HORIZON VILLAGE PROCESS 2023-24

• Find your group of four. 
  • Find three other students you believe would be great roommates for the 2023-2024 academic year.  Only groups of four will be eligible for a Horizon Village suite. 
  • Groups can have any gender breakdown.  
• Email housing@uwosh.edu with “Horizon Village Group Appointment” as the subject. 
  • In the email body, provide the first and last name for all 4 members of the group. 
  • One person from the group should send the email and carbon copy (CC) other group members.  In order to move forward, all students must be copied on the email.  
• Someone from Residence Life will respond to the email with a list of potential appointment dates and times. 
  • Virtual meetings will be scheduled in the order emails are received.   
  • Once a group has a meeting scheduled, a place in Horizon Village is being held for them. There is no guarantee as to what suite types will be available during the meeting. 
• Meet Virtually with Residence Life. 
  • During the group’s virtual meeting, Residence Life will assist the group in getting verified and then selecting what suite they want from what is available.  
  • All members of the group will need access to a computer and their own housing application, to be able to make changes as instructed. 
  • During this meeting, the group will agree on and be assigned to a suite! 
  • For students who had previously selected a room in another hall: Once the Horizon Village suite is confirmed, previous room placements will be cancelled.  Cancelling these previous rooms will make them available for other students. 

• The group will need to assign someone as the group leader. If the group wishes to move to a different suite [as available] after suite selection has occurred, this individual will be responsible for completing the move in the housing application.   
• If at any point a member of the group leaves the group, the remaining members of the group will be given a two-week window to find a replacement for the member that left.  If unable to find another student, the group will be ineligible to stay in the suite and will be required to live in a different residence hall.   
• Once Horizon Village is full, residents will be informed by email. Remaining groups will be notified that they are on the waiting list and will be contacted if any of the groups leave their Horizon Village suite. Groups on the waiting list are not guaranteed a placement in Horizon Village for the upcoming academic year.
