Lottery Process
Once all applications have been collected we will generate a random lottery number for each student. Lower numbers will pick first.
- Every student must fill out an application on-line to be eligible for the lottery.
- Each applicant will receive a confirmation number. Please print this page out for your records.
- There will be certain apartments that will be designated as freshmen spaces (Commons and Meyerhoff). These spaces will not be available during the Lottery process and will be taken off line.
- Admit tickets will be available on the portal. Print them out and bring them with you to lottery. You must present your admit ticket to get into the lottery session.
- The housing sign up is a group process. You and your group members must fill an entire apartment, otherwise, we will be unable to assign you to that apartment.
- At least one member of each apartment group or representative must be present at the lottery.
- Each member of the group will be given a random lottery number. The lowest number within your group will be the number your group will use to determine your priority order. When your lottery number is called, you will select an apartment for your entire group to fill. If the apartment your group wants is already taken, you will have the option of choosing a different apartment. Please be prepared with several apartment options in the event that your first and second choices are not available.
- Your entire group is encouraged to attend the Lottery. If your apartment choices become limited during the process, you may need to make last minute group decisions about where you live. If there is not an apartment that fits your group’s criteria (i.e.: A four person apartment is no longer available) the group may need to decide who volunteers to opt out of the group or break up the group into multiple apartments.
- Rising Seniors will be the first group to select followed by rising Juniors and finally, rising Sophomores. Each class will be assigned a certain set of numbers (Seniors get 1-100, Juniors get 200-300, etc...).
- Rising Seniors/Juniors can pull in someone from a different class into their apartment group. The rising Senior/Junior should attend their regularly scheduled lottery time with their group regardless of their apartment-mate’s class standing.
- If we are not able to accommodate everyone who applies to live on campus, there will be the option of being placed on the waiting list in the order of your individual lottery number.
