Current Semester Waitlist

• A Current Semester Waitlist is created after the application deadline closes.
• Active applicants for that semester are automatically added and assigned a number based on priority groups.
• You will use your same application number to track your waitlist position.
• The Current Semester Waitlist is available on your Housing Portal Dashboard.
• The list is updated every Monday and Thursday (excluding holidays).

Priority groups

First Priority:

• Enrolled full-time for the desired check-in semester
• Married before the first day of school
• Current full-time student

Second Priority:

• New incoming or returning student enrolled full-time for the desired check in semester
• Married before the first day of school
• Not a current full-time student

Not Eligible for Waitlist Applicants with any of the following will not be placed on the waitlist:

• Application fee not paid
• Application not completed
• Not enrolled for the desired check-in semester
• Enrolled part-time for the desired check-in semester
• Marriage date after the first day of school

How is the waitlist sorted?

• Each Monday, enrollment is verified for the intended check-in semester.
• Students not registered at that time will not be considered for placement that week.
• Eligible, registered students are invited in order of their waitlist position.

To accept, you must complete two steps by the deadline:

Security Deposit

If you accept your TVA invitation, you will be charged a $300 security deposit and it must be paid through your Student Center. Unpaid fees will result in registration holds. Please plan ahead and save for this expense before you are invited.

What happens next?

When your acceptance form, contract, and $300 security deposit are complete:

• Your status will be updated to Accepted.
• Within 10 business days, you will receive an email with instructions for check-in, including your assigned date and time.

Continuing Residents and Semester Breaks

Fall residents who renew their contract or book a room for the winter semester are required to book the winter break also and pay any associated fees. There are no exceptions. The university does not offer a checkout option for continuing residents. Residents who have a winter booking may reside and/or leave their belongings in their rooms during this break. Residents who do not reside in the room or who check out of the room but are returning for the next semester are responsible for the winter break fee.

Winter residents who renew their contract or book a room for the spring semester are permitted to reside and/or leave their belongings in their rooms during the days between the winter and spring semesters.
