Welcome Home Residential Life 2022

 

Greetings from Residential Life & Housing!

On behalf of the entire Residential Life & Housing staff, welcome to TJC! We look forward to having you call TJC your home away from home. We are committed to providing a safe, clean and vibrant community through which you can excel personally and academically.

Living on campus provides you with built-in connections to academic programs and opportunities for involvement in student clubs and organizations, all while making lifetime friendships.

Housing Portal

Active room assignments

On the home screen of your Housing portal, you can view your current room assignment status. If you have been assigned a room, the right-hand side of the portal will display details about your placement and your roommate. If you have not been assigned a room, it will indicate that “you do not have a room assignment at this time.”

Waitlist

If your application has been approved, indicating that you have submitted your application and undergone a background check, yet you have not been assigned a room, you are on the waitlist. Students are selected from the waitlist daily as vacancies become available. If selected, an email will be sent to your TJC email address notifying you of your placement.

Information in Residential Life & Housing

Frequently Asked Questions

Carriers do not make deliveries directly to the residence halls. Items are either delivered directly to the Residential Life and Housing office or to the TJC Distribution Center and then brough to the RLH office by campus staff. Residents are NOT allowed to pick up their own packages at the distribution center. All residents must claim their packages at the RLH office upon showing the front desk staff their photo ID and signing the package log.

Residents will receive a notification to their TJC email address from housing@tjc.edu when they have a package ready for pick up at the RLH office. Letter mail will be brought to residence halls by the hall directors and delivered to residents by hall staff.

For more information, see the Residential Life and Housing handbook.

During the academic year, residents do not have to move their belongings out of their room during campus breaks. Depending on the length of the campus break, there might be special instructions for the resident to follow. Such as, before leaving campus for the long winter break between Fall and Spring semesters, residents will be required to:

  • Empty out food and turn off mini fridges
  • Remove all belongings out of the bathroom so that the cleaning company can deep clean all bathrooms

Information will be communicated to residents in advance of campus breaks.

The Room Change Request Form is available online for residents who would like to move to another room or residence hall. Prior to submission, make sure to read the entirety of the TJC Housing Room Change and Roommate Request Policy included in the form. All fields in the form are required – incomplete forms will not be considered.

Keep in mind that submitting a change request form is not a guarantee that the request will be granted.

Room Change Requst Form

In the application process, roommate selection is only available for Fall applicants who are approved by priority placement deadline. Applicants who are approved by March 7th will be part of the priority placement group and will be able to access the Room Selection process when it begins, starting March 10th.  Priority applicants will receive an email soon before March 10th that will inform them of their assigned start date and time for the Room Selection portal.

Residents who have already been assigned a room will need to submit the online Room Change Request Form to request a roommate.  Prior to submission, make sure to read the entirety of the TJC Housing Room Change and Roommate Request Policy included in the form. All fields in the form are required – incomplete forms will not be considered.

Keep in mind that submitting a roommate request form is not a guarantee that the request will be granted.

Roommate Request Form

In general, private rooms are not available unless a student is approved by the TJC Disability Services Office for a private room. Even with approval, it is contingent on the space being available.

At the beginning of each semester all the rooms, which are designed as 2-person rooms, are full. However, during the semester single rooms sometimes become available when a resident moves out. There would be an additional charge for a private room. As found in the 2024-2025 TJC Residential Contract:

For students living in a private room there will be an additional fee of $1,485 per semester for Crossroads and Ornelas Halls and $800 for Bateman, Claridge, Holley, Hudnall, Sledge, and Vaughn Halls.
