Housing Lottery

The 2008-2009 Housing Selection process begins in January and continues throughout much of the Spring 2008 Semester.  These pages contain information pertaining to all areas of the selection process and Housing Lottery.  This year Housing Selection has many exciting new aspects to it, hopefully making the process easier, faster, and more transparent.  In addition to new technology like online form submission and status tracking added last year, we have also added an online Roommate Finder listing to My Lottery for this year.

Please note the following about the 2008-2009 Housing Selection process:

• In order to make housing selection as easy as possible for our students, our once standard $100.00 upfront Housing Deposits have been replaced by a $100.00 Housing Contract Cancellation Fee.  This means that if you are serious about living in Clark Housing you will not need to pay to enter Housing Selection or Lottery.  Students who elect to apply for Housing Selection but decide against selecting a room or are granted a Housing Appeal will be charged the $100.00 at that time.
   
• The number and availability of specific spaces and configurations (for example "how many 6 person suites are available for lottery in Maywood Street Hall?") are available!  You will find this information and more on our real time Rooms Available For Lottery page.
  
  
• Students participating in the 5th year program can now participate in the undergraduate room selection process for Blackstone Hall only.  They will need to be part of a group of students in order to select a space in Blackstone Hall, and will have to apply using My Lottery and will need to sign, abide by, and agree to the terms of the Undergraduate Housing Contract..  They may also apply for Graduate Housing.  Graduate Housing Applications will be available beginning March 31, 2008.
  
  
• Lottery Class standing is projected by adding 4 credits to the number of credits accrued at the conclusion of the Fall 2007 Semester as reported by the Registrar's Office. The total number of anticipated credits is used to find Lottery Class.  To obtain Junior status you must have 14 or more credits.  To obtain Senior Status you must have 22 or more credits.  Lottery Class standing is final.
  
  
• Please remember that all students are required to live in housing for four semesters. All sophomores are required to live on-campus unless participating in a study abroad program.
