You should stay in your temporary assignment until Thursday, September 1st, which will be the day for House moves. On Thursday, check out of your temporary House between 10 am and 1 pm and then check into your permanent House between 2 pm and 5 pm.

If there are any serious problems with your permanent assignment which cannot be resolved within the House, you can contact the Residence and Campus Activities office on or after Thursday morning, September 1st. The RCA office is in W20-549 (on the fifth floor of the Student Center), and at telephone 3-6777.

For more information on your permanent House, including whether there is a MANDATORY House event on Wednesday night, please type the following line:

Again, congratulations and welcome.
