All WHT Scholars who live in University Housing their first year will live near other WHT Scholars in a number of the residence halls across campus. If a newly awarded WHT Scholar has already turned in a Housing contract, there is nothing else the Scholar needs to do at this time to ensure they will be living near other WHT Scholars. WHT Staff will provide a list to University Housing of WHT Scholars and Housing will work to group the WHT Scholars with the Harper-Schramm-Smith residence hall complex as much as possible, which is housing location selected for the William H. Thompson Scholars Learning Community. Keep in mind rooms assignments are made on a first come, first serve basis by contract submitted date, which may place students in a different housing facility. WHT Scholars who have submitted mutual roommate requests and/or have signed up for another Learning Community, those requests will still be honored as much as possible. Students will be notified of their room assignment in late July.
If you plan on living on campus and have not submitted a Housing contract yet and your enrollment deposit has been paid or deferred, please do so in a timely manner.
Students who will live on campus will be housed in clusters in the Residence Halls. The majority of community members living on campus will live together in the Harper-Schramm-Smith residence halls. If in a timely manner, you requested a roommate and the roommate requested you as well, regardless of if the roommate has or has not received the Susan T. Buffett Scholarship, roommate requests will be considered. Scholars who indicated they prefer living in Neihardt with the Honors Program, Burr Hall on East Campus, need vacation/break housing, have indicated a hall offering facilities for physically challenged residents or are in another learning community will be exempt from living with the rest of the scholars in Harper-Schramm-Smith.
