Residence Hall and Apartments online ROOM SELECTION
This booklet contains important Information Regarding the Room Selection Process
Welcome to Room Selection 2016. We are happy you have chosen to live on-campus
next year. This booklet contains all the information you need to reserve a room for
the 2016-2017 academic year.
Just like last year, all on-campus housing (Apartments, Greiner Hall & Residence
Halls) for current/returning UB students will be self-selected through the online
Room Selection Process.
Along with this booklet, you have received a Housing Reservation Number which will
be used to determine your Housing Selection Window. Students who wish to select a
room with roommates will use the lowest Housing Reservation Number of the group
to determine which Housing Selection Window they should use to reserve housing
for the group. Since apartments and group spaces are limited, we strongly
encourage students to have multiple room & roommate options prior to your
housing selection window.
Again, thank you for choosing to live on-campus. We hope you agree that UB offers
the safest, most enjoyable and convenient housing available.

Sr. Associate Director Campus Living

Housing Reservation Number
Your Housing Reservation Number is what allows you to participate in Room Reservation. It determines what day/time
you can select your room. The lower your Housing Reservation number, the earlier you can select a space. Reservation
numbers are e-mailed to your "buffalo.edu" address during the week of February 15th. Please refer to the
Reservation/Selection Windows within each process to see your timeslot.
Your Housing Reservation Number was generated using the following method:
Residency in UB Residence Halls and/or Apartments for one semester is equal to a value of 1.
(The current spring semester is included, but summers are not counted.)
For example: Two semesters of residency = value of 2
Three semesters of residency = value of 3
Students with higher totals will have the lowest (best) Housing Reservation Numbers.
Reserving a room with friends:
Groups of students who wish to room together must select their rooms at the same time. Housing Reservation Numbers
are not averaged. Instead, the student with the lowest Housing Reservation Number will select a room and pull in
requested roommates.
Reservation Window
Your Reservation Window is the timeframe where you will be able to log into http://housing.buffalo.edu/renew and
select your Apartment or Room for next year. Your Reservation Window will tell you at what is the earliest time that you
may begin to select your housing. You may select your housing any time AFTER your Reservation Window begins, until
the end of the entire Selection process (March 3rd at 6pm).
Housing Charges
Residence Hall Agreements are for 2 terms (fall and spring). Housing charges are billed directly to student accounts twice
a year (once in fall, and once in spring). The $300 housing deposit that you submitted will be applied to the balance of
your residence hall charges.
There are two types of Apartment Agreements: Academic Year Agreements that run from 8/20/16-5/22/17 and Full Year
Agreements that run from 8/20/16-7/31/17. Apartment residents whose current contract ends on 7/31/16 that renew
their same unit may begin their new Agreement on 8/1/16.
All housing charges, regardless of Agreement length, are billed directly to student accounts twice a year (half in fall and
half in spring). The $300 housing deposit is collected as part of the new application or renewal process. This deposit is an
advanced payment and is applied to the fall balance of your housing charges.
5
Cancellation Policy
If your plans change for next year and you no longer need on-campus housing, you may cancel your Housing Agreement
without penalty until May 1, 2016. After May 1, 2016, only students who are no longer attending UB may cancel their
housing agreement. Students who are registered for fall 2016 cannot cancel their on-campus Housing Agreement after
May 1.
Assignment Change Requests
It is strongly encouraged that you prepare at least four (4) different room choices and room types in the event that your
first choice is not available. Even if you are not happy with the available rooms, you should still pick a room and then
submit an Assignment Change Form. We will begin to process room changes immediately after the Room Selection
process and continue throughout the summer. Each year we process several hundred returning student assignment
change requests prior to the start of the fall semester, in both the Residence Halls and the Apartments.
We understand that you may not initially get the apartment or residence hall space that you prefer. Please keep in mind
that you can change your assignment from a res hall to an apartment or an apartment to a res hall via this process.
Gender Inclusive Housing
Gender Inclusive housing is an inclusive environment where students can live in the same room with any other student
regardless of sex, gender, gender identity/expression, or sexual orientation. Gender inclusive housing serves students
who identify as transgender and transsexual, those students who are trying to discover their gender/sexual identity,
lesbian, gay and bisexual students, and any individual who would feel more comfortable living with someone based on
lifestyle compatibility rather than gender. Gender Inclusive Housing is not a part of the online Housing Selection
process. If you are interested in being assigned to Gender Inclusive Housing, you must submit a request on-line using
the information sent to you in your Housing Reservation Number email (sent during the week of February 15th).
The deadlines to submit an application is February 18th:
Applicants assigned to Gender Inclusive spaces will be notified before the selection process starts on February 22nd.
Students assigned to Gender Inclusive Housing will not be eligible to go through any other housing selection process.
Questions regarding gender inclusive housing may be directed to Murray Macdonald at murayma@buffalo.edu or by
phone at 716-645-2171.

This is the process in which the majority of students will select their rooms for next year. Students can select a space
with or without a roommate. All available spaces will be selected during this process.
If you plan to live with a friend(s) who is also participating in Room Reservation, you can go through the process at the
same time by having the person with the lowest reservation number log-in and complete the process for the group. In
order to complete the process as a group, the person who logs-in must have the Login ID and Password for all intended
roommates. All participants must have already completed a Residence Hall Agreement and submitted a $300 Housing
Deposit.
If you would like to live with a new incoming student, you must submit both a 'Roommate Pull-in Request' form (located
under the Room Reservation Forms tab) and submit them to the Housing Operations Office, 106 Red Jacket Quad by
February 12th. If the new student has completed the housing application you would then select a room during room
selection for yourself and the new student.
