    Below the building and suite or room number for each room, you will see a bed icon with a number, indicating the capacity for that bedroom.

    Click the Show Room Info link at the bottom right of each available room to view a building plan by floor and to see who has already reserved space in that suite or room.

    After accepting the Housing Agreement, you'll see the Application Status page, showing your assignment details and cancellation date. You'll also be sent an email to confirm that your housing agreement has been received.
