<p>I'm from the Texas panhandle and don't know anyyyyone possibly going to UT besides a friend of mine from my school. If he decides to attend UT, we are definitely planning on rooming together. He also applied to Stanford and is waiting to hear back from them on April 1st; he will likely attend if accepted. I ran into a problem when I received my Housing Contract the other day and noticed that it expires March 31st, the day before he is notified about Stanford. So here are some questions I ran into...</p>

<p>Can your housing contract deadline be extended? What happens if you don't accept it before the deadline? </p>

<p>If I go ahead and list my friend as my preferred roommate before the 31st and he ends up not attending UT, is there any way I can go back and list another person?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help!</p>

<p>Go ahead and pick him as your roommate. You can change roommates/preferences until June 1st.</p>

<p>Nope contracts cant be extended. I know, it sucks. I’ve been in a similar position.</p>

<p>You can’t change it. It sucks. The deposit takes a bite out of your wallet too.</p>
