Students are making plans to select rooms for next year and quite a few are also looking for roommates as well. The Office of Residence Life will host a “Meet and Greet” event on Tuesday, March 26th between 6-9pm in Johnson Dining Room. The goal of this event is to provide a forum for students that are looking for roommates to meet similar students and determine if they will be compatible to live together next year. I would highly encourage first year students to attend this event!
It’s hard to believe, but it’s that time of year! Students must pay a re-enrollment fee which will allow students to participate in room selection and registration. Both of these events are coming up soon so it’s pertinent that students turn in their $200 immediately, if they have not already done soon.
The deadline for the re-enrollment was due on Friday, March 15. Did you’ll miss the deadline? If so, your daughter can pay in cash or check today in the Business Office (third floor Prothro). Parents and students can also pay online with debit or credit cards by clicking here.
Unsure if your daughter needs to pay the re-enrollment fee? Students can access their financial account online at any time under:
“mysbc.edu” Go to MY ACADEMICS and View STUDENT ACCOUNTS
Students will see their balance and activity as well as HOLDS on accounts. Financial aid information is available under the FINANCIAL AID heading as well.
Important dates by which student accounts must be current in order to participate:
March 15
Room deposits or Re-Enrollment fees are due. This $200 deposit is non refundable and must be paid before a student can participate in the Room Selection Process.
March 19-22
Room Number Draw (Students randomly select a number which determines the order in which they will select their room for next year)
April 2
Room Selection (The process by which a student and her roommate(s) sign up for their specific room for next year.)
April 10
Registration begins for Fall Term classes begin.
A student may not participate in Room Selection nor Fall Term registration unless all student account balances are paid. Should there be questions contact the following offices located on the 3rd floor Student Commons:
Business Office – Rita Cash, Accounts Receivable Coordinator, 381-6200, rcash@sbc.edu
Financial Aid – Wanda Spradley, Associate Director Financial Aid, 381 -6156, spradley@sbc.edu

We are busily preparing to welcome the class of 2016 on August 25th! We placed the new student packets in the mail today. I know the new students are anxiously awaiting the envelope containing their housing information for th
is fall! While I know it is very exciting to find out your roommate so you can begin the process of getting to know each other; we strongly encourage students and parents to review all of the material in the packet. There is a lot of other important information for your review.
Students and parents should feel free to contact Co-Curricular Life this summer if you have any questions. 434-381-6134
You may hear your daughter talking about number draw and her rooming options for next year. Today the class of 2015 gathered at lunch to randomly draw a number; this number determines the order in which students select rooms for next year. Ro
om selection will occur on April 4th.
The Office of Residence Life will post residence hall floor plans early next week. Is your daughter unsure about who she wants to live with next year? Never fear, residence Life will also host a Roommate Round-Up event on March 27th at 7:00pm in Johnson dining room. Roommate Round-up is an excellent opportunity for students to meet other students that are also looking for roommates for next year.
In addition, there are a few themed floor options available next year as well that may be of interest to your daughter:

Thanks to all of the family members that purchased daisies. Daisies were delivered to the students in their residence halls last night. What a nice way to start of the week. The proceeds from the daisy sale will go to the class of 2015 for hosting social events. Elections for first year positions occur today! It will be exciting to see which students are elected to represent their class this year.
The Office of Residence Life will host a Roommate Workshop tonight at 8:00pm in Reid Pit. All first years are encouraged to attend. The goal of the program is to assist students with learning how to live with someone else.
