Self-Selection update
| Please Note: If you have opted into a living learning community or The Thompson, you will be assigned a room in that community. A representative from that community will reach out to you to place you into that community. Please do not continue with the self-selection process. If you choose to change your room or pick a room in self-selection, it may remove your assignment from the community. If you want to live in the First Year Residential Experience (FYRE) community in Chatsworth, you WILL proceed with the self-selection process and should select your room online. |
