Residence Hall Assignment Email
The following template shows the information first-year students received with their housing assignment. Their name and their building name would be filled in with their specific information; if they have an assigned roommate, it would be noted that they could see the roommate’s name in the Housing Portal
Welcome to the Forest [NAME]!
We hope that here at Wake Forest, you’ll find a residential experience where you can thrive socially and intellectually alongside your peers within a secure, comfortable, inclusive and engaging learning community.
Living on campus is where the memories are made. This is where you belong. From all of our staff to you, welcome to Wake!
Your first year assignment is …
[YOUR RESIDENCE HALL NAME]
We’re so excited to welcome you to campus in just a few weeks.
As noted above, your assignment is Test Room in Test Building which is a Test Room Type. If you are living in a double room, you will be able to view your roommate’s information on the Housing Portal.
Receiving assignments is both an exciting and emotional time, particularly for our incoming students. Some of you may not have gotten the building you were hoping for, some may have requested a roommate and were unable to be paired together, while others will be thrilled with their assignments. What we know is that as we approach this unprecedented year, a positive and flexible attitude will help you, and us, make the most of your Wake experience.
Our first year assignment process is based on random allocation. This year, however, we tried to honor roommate requests when possible. That said, room assignments are unable to be changed once they have been released. We stand ready to partner with you on how to make the most of the upcoming semester regardless of where you are living.
For now, head on over to the Housing Portal to finalize your housing. Your booking status for Fall 2020 will be tentative until you log back into the housing portal at go.wfu.edu/housingportal and complete the following steps:
- Access the 2020-21 Housing section.
- Proceed through all pages – including
- Grad Guard Renter’s Insurance – Accept or Decline
- Meal Plan Selection and Dining Agremeent
- Sign your Housing Agreement
- Schedule your Move-In Appointment.
We are asking that this be completed by August 3.
A reminder regarding Fall 2020 Meal Plan Deadlines: Plans may not be decreased after August 1, 2020, but may be increased until September 30, 2020.
