Special Housing Options for 2024-25

Fast Pass for Quads and Triples

Do you want to secure a triple or quad booking in Copeland or Forest for 2024-25 with your friends ahead of room selection? We are piloting the FastPass process for 2024-25 in an effort to support returning residents who want to secure a triple or quad with their roommate group. This opt-in process will allow your roommate group to let our office know about your desire to live in a triple/quad before room selection and secure a triple/quad booking without the need to participate in room selection.

To move forward with a FastPass, please complete the following steps between March 1st and March 22nd:

Send an email to living@lclark.edu with the subject line “FastPass”
Include all members of your desired roommate group on the email
In the email, please include:
- All roommate names
- The room type (triple or quad) you are interested in
- A list of at least 3 preferences for placement. If you would like to be re-booked into your current quad/triple, please include this information in the email.

After March 22nd, we will move forward with booking roommate groups into triples and quads. We will place residents into triples and quads in the following order:

Roommate groups who want to be rebooked into the same triple/quad room they are residing in for 2023-24
We will assign in chronological order the FastPass request received between March 1st and March 22nd. We will prioritize returning residents who want to live in an LLC.
We will continue to accept FastPass requests after March 22nd, but your placement will happen after all other FastPass requests have been booked.

FastPass FAQ

In previous years, we have set aside more quads and triples for incoming students than returning students based on the belief that returning residents want to live in doubles or singles. After feedback from residents and RAs, we learned that more returning students than we anticipated may want to live in triples/quads with their friends, but don’t see as many triples or quads during room selection. We hope this process will support our returning residents into their desired housing while reducing stress during room selection and creating better housing experiences for all residents, new and returning.

The choice is up to you! As this is our first time piloting this process, we aren’t sure what demand will be like. We hope to still offer some quad/triple beds on the housing portal during room selection. Returning residents in a roommate group of four will be able to book into available quads or doubles that remain available during their room selection timeslot. However, a quad isn’t guaranteed to be available during room selection.

Leaning into Copeland Hall’s modular design Campus Living is creating a path for students who have a group between 11-16 residents in size to have their own piece of Copeland that has a mix of singles, doubles, and quads.

Only 2-3 of these groups will be piloted this next year. Priority will be given to applications that show a group’s alignment with one or more of our Campus Living foundations. For application information, please email living@lclark.edu.
