"Dear Jimmy,
To meet UCLA Housing's guarantee of providing on-campus housing to all incoming freshmen and transfers who meet the application and Student Intent to Register deadlines, we have had to offer most of our prospective new residents some type of triple room accommodation, even though this may not be one of their first choices. However, this is the only option available for most of those students wishing to live in on-campus housing.
For the upcoming 2006-2007 school year, a higher number of first-year students were admitted and have chosen to enroll at UCLA. In addition, the number of current residents who return to on-campus housing continues to increase. This situation has resulted in an increased demand for on-campus housing for the upcoming academic year.
With this high demand, we will not be able to accommodate any change of assignment requests this summer. We are at full capacity and will not have the ability to make changes until the winter quarter.
Recent On-campus Housing resident satisfaction surveys indicate no statistical differences in self reported satisfaction levels with the campus living experience between students living in double or triple room accommodations. As in the past, UCLA Housing and the Office of Residential Life will continue to offer a wide array of programs and support services to assist students with their transition to UCLA.
In the event that you wish to cancel your contract, you will need to email the Housing Assignment Office at
www.housing.ucla.edu/ask and all cancellation fees will be waived until July 14, 2006 at 5:00 pm.
We will update you through email with open transfer updates.
Sincerely,
Housing Services"
