<p>Hi guys. I'm just wondering if anyone has completed their housing contract by paying the $200. If so, what happens once you pay.
Thanks</p>
<p>Were you able to pay? I completed my contact on Tues. The payment shows up, but says it is not due. So it is not letting me pay.
I called on Thurs. and they said to wait another 24 hours, but still not letting me pay</p>
<p>At the same time I asked if you needed to put down housing preferences. You do not. You only need to put down your preferences if you want UF to manually place you in a room.</p>
<p>If you want to pick your room/roommate…then they will send you an email with a date and time depending on your original 25.00 housing payment.</p>
<p>Selection for SummerB/Fall if you want to stay in same room take place in March…and I believe the others start at beginning of April</p>
<p>Well I haven’t submitted my payment yet. Hopefully I will be able to do it this week. So are you saying that you tried to pay, but they wont let you until Feb 26???</p>
<p>Also, I would like UF to select my room and roommate but only based on my preferences.</p>
<p>I was able to pay. However, I had to go back a day later to do so.</p>
<p>I was finally able to pay,
FYI…look at last sentence of first paragraph…you might not want to wait to be manually assigned</p>
<p>UF<em>Fall</em>/<em>Spring</em>and<em>Innovation Academy</em>students now have the option to select their own rooms and roommate on the<em>MyHousing Portal</em>if they have a completed<em>Housing Contract</em>and submit their $200 pre-rent<em>payment. Room selection is based on the student housing application date (the date you submitted your UF housing application and $25 non-refundable housing application fee). Students do not have to select their own room, and can wait to be manually assigned by the UF Housing Assignments team. However, note that preferences are not guaranteed or likely</em>if you wait to be manually assigned.</p>
<p>Students can change rooms as many times as they like until room sign-up for the contract period is closed or they are billed for housing (whichever comes first). Students with a completed housing contract and pre-rent payment are GUARANTEED a space provided for the contract period by UF Housing. Our office will notify students if availability becomes limited and we begin to manually assign students to rooms. Also view the UF Housing<em>Facebook</em>and<em>Twitter</em>pages for large numbers of rooms becoming available due to cancelations.</p>
<p>Ok thanks soo much! I will pay the $200 as soon as possible so I can at least try and get the room I prefer.</p>
<p>Can you choose a dorm if you don’t know who your roommate is? My daughter knows she wants to be in Beaty with the other IA kids, but she doesn’t know any other girls who are going yet.</p>
<p>Alex23, I got accepted to iA and I don’t know anyone going. I’d love to get to know your daughter! Is there any way we can private message on here or anything? Also, has she been added to the iA Facebook page?</p>
<p>I’ll private message you with her name. She did join the IA class of 2017 Facebook group. I don’t think you can private message me back until you get 15 posts so post something, so I can get your name and tell her to accept your friend request.</p>
