Well … testing is complete.
Everything is setup.
Starting Monday morning, current residents interested in living on campus next year will sign into this new tool we’ve finished. They’ll sign a financial commitment, and choose some preferences (including roommates). In a few weeks, those that want to squat (stay in their current upperclass room) will choose that option online. The week after, those left over will choose from the leftover rooms online. One long, smooth process. Here’s hoping.
Nothing is perfect the first time, but I think this will work well. We’ve done the testing. We’re training the RAs and Residents next week. I’m pleased. I hope the tool works well for them. I hope the server it’s all on runs steady and doesn’t puke. Time will tell (as it will for other current events here at WOU).
