References to students seeking assignment apply to students who do not currently have a housing assignment for 2018-19. Students seeking reassignment refers to students who were assigned in the Lottery and are seeking a reassignment to a higher assignment preference within the same housing category and does not include student applying for a change in family status or student who renewed their contract and have applied for a reassignment.
Single Students: In the Waiting List assignment round all new incoming graduate students with high priority and continuing PhD, JD, MD & JSD students with Medium Priority, who were willing to live in any residence (including the off-campus subsidized housing), were assigned. There are still new incoming graduate waiting for housing because they either limited their choices. Some coterminal students and 2nd year Masters student with low priority were also assigned to housing. The only students without priority to housing in this round were special exemptions for students with documented medical needs.
