[Tang-residents] House to House Transfer Information

[Ulas Ziyan]

Hi!

The House to House Transfer Lottery is now open for regularly registered 
Single graduate students.  Through this lottery you can request to move 
to a different building in the Single Graduate Housing System.

Senior Segue students and visitors are not eligible to transfer buildings. 

In addition, because of the limited spaces in Family Housing and the 
large demand for Family Housing, students living in Family housing are 
not eligible for the house to house Transfer Lottery. If you currently 
live in Single Housing, and need to move to Family Housing, you may 
enter the Spring Assignments Lottery for Family Housing: 
http://web.mit.edu/housing/grad/assignments/spring/index.html

Please note that entering the Transfer Lottery is a  serious 
commitment.  If you receive an assignment through this lottery, you MUST 
MOVE or else LOSE YOUR CURRENT HOUSING.   This is because when we give 
you an assignment, we then assign your current room to someone else in 
the lottery.  One student's failure to move propagates through the 
system and can adversely affect everyone else.   For this reason, please 
only indicate preferences for buildings and room types where you are 
willing to live.  You may find information about all of our buildings at 
http://web.mit.edu/housing/grad/residences.html and you are welcome to 
visit any of the buildings at any time.

You may enter your preferences between now and November 21st at 
midnight.  Results of the process will be emailed to all applicants 
during the week of November 22.     You may withdraw from the lottery  
any time before the deadline by submitting a form with all the 
preferences set to "none".

If you receive a transfer assignment, your move date will be assigned by 
the Graduate Housing Office and will fall between December 1st and 
January 15th.

Please note that neither your old nor your new room will be 
professionally cleaned due to time constraints.  Please be considerate 
of the person moving in after you.

Please be sure to review the additional rules and guidelines on the 
lottery page before entering, and feel free to direct any questions to 
graduatehousing at mit.edu
