FALL 2013 ROOM ASSIGNMENTS

Students with a fall room assignment may view room assignments/roommate contact information by logging in to myHousing (at right) with a MaineStreet logon and password and clicking on the “check my assignment” button. If the button is not visible when logging in, it means a room has not yet been assigned. As the assignment process is ongoing, students who have not yet been assigned are advised to check again every few days. On-campus housing is not guaranteed for returning students or for incoming first-year and transfer students who have not confirmed admission by May 1, 2013.

Roommate and room change requests are not accepted at this time due to space limitations.

HOUSING APPLICATIONS FOR FALL/CONFIRMED ADMISSION

For incoming first-year and transfer students: If your admission was confirmed after May 1, we are unable to guarantee housing regardless of when a housing application was submitted. We will assign applications received from first-year students who confirmed admission by May 1.

RETURNING STUDENTS – HOUSING AVAILABILITY

All upperclass housing has been assigned. If you are a returning student who submitted a housing application and do not currently have a room assignment, we will be unable to accommodate your request for housing. Please go to www.umaine.edu/cntsp for information on off-campus housing availability.
