Everyone is eagerly awaiting their chance to submit their contract to live on-campus for the upcoming 09-10 academic year! Normally we would have mailed our information packets out to our incoming class by now, but we are making some exciting changes that are delaying our mailing.
We sent our brochure to the printer last week. We are using a new printer this year. Our new printer is an environmentally friendly printer and we feel we are supporting the University’s emphasis on sustainability. We are printing this brochure in accordance with Forest Stewardship Council standards. By doing so, we are using fewer resources than we would normally use in producing this brochure. The back cover will show the savings we have made by using this printer!
This process will however take a little longer than we had anticipated. We will get the brochure in our offices around December 18. This means it will really push us to get our mailing out before the end of this calendar year. This packet of information will include the brochure and a welcome letter from the Department telling each student their username and password to get into our system to sign up for housing for the fall 09 and spring 10 semesters. All students during this first mailing will have until January 16th to complete the online application to maintain their admission date as their priority date.
I’ve already talked about our other major change earlier in this blog (see the second posting Information for fall 2009 students). We hope you understand our delays and realize that they are GREAT enhancements that we are utilizing for the very first time with you, our entering fall 2009 class!
