Welcome back, Wildcats!
Hope you all had a wonderful and restful winter break — we're glad to have you back.
So, what's happening in February? Turns out, quite a bit. First and foremost, if you want to live on campus next year, the priority contract completion deadline is Feb. 1 (yep,
tomorrow!). You can still reserve a space after that date, but you'll be competing with incoming students for the spot of your choice. More below.
The second item of importance is this Sunday's KSUnity Conference. Speakers from across campus will be speaking on topics that help you become a more inclusive leader. Check out the details and consider attending.
February is here: Make it count!

Reserve Your Space for 2020-2021
Now's the time to reserve your on-campus living space for the 2020-2021 academic year. Current residents who participate in the
Choose Your Experience process
will be able to select a space before new, incoming students can choose theirs.
Complete your residence hall contract
or apartments application by the priority date of Feb. 1 in order to secure your current spot or have a shot at the new space of your choice
. If you're considering a residence hall spot but you're not 100% sure that's what you want to do, we recommend you complete the contract now just in case — you can cancel a
res hall
contract for a full refund of the initial payment until June 1.
If you're in a residence hall but thinking it's time for an
apartment setup
, don't forget Jardine Apartments is close by and allows you apartment independence with many of the same benefits of on-campus living. Plus, a free shuttle to and from campus!
