This is to inform you that the Fall 2012 housing application has gone live as of February 28, 2012. This is the chance for all enrolled students who are currently living in the residence halls and who are intending to continue to live in QF Housing in Fall 2012 to select housing.
In order for you to take part in 2012 housing lottery/ squat in March, you will need to:
1) Pay the Reservation Fee of QAR 1,000 at Porta-cabin 4 (Cashier's Office in Finance) and attach a scanned copy of the receipt with your housing application. This fee is refundable until May 1st, 2012 if you wish to cancel your housing. If you are on scholarship you should attach a copy of the award letter, clearly stating that all housing fees are covered. If you are on Financial Aid you should pay the QAR 1,000 yourself as the awards decisions will not be made by March 21st. You would then be able to have the reservation fee refunded to you once the Financial Aid is applied later in the year if you have a surplus amount in your account.
2) Complete your online housing application for Fall 2012 here: https://qatarfoundation.erezlife.com/one.php?outputter=loginView&am_login=1 .
The housing application deadline is March 21, 2012 and students who miss the deadline will not be able to participate in the Squat or housing lottery.
What is the Squat?
The Housing Squat will begin March 1 and will run until March 21. The squat is a chance for you to remain in your current housing assignment for the Fall 2012 semester, meaning you don’t have to move this summer! In order to be eligible to squat, you must meet all the following criteria:
· Not currently live in a CDA apartment.
· Not currently live in FB1 or FB2 (these spaces will be made available for incoming freshmen).
· Not currently live in the villas.
· Not currently live on the 3rd floor of SB3 or MB3 (these will be the locations for the Sustainable Living Communities).
· Have completed the online housing application and attached proof of payment of QAR 1000 reservation fee.
· Go to Faten’s office in FB3 during office hours to request the Squat, alongside the other current occupant of the bedroom.
o If you wish to bring someone else into your bedroom, you will need your current roommate to fill in a roommate consent form, and bring it with you.
What is the Lottery?
The lottery will take place March 27 & 28 for all students who wish to return to live in QF student housing in Fall 2012 and are not CDAs, roommates of CDAs, and who have not already squatted. The lottery will run from 6-9pm for those 2 nights and will be for male and female residents. You would receive your lottery number closer to the time, indicating the time you’d need to show up to select your room for Fall 2012. Please note that you would need to attend with one other person in order to select a room. We do not half-fill bedrooms in the lottery.
A couple of final points:
1) Although we require 2 students to sign up in a bedroom, you are able to sign up as a 3 in MB3, SB1, SB2, or SB3. Depending on actual enrollment in the Fall 2012 semester, we may need to assign a new student to make the room a triple.
2) If you miss the application deadline and don’t take part in the Housing Lottery, but wish to live on campus Fall 2012, you may apply at any time after April 1st, 2012. At that time we will assign you as space permits.
3) If you complete your application and payment by March 21st but cannot attend the housing lottery, you can complete a proxy form which allows a nominee to select your housing option on your behalf.
4) Copies of all housing forms are available at FB3 front desk.
If you won’t be returning to Housing this fall, please let us know so we can remove you from the list.
If you have any questions or you face any problems while completing your application please contact fabujazer@qf.org.qa or housing@qf.org.qa.
Regards,
Housing & Residence Life
