Cougar Village Homesteading is the opportunity for current Cougar Village residents to reserve the space they currently live in by themselves, with one or more of their current roommates, other University Housing residents or a new Housing resident. Residents that wish to switch from a shared space to a private space or from a private space to shared space cannot participate in this process.
Evergreen Hall Homesteading is the opportunity for current Evergreen Hall residents to reserve a non-specific space by themselves, with one or more of their current roommates, other University Housing residents or a new Housing resident. For example, residents can reserve their current type of space, i.e. 4 person suite, but they cannot reserve a specific unit.
