Available Housing

You can use the Available Housing report to generate a list of number of available rooms (of specific capacity) in selected campus buildings on a particular date.

The report displays only those rooms where the selected date falls between the lease start date and end date.

If you frequently generate reports with the same selection criteria, you can save the selection criteria under a name. This makes it easier to generate reports in the future with the same selection criteria.

    Note: If you entered special characters like *, -, !, (, or ) in the report fields, Anthology Student automatically prepends an apostrophe to those field values upon export to Excel or CSV.
