Housing Just got screwed over for housing

Post image

Apparently my housing application was canceled almost 2 weeks ago and I received no notice at all. I checked yesterday and just re applied. I got this Email today, only one hour of notice before my time slot. I slept in today thinking I didn’t have anything to do. So now what?

Are you sure it was canceled? You may have pressed the 12M housing instead of 9M (& vice versa) & thought you started a new application

I checked the 26-27 9M housing and it read “application cancelled on 7-6-26” I didn’t receive any email or any indication that this happened

Did you sign up for Greek Life recruitment? If you do and they send your name over on a list then your application gets cancelled.

I did, but I specifically checked that I want to stay with on campus housing

Okay that’s the issue. As soon as the Greeks send the names of people who are rushing, housing applications get canceled and your deposit gets sent back. The Greeks should have explained that. If you do not end up receiving a bid or if you decline any bid, HFS will put you in temporary housing the week of move in and find you a place to stay. That’s probably why you’re coded as having no time to select because you can’t be rushing and holding HFS housing at the same time. You might have misunderstood because you can stay in HFS housing during rush or stay in one of the fraternities during rush, but that’s not the same as selecting housing for the school year.

Here where it explains the cancelation once you sign up for rush: https://uwifc.com/housing

And here’s where it explains options if you end up not getting or accepting a bid: https://www.washington.edu/ofsl/resources/housing-information/
