Continuation at Hamilton

Preregistration

Preregistration is held in November for the following spring semester and in April for the following fall semester. In order to preregister for the fall semester, students must not have any holds and meet all other eligibility. Students who have not preregistered may be withdrawn from the College.

Housing Selection

In order to continue in college housing, returning students select their rooms for the next academic year through the housing selection at the end of the spring semester. In order to be eligible, students must have their accounts clear and have preregistered for classes for the fall semester. The housing selection information guide, updated in the middle of the spring semester, contains additional requirements pertaining to the process and student eligibility.

Meal Plan Placement

Each student must participate in a meal plan while classes are in session. All first-year and sophomore students must participate in the 21-meal plan. Most junior and senior students will participate in the 7-, 14- or 21-meal plan, depending on where they live. Certain housing locations permit students to take fewer meals in the dining halls. However, all students, at a minimum, must participate in the seven-meal plan. Students with medical restrictions need to consult with the director of residential life.
