** Roommates will be assigned to a hall/floor on the basis of the latest date of received acceptance fee in
LHU Admissions Office.  If the roommate you choose has a late acceptance fee paid date (usually after May 1), the request may not be honored, or if the request is honored, both students may be placed in expanded (temporary) housing.  

                                   
Do you have any disabilities or special needs which could effect housing accommodations?          

If yes, please specify:


All LHU residence hall rooms and common areas are designated as Non-Smoking.  Students and guests may choose to smoke off campus, while respecting others and Hall Council Guidelines. Even though every room will be non-smoking, there are still students who cannot tolerate a roommate who smokes at all (even outside of the halls).  Please answer the following:

I would be bothered by a roommate that smokes at all:            

* An extensive review of research on roommate matching and levels of student satisfaction in colleges and universities and additional research completed on the LHU campus indicates that matching roommates on questions such as when the student prefers to study, what type of music the student listens to, and other factors are not good predictors of roommate success.  The best predictor of success is when the student chooses his/her own roommate and the University has a liberal room change policy.  LHU offers opportunities to choose roommates via this form and also during Summer Orientation.  The University also allows students who are having unsolvable roommate problems to change rooms providing that there are open spaces in which to move.

Please Note:  Very Important

All Hall, Floor and/or Roommate Preferences are honored whenever possible on a first-come, first-serve basis according to the date the Acceptance Fee is received by the LHU Admissions Office.  The earlier you pay your acceptance fee, and (if applicable) the earlier your proposed roommate pays his/her acceptance fee, will determine how well the Student Life/Housing Office can accommodate your wishes. Not all requests can be honored.

HOUSING ASSIGNMENT LETTERS WILL BE MAILED THE 1ST WEEK OF AUGUST, 2012.
