Do not despair! Fortunately, there are many off-campus student apartment complexes near the University that can provide suitable housing. Also, the University has a Student Neighborhood Relations office that serves as a source of information to help students find off-campus housing accommodations, apartments and/or roommates.
Do not assume you have been assigned to on-campus housing. Based upon your housing application received date, a housing confirmed date will be given to you as space becomes available.
