As of today, September 13, 2006, ALL 49 temporary housing students have been given permanent assignments and only 4 more moves need to be completed. We hope and anticipate that all temporary housing students will be moved into their permanent assignments by this Saturday, September 16.

Our staff is working as quickly as possible to move the third set of furniture out of Donner rooms following the relocation of the temporary resident. This afternoon Facilities will be conducting a second sweep through Donner to remove the third set of furniture from rooms where the temp resident moved out within the past week. If you are a host resident whose temp housing resident moved out over a week ago and the excess furniture is not removed during the sweep this afternoon, please send me an e-mail to let me know, and we will arrange to have that furniture removed.

Extra furniture for moves occurring tomorrow and Saturday will be removed sometime next week.

We will be collecting all box fans and internet hubs following the move of the temporary residents. If the internet hub was in use when the excess furniture was being removed, it's likely that the hub was left in the room. If you still have your hub (but the third resident has since moved out) we are asking that you please return the hub to the Housing and Dining Services office located on the ground floor of Morewood E-tower. You can leave the hub with the front desk staff or to me - please just make sure to let us know what room the hub is from!

Box fans will be picked up by facilities if they haven't already been collected.

Residents who have chosen to remain in a permanent triple or quad accommodation can keep their internet hub for the remainder of the time that the room is occupied as a triple/quad. However, if you wish to keep your box fan, please respond to this e-mail and let me know. We will be adding that to your Electronic Living Space Condition Report to ensure that it's returned at the end of the academic year.

Within the next few weeks, we will be asking for feedback from those who were involved in temporary housing this year. Your feedback is important to us in improving temporary housing in the future! Start thinking now about your experience with temporary housing and hold those thoughts for our survey!

More information about the evaluation will be sent out within the next week or so.

Billing

The first round of billing prorations has already occurred for individuals who moved (or whose temp housing resident moved) during the month of August. A second round of billing updates will be occurring this week and the final round of adjustments will occur next week once all temp housing moves have been completed. Prorations for hosts will be based on the number of days that the temp resident occupied the space. Adjustments for temp residents will be based on the cost of their permanent assignment.

Residents who are remaining in a triple or quad will see a 20% reduction in charges on their student account. They will receive this reduction for as long as all three/four residents remain in the triple/quad. An adjustment for each resident in the room will occur if any one of the residents moves out of the space during the normal room change process.

Next week's Temp Housing Update will most likely be the last! I hope that you've found the information contained in these mailing useful and informative.

Sincerely,
