important for anyone who
wants housing for fall 2003, to confirm the charge of the reservation fee
to qualify to participate in any other phases of Room Draw.

In order to access the reservation fee confirmation page, you will need a
Room Draw password. This password is required to submit your room
deposit and also to receive a random Room Draw lottery number. In order
to retrieve your Room Draw password, please visit the Room Draw 2003
Resources Page at http://www.housing.cmu.edu/RoomDraw2003/ and
click on the link to the Online Reservation Fee Form.

Please save this message as your own friendly reminder should you
happen to need it again in the future.

To reserve your current assignment, return your retention form to Housing
Services, Morewood E Tower, by FEBRUARY 25, 2003. Remember, if you are
retaining your room you will need to bring your completed housing license
agreement. Other addenda may also be required depending on your
residential area. Students residing in Hamerschlag House, Morewood Gardens
E Tower, and designated first-year floors are ineligible to retain, as
these areas will remain first-year housing only.

Please be sure that as you go through the packet, you have one of each of
the following and that you bring the appropriate forms with you if you
participate in any retention phase:

Room Draw Brochure
2002/2003 Rate Sheet
Housing License Agreement
Room Retention Form

If you have questions, please contact Housing Services and a staff person
will be happy to assist you. Your RA can serve as an information source in
addition to the Room Draw Resource Page located at:
http://www.housing.cmu.edu/RoomDraw2003/

Best wishes for a successful Room Draw!

Sincerely,

Adria Greene
Coordinator of Assignment Operations
Housing Services
