How do I find out what my housing assignment is?
You will be able to find all of your housing information on BruinData. Choose the "MyData" tab, then select "Student Life/Housing" from the drop-down menu under the Records Services menu.

Will I be placed in the residence hall I mark as my first choice?
Placements are made on a space available basis. Priority is based on the date that you pay your Tuition Deposit. If you did not receive the housing of your choice, most likely the residence hall you chose was filled by students who paid their tuition deposit earlier.

What is the timeline for fall housing assignments?
Housing assignments begin in late spring and continue through late August. In some situations, you may not receive your housing assignment until you arrive for orientation. Students who pay their tuition deposit after July 1st will not be placed until all of the returning students have received a housing assignment.

If I don't have a housing assignment after I log into Bruindata, what should I do?
If you have not yet filled out an online housing form, begin by filling one out. New students are placed in housing according to their Tuition Deposit date and the preferences listed on the form. The data is then entered for new students to access electronically. If you have filled this form out and still do not have a housing assignment, wait a week, and check again as placements will occur all summer. If you have questions, contact housing@georgefox.edu .or call 1-800-765-4369, and ask for extension 2310 on weekdays.

How do I find out my roommate contact information?
Roommate contact information is located on the "Student Life/Housing" screen in Bruin Data. Simply press the magnifying glass on the left of the roommate name and a window will show the contact information. Roommate changes occur throughout the summer. It is recommended to check your roommate information periodically in the case a change has occurred.
