WELCOME
TO SPRING ROOM DRAW, the process by which
Upper Class students obtain campus housing for the
upcoming year. The Housing Office, under whose auspices
the Room Draw is run, provides the Room Draw Guidelines
and supplies the applications and forms. Student
Housing Committee members, made up of Co-Chairs
appointed by the Students’ Council and voluntary
members, run the actual room draw process and have
a strong voice in housing decisions. The Housing
Committee works closely with the Housing Office
to establish the guidelines for Room Draw and to
coordinate the process in order to make sure it
is fair, clear and as simple as possible.
There
are many different housing options available to
Haverford students, so, the best piece of advice
we offer is to READ THE GUIDELINES, thoroughly.
You can download a pdf
version of the Spring Room Draw Guidelines
or you can read online. The more knowledge you have
about the process as a whole and about specific
applications procedures, the better you will be
able to make informed decisions about your housing
options and how best to go about applying for them.
Please, also, read over the Housing section in the
2007 Students’ Guide as it contains other
important information on housing that may help you
in making decisions on where to apply to live.
If
after reading the guidelines, you have questions,
please do not hesitate to contact members of the
Housing Committee via email hc-housing@haverford.edu
(PLEASE NOTE: emails to this address are
read by students on the Housing Committee). Correspondence
of a confidential nature should be sent to Marianne
(Smitty) Smith, Interim Director of Housing, at
msmith@haverford.edu.

The
Room Draw Guidelines establish the policy
by which the Haverford community both applies
for and selects housing. However, the guidelines
cannot cover every single circumstance that
may arise regarding the room draw process.
Working closely with the Housing Office, the
Housing Committee plays an active role in
all aspects of housing and reserves the right,
by virtue of Students' Council appointment
of the Co-Chairs, to adjudicate over such
ambiguous cases in keeping with the letter
and spirit of the rules as well as the Honor
Code. The Housing Office and Housing Committee
strive to achieve decisions that are equitable
and fair to the parties involved as well as
the Haverford community and all decisions
made are final and binding. |
