Transfer Students from Other Universities
A transfer student is transferring from another university with advanced standing (greater than first- or second-semester standing).  Housing for students at University Park is only guaranteed to students with first- or second-semester standing.  For subsequent semesters students must request a contract and offers are made randomly until all spaces are filled.  A limited number of spaces will be reserved for students who are transferring from another university on a first-come, first-served basis.
