I'm planning to attend Genesee Community College and I need to apply for housing. Does anyone have advice on the application process or when I should submit my application to ensure I get a spot?
Certainly! Applying for housing at Genesee Community College is a fairly straightforward process. Just make sure to follow these steps:
1. Ensure you are already accepted: At most colleges, including GCC, you'll need to be accepted into the college and have made your enrollment deposit before you can apply for housing. This confirms that you're officially a student.
2. Fill out the online application: You'll have to fill out the online housing application on the GCC website. This online application will ask for basic information, and possibly some more detailed information like your lifestyle preferences (e.g., early riser versus night owl) that can help with roommate matching.
3. Submit your housing deposit: Usually, colleges require a deposit to secure your spot in housing. For GCC, you'll also have to pay a security deposit, which is currently $50. These amounts can typically be found on the housing section of the college’s website.
4. Keep an eye on deadlines: Generally, housing assignments are done on a rolling basis, but there are usually priority deadlines. To increase your chances of getting your preferred housing option, it's always better to apply as early as possible. Check GCC's website for specific dates or contact the housing office directly.
5. Follow up: After you've completed these actions, you'll likely receive a confirmation email. Make sure to read this carefully, as it may contain important information or additional steps. If you don't receive a confirmation, or if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the housing office for assistance.
Housing placement at many colleges, including GCC, is first-come, first-served. Applying early will give you the best opportunity to receive your preferred housing assignment. Good luck!
