I agree with brownzebra. At least you HAVE a time slot. We had NO IDEA that January 1 was some sort of “deadline” for getting assigned a time slot for housing and that there were any kind of worries about Honors housing shortages/selection. Our son has only received a bazillion postcards from UA and none addressed this housing “deadline” and pulling people in, etc. Nothing in his scholarship letter about it, nothing on the freshman checklist about it. Kudos to the parents/students who got on the UA website and figured this out earlier. My husband and I are both alums of UA and knew nothing about this housing process change. My son DID get an email (1-20-13) to his crimson account (which he recently found out he even had an email account already without registering as a student - but that is another story) which tells about the 1-1-13 online slot assigning deadline. Really would have been nice to have that information in our acceptance letter, scholarship letter, honors college letter or postcards well prior to 1-1-13!
