Room Lottery: Second-Year Experience
Lottery process is a two-step process. First, you must complete your individual housing application on MyHousing by Monday, March 17 at 11:59 pm. Second, you complete your group application.
Group Application Deadline - Tuesday, March 18
- Students create a group (size of 2, 4, 6) and submit by deadline -Tuesday, March 18
- One group leader– this person will choose the rooms online
- Each group receives a timeslot
- Groups are divided randomly to one of the four selection days
- Available suites and rooms are divided evenly over the four selection days
- Groups either pick a room during their room selection timeslot or we will assign to available rooms after lottery is over
- Only see room/suite options for their group size
- Groups can reform during the lottery timeslot to a different size group
- If your group breaks into smaller groups, each group needs their own group leader. Consider identifying additional group leaders if you don't receive your first choice.
- The group leader must be living in the room/suite that you will choose
- New groups can only be formed from students in that lottery day
- You will receive an email with more detailed information about the process and how to choose a room
