Any group without a closed circle will not be considered a group.
BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING WHEN GOING THROUGH ROOM SELECTION WITH OTHER PEOPLE Time slots are determined by the number of credits earned and enrolled. As a group these numbers are averaged all together. This can impact a student in a positive or negative way depending on the credits of individuals in the group. If a student can not find a specific person, it might be because the person still has not applied for housing or the person has created their profile to be unsearchable. Either way direct them to talk to the student and suggest completing the process together.
