<p>For everyone (including my DS) trying to get housing tonight:
The housing office has just loaded a recording that the system has been “discontinued” and that students should watch for an email with further information or check the housing website.</p>
<p>Wow that’s a shame. I guess there was a glitch in their server/system and that is what is causing all the problems. Hopefully they’ll get it straightened out and it will run smoothly the rest of the way.</p>
<p>is it saying we still we be selecting our rooms later tonight or that they will assign another day for it later?</p>
<p>I believe the number for Housing is 205-348-7135</p>
<p>Oops I’m sorry that is their fax number. I’ll try to find the regular one. My apologies.</p>
<p>I found it: (205)348-6676</p>
<p>Housing page has the following message posted</p>
<p>Room Selection is temporarily unavailable due to technical issues, and will not be available tonight or tomorrow at all. Please check your UA email tomorrow for further updates.</p>
<p>So it wont be up tomorrow either??</p>
<p>Hmmmm…</p>
<p>I wonder why it won’t be available tomorrow either? Unless they have to spend tomorrow figuring out another time schedule for the various students so less are trying at the same time???</p>
<p>Son got an email stating that honors students can select rooms Wednesday at 5P CST. Other students can select on Wednesday at the times they were initially given for Tuesday. If you’ve already got your room, there is no need to participate in the room selection. Good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>After reading through the various threads about the problems encountered tonight, went back to check the time stamp on son’s email. It was sent at 934 pm. If you’re an honors student, I’d give it a try at 5 pm. Worst that could happen is you don’t get in again. Good luck!</p>
<p>Son already has room. Don’t want to go near the mybama page, for fear of messing it up. Hope his room selection is still there!</p>
<p>Out of all days for the room selection program to have technical issues…
Well, it looks like UA has got the problem fixed. I don’t know if the e-mail said 5PM CST for honors room selection on Wednesday, but echoing a comment malanai made awhile back, when UA mentions a time, they mean whenever that time would be in Tuscaloosa, so it would 5PM (17:00) CDT. If anybody had already selected a room, your room selection is still there and hopefully you received an e-mail to your crimson account confirming your room assignment.</p>
<p>People need to be careful not to try to logging into housing selection before 5pm. That’s what messed it up a couple of months ago.</p>
<p>I just rechecked the room assignment schedule. It seems there are no other groups scheduled to add-in this evening so hopefully, things will go smoothly.</p>
<p>I hope they spaced out the times of people tonight to a more manageable number. </p>
<p>I also hope that in the future, Bama doesn’t decide to do what many other colleges do and that’s assign kids to certain buildings/rooms. My nephew at Vandy had no choice - he was just assigned.</p>
<p>I spent about an hour and forty five minutes trying to get into the system. I rearranged things so I would be home at the required time. It was a frustrating experience. A couple of times I got as far as seeing available rooms then got kicked out ;(. Hope tonight is better.</p>
<p>If you got in where we there rooms left so I can go right there tonight?</p>
<p>Great question, Cheerleader!</p>
<p>So far, today looks just like yesterday.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haven’t been able to get in yet.</p>
<p>Got far enough to see the “room selection” tab. Unfortunately, it is telling me that room selection is not available at this time - even though we are within the stated window.</p>
<p>Just talked to someone in Housing. She said no one is currently able to get through and to just keep trying.</p>
<p>Sounds like they didn’t get the technical problem fixed after all.</p>
