Unit Assignment

Keep this information handy, either as a printout or on your phone. It will make move-in day navigation much easier. Your assignment email shows both your building name and room number. To find your floor, look at the first number of your room assignment – for example, if you’re in Anderson Hall 1404, you’ll be on the 1st floor.
