WELCOME TO SPRING ROOM DRAW, the process by which returning 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 them 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. You can download Please, also, read over the Housing section in the 2007-2008 Students’ Guide as it contains other important housing information 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, Director of Student 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. |
