| Housing Assignments | |||
| New & Continuing Students | Housing assignments were made per the ranked order of residence halls to occupy by gender and classification, and then requested room type: 1) Kentucky (continuing female students only), 2) Young (co-ed including W.M. Young Honors Scholars and STEM Scholars), 3) Chandler Hall (new freshmen and transfer females only), 4) McCullin (new freshmen and transfer males only), 5) Hunter (co-ed with new, transfer, and continuing students), 6) Combs (overflow for male students) | Residence Life to assign housing assignments per the ranked order of residence halls to occupy by gender and classification, then requested room type: 1) Kentucky (continuing and new transfer females only), 2) Young (co-ed with 3.0 GPA; including continuing students, new transfer students, W.M. Young Honors Scholars, and STEM Scholars only), 3) Combs (continuing and transfer males only), 4) Chandler Hall (new freshmen females only), 5) Hunter (new freshmen males only), 6) McCullin (to be determined in August based on the spaces needed) | The ranked order of residence halls assists with increasing the occupancy rate of each residence hall. In addition, Young Hall having a 3.0 GPA requirement and continuing to house scholars will give more structure and support to academic achievements in the residence halls. Lastly, there is a large revenue loss and gap in students' development levels identified when a suite-style building is used to accommodate new students only. |
