Preferences Tab (Student Residence Information Window)

This tab allows you to enter two kinds of preferences for a student for a session: Room and Roommate.

· Student housing preferences are entered in the Room Preferences group box and are stored in the Student Room Preferences table. A student may request a certain building and even several rooms in a preferred order, which can be used to help make room assignments.

· Roommate preferences are entered in the Roommate Preferences group box and stored in the Student Roommates table. A student may request to room with another student, which can be used to help make room assignments. There are several statuses describing a request when two students are involved:

o If the requested roommate does not yet have a Student Session Assignment record, the status is Data Not Entered.

o If the requested roommate has a Student Session Assignment record but has not requested a roommate or has requested another student for a roommate, the status is Requests Not Match.
