The Housing Selection Form will only be accessible through today (Friday, March 21). Please make sure to complete this if you would like to be considered as part of the selection process.
To complete the form you will need to login with your MyGFU username and password. This will give you access to a housing code that you can share with the rest of your group. One person from each group will then fill out the remainder of the form with the housing codes for the entire group. Once you have entered and confirmed your roommate choices you will be asked to rank the order of your housing preferences.
If you do not have a group, you can participate in housing selection as an individual. In this case, we will look at placing you with others who have an opening in their living area. Please note that placing individuals often takes longer, as we need to place groups in housing first. This means you may not know your housing assignment until later in April or May.
For additional information about housing selection please refer to the Residence Life website. If you have questions, please stop by or call the Student Life Office (ext. 2310) or email housing@georgefox.edu.
