About 440 students at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte still need university housing for the fall semester, which starts Aug. 22, The Charlotte Observer reported.
“It’s an unexpected number,” Christy Jackson, the university’s senior director of communications, told the Observer.
The paper obtained an email that the university’s Housing and Residence Life office sent to affected students, which read, “As a result of the high demand and a lack of cancellations that we typically see by this point in the summer, we anticipate that we will not be able to assign you to a space prior to the start of fall semester.”
According to the university’s housing agreement, students who apply for housing by June 1 are guaranteed a room on campus for the fall.
The university said its goal is to find all those students housing before classes start, but “we just don’t have it for you yet,” Jackson said.
