The Housing Lottery is the process that allows students to choose their Housing assignment for the academic year.

The housing lottery gives you the opportunity to select your preferred roommate(s), if applicable, and choose your desired housing option.

After students submit their housing application, they will be assigned a time slot based on earned credits (for groups and pairs, the individual with the highest credits will determine the time slot).
