Assignments for incoming first-year students and transfers are made in contract receipt order, so the earlier your contract arrives, the earlier you are assigned in the process.
The only students that are guaranteed housing in New Residence Hall East are those who have applied and been accepted to the Orion Living-Learning Community. To complete your Housing/Dining Contract and apply to Living-Learning Programs (such as Orion), log into the StarRez Portal.
