getting housing?

So if I have a friend who is going to UT and we are gonna be roomates and he already has a housing contract but I don’t should I be worried. I applied for housig contract early April. Will I be able to room with him?

Did you put each other down as room mate preferences? If so then you should be ok, it will go by the person that did their housing application first, so they will go by his housing app date.

You can’t put someone as preferrd roomate until they have a contract I thought

You are right, I think I read your post wrong so sorry. You will probably get your contract soon, I believe they put the May 4th cut off because they were running low on housing since you applied in April you should get the contract and then once you do you can put his name down and then they will go by his application date since he did it before you.

Oh okay. So since I applied before may 4th I’m guaranteed to get a contract?

From what I read I think you will get one, I believe this was a first for them to have a early cut off date of May 4th, it said due to an increase of freshmen class and students applying to live on campus they needed to have the cut of date so they could have a spot for everyone.
