From: AVIATE Housing and Residence Life
Date: September 23, 2019
Subject: This Week in AVIATE
Why is Special Interest Housing a component of the AVIATE program?
Residential living and learning at the University of Dayton is structured to be sequential in nature. As students enter the university and have the opportunity to engage in Integrated Learning Living Communities, they have the opportunity to Discover how to integrate their learning and living in residence. In the sophomore year, students can opt to participate in the Designed Learning Experiences which allow them to Practice this kind of learning- taking on more ownership of their residential learning experience. Special Interest Housing is the culminating experience, or capstone, to the residential experience and allows students in their third and/or fourth year to have the ability to Create their own residential experience, thus making it their own personal responsibility to establish the goals and activities they will focus their time on and utilize to contribute to the community.
In recent years Special Interest Housing has grown significantly. There are three main benefits to students interested in applying for SIH:
How will PATH credit impact the Special Interest Housing process?
Once a group’s application has been reviewed and approved by the Special Interest Housing Committee, all approved groups will be given a priority based on the group members’ combined PATH credits (up to the point in time of which the SIH process deadline occurred. The deadline for PATH credit to be earned for the SIH process is Friday, December 13, 2019. It is important to note that while this is the last date for PATH credit to be EARNED, points, such as Baseline from Fall, may not be reflected into student's accounts until after this date but will still be factored into group totals for Special Interest, provided they were earned by this time.
Similar to in the general housing assignments process, in the event that multiple groups maintain the same exact number of combined PATH credits, a random number will be assigned to determine which house is assigned first. Student Groups that either are not approved for SIH, or those who receive an assignment and opt to decline, will be able to have a second attempt by participating in the general student housing assignments process. More information specifically addressing the Special Interest and general housing assignments process(es) will be made available late fall.
