BCEP - Housing Application Instructions
1: Log onto Agora Portal via your assigned Eagle ID and Entry ID number (if you have registered a new password, use this). Click on the my-services link and select the My Services tab (located on top of the page). Under "Other Services" select the "My Reslife" link and enter StarRez when prompted.
2: In StarRez select the "Applications" Tab:
3: Select "2009 Summer Program Housing" and click "Select Application":
4 (Part 1 of application): READ the application instructions and click "continue":
5 (Part 2 of application): Enter any social networking information as you see fit. To update your local and home address (as well as emergency contact information) please use Agora Portal.
6 (Part 3 of application): Roommate questionnaire. Select the most appropriate response that describes you! Make sure you are honest as this information will be used to choose YOUR roommate if you do not select one on your own. Parents, if you are completing this application, make sure you fill out this survey with your incoming BCEP student. When finished, select save and continue.
7 (Part 4 of application): If you are entering the roommate searching process, make sure to complete this section. Include a screen name if you so wish, and describe yourself as you wish. Once again be honest and considerate of what you write since this WILL be viewed by our staff and your peers. When finished select save and continue.
8 (Step 5 in application): Select a housing type (single or double) and select an appropriate T-Shirt size. Add additional comments if you so choose. When complete, select save and continue.
9 (Step 6 in application): RESIDENCY AGREEMENT - You will need to READ this page thoroughly and print out the linked residency agreement. Once you and your parent/guardian read and complete the residency agreement you will need to mail/fax it to our office as soon as possible:
Note: We will NOT process your application until we have received your residency agreement! You will not be able to complete the remainder of the housing application until we are in receipt of your SIGNED agreement. You will be notified via email once we have documented that you have completed this step.
At this time you may log off of the application - your progress should automatically be saved.
10 (Steps 7/8 in application): In step 7 of the application you may (if you so choose) browse for a potential roommate. Once complete, you proceed onto step 8 of the application. Step 8 allows you to view your room assignment.
Please note, however, that this page will only contain a room assignment once we assign it to you!
We will not be assigning room assignments until about a week before the program begins so that we can match everyone's preferences as best as possible. Until we assign you a room, the status of your room assignment will be "not complete" - simply indicating that you have yet to be assigned a room. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUR APPLICATION IS INCOMPLETE! The mere fact that have reached this point in the application means your application for housing is complete! (Indeed, the status of your application indicates that you have applied.)
If you have any further questions - please direct them to bcep.housing@bc.edu.
