GROUPS Administrators

  • Groups must be sponsored by a department in order to be considered for Extension Housing and not all groups will be approved.
  • Group Administrators must create their group online via the AGORA Portal. Click on My Res Life under My Services, then select Web Forms, then Group Transitions, then Create Group under Spring Extensions.
  • If for some reason your group needs to arrive or depart outside the standard dates, please include in your comments the complete details of your situation. Requesting a date outside the normal range may delay the processing of your group. Group approval is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of Residential Life.
  • Once you create your group it must be approved by Residential Life before your students can apply as part of your group. Once your group is approved, your students should use the above instructions for applying as part of your group.
  • Group Administrators must approve their list of group members before the students' applications are reviewed.
  • Groups that require housing for the entirety of winter break must create both Extension and Early Arrival Groups.
  • Please allow up to 3 business days for all processing.
