Dear UMW Faculty and Staff:  

The next five weeks will be an exciting time for students as they contemplate housing and roommate options for the 2013-14 academic year. 

·         Rising juniors and seniors will decide whether to live on campus for another year or to move off campus into the Fredericksburg community. 

·         Rising sophomores will decide which residence hall best meets their needs and whether to go through a pre-selection process or go through general housing selection in mid-March. 

·         All will be deciding with whom to live. 

Students have received information regarding the housing selection process and important deadlines.  At no time will a student be asked to miss class for the process. 

If you encounter students with questions or who are experiencing anxiety regarding their housing options, please direct them to the Office of Residence Life and Commuter Student Services in Marye House, where staff can assist them.  For details regarding housing selection options and dates, please visit URL www.umw.edu/housingselection<http://www.umw.edu/housingselection>.

 Your support helps to make this process a positive experience for students, and one which enhances their academic experience. 

Thank you, 

Matt Troutman

University of Mary Washington

Associate Director of Residence Life for Operations and Housing
