Students now have the opportunity to guarantee their room selection in Residence Hall One for the 2019 fall semester with the USF St. Petersburg room draft.
An email sent by Stephen Harris, housing operations and customer service manager, alongside an information sheet provided by Housing & Residence Life, explains the draft process.
“The USFSP room draft is a week long event where returning residents can come talk with housing staff and pick exactly what room they want and with whom they would like to live with,” Harris stated in the email.
The draft, which starts Jan. 28 on the first floor of the University Student Center, will allow groups of four students to select their rooms. The following day, groups of three will select their rooms, the third day groups of two and the final day, Feb. 1, will allow any other students to select available spaces.
Students must have a completed housing application for the 2019-2020 academic year and bring their student ID to the table. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
“Our goal for this event is to show our returning residents that we value them and
appreciate their continued dedication to USFSP housing and the residence halls,” the information sheet says.
“We hope that this opportunity can alleviate some stressors off our returners as well and give them more insight into the housing process and how room assignments work.”
