Good Afternoon -

We hope you are doing well and had a wonderful weekend! We know you are enjoying your time abroad and are likely already looking ahead regarding your return to the WFU community in January. To help you plan, we wanted to send you the following information as a follow up to the message sent on October 9, 2018.

For the Spring 2019 Semester, we anticipate being at full capacity. As such, we are encouraging students who are interested in living off campus to submit a petition to be released prior to the deadline. To petition to be released, please visit the housing portal (WIN<Virtual Campus<Residence Life and Housing) by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, November 2, 2018.

As a reminder, for Spring Semester housing, you have three options. We have outlined those below for you, along with their deadlines. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at housing@wfu.edu or 336-758-5185.
Spring 2019 Housing Options
for Students Returning From Abroad
Petition To Be Released -
  • As you know, the University has a six-semester (typically three-year) residency requirement and is one of the few universities in the country that guarantees housing to students in good standing for eight semesters.
  • Students requesting to be released from the University’s residency requirement must petition for approval to reside off-campus. If your petition to move off-campus is granted, you are reclassified as a non-resident student and will no longer be eligible for any part of guaranteed campus housing (including Greek Block housing). All students who are released and remain enrolled as full-time students must register their off-campus address with the Office of Residence Life and Housing.
  • To petition to be released, please visit the housing portal (WIN<Virtual Campus<Residence Life and Housing) by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, November 2, 2018.
  • Students looking to move off campus may want to consider resources such as ApartmentGuide.com, Apartments.com, ApartmentList.com, or Zillow.com. The Office of Residence Life and Housing offers no endorsement of properties included in this listing and does not guarantee the accuracy of information provided by the properties listed on these sites.
Pull-In -
  • If you know a student who is currently on campus and will have an open spot in their room, both you and the other student should submit a Spring Semester Room Change Request. The deadline for this request is November 2, 2018.
  • If you are hoping to be pulled into an organizational block or Residential Engagement Community, please work with the group to ensure you are listed on the updated Spring Semester roster being provided to the Office of Residence Life and Housing.
Questions - Contact Kristy Eanes at eanesk@wfu.edu .
Spring 2019 Housing Selection -
  • Selection for students currently studying abroad will take place on Tuesday, December 11, 2018. Students will need to log into the housing portal (WIN<Virtual Campus<Residence Life and Housing) at their assigned selection time to select their housing and meal plan for the Spring semester.
  • As you plan for this process, please note that selection times will be made available to students on December 3, 2018, and an available rooms list will be published on December 7, 2018.  
  • As you prepare for selection, please recognize that while some spaces in Taylor Hall will be coming back online, the vast majority of spaces will be half vacancies in current double rooms.
Again, if you have questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact our office at housing@wfu.edu and 336-758-5185.
