The following information was sent to current residents this morning about how to apply to live on campus again next year.
Hope this helps,
Janine

Hi Janine! I seem to be in an endless loop. After I hit “save and Continue” on page four the page does not indicate that I am done. It’s a little distressing. Is that it?
I’m a current freshman and my page says “The application process is not currently available to you”. Is anyone else having this problem? Getting kinda worried…
EDIT: Well, it worked by applying on my iPhone but not on my Mac. … I hope that the 20 minute delay didn’t cost me on-campus housing for next year. Don’t have a back-up plan if I don’t get on-campus housing
The application is not showing as complete for me… steps 2-4 will not say complete, even though I’ve hit save & continue. Is anyone else having this issue?
I believe that it will say INCOMPLETE (when you log off and try to get in again) until the next step in early Feb (when we PAY). If you did “save and continue” at step 4 (emergency contacts), you should be good to go. I will keep checking and will report back ASAP if I find out anything different.
Yeah, mine says “Not Complete” when I log off and back on, and the little circles on 2-4 are white instead of blue.
Thank you guys! Was worried that there was another issue haha.
We DID have a glitch that may have caused the loop for a few minutes, but it should be fixed by now. If anyone is still experiencing issues, please call our main office. Amy, sent you a PM.
It will say “Not Complete” at this time, so no worries on that front. Also, a 20-minute delay should not affect your placement.
It won’t say ‘complete’ until you’ve received notice that you can get housing…and you’ve paid your deposit…so, yes, ‘incomplete’ is what it will/should say now. As long as you have an application started/entered - that’s the main thing.
@UAHousing Janine, when my daughter went to apply for housing as a returning student, the only application available to her was that for an incoming freshman for the 2015-16 school year. Odd, I know. Not knowing what to do and knowing that time was of the essense, that application was filled out and the deposit asked for was paid. A call was made to Housing to ask for help, but I still feel uneasy… Especially since a returning student’s application should say “not complete” and her’s says “complete”… I emailed UAHousing asking for someone to double check my daughter’s application, but Iknow you guys are swamped right now… Any advice?
Janine @UAHousing - if ah honors freshman student is below 3.3 at the end of Fall semester, are they eligible to stay in honors housing for sophomore year? It is possible that it can be brought up by spring of Freshman year, but may need an additional semester to bring it up. Thank you!
You would need to reach out to Honors College about when that student is no longer considered an Honors College student. The information that comes over for Housing purposes is going to be Honors/ not Honors. If a student no longer has the designation of Honors student, then he or she would not be eligible for Honors housing the next year, and could not select their same Honors space from freshman year.
