Question about housing contract and when to apply

My daughter will be attending FSU, was accepted to Summer 2016, but it says we must do a housing contract for both fall and summer, and to do fall first, since it fills up faster.

So it says that January 20th is the day that they will begin accepting housing contracts for newly admitted students. I just want to make sure we have all our ducks in a row. We have already paid the admission deposit and it says she has “no fees due at this time”. I just don’t want to mess up and go about this incorrectly. So I have a few questions.

1. On the 20th, when this opens to us, will the housing contract be something online that we fill out?

2. Do we fill out the contract for Fall, submit it, and then pay the housing deposit, in that order? Or do we pay the $ first and then fill out the contract?

3. Is this the point that we will get the "priority number", that I have heard so much about, that shows how far down the list she is?

I feel so clueless about all of this, and I just don’t want to mess up.

Thanks to someone who can help me understand this process, this is all new to me!
