Private Room Lottery

Returning students who have submitted a Fall 24/Spring 25 contract by January 31st will be eligible to enter the Private Room Lottery.

• An email will be sent to students who qualify which will include instructions on how to enter the lottery.
• Students will be notified if they have received a Private Room and steps to select their room by email.
• There are a limited number of spaces in the selected residence hall.

Special Interest Housing 

There will be two rounds of self-selection for Special interest Housing. The round you will take part in will be determined by the date you were approved to be part of the community. 

• Round One: TBD
• Round Two: TBD

Students will only be allowed to select a room on the floor of the Residence Hall the community has been assigned to. Only students who are approved to be in a community can live there. This includes requested roommates. Students no longer interested in being part of the Special Interest Housing community must complete a request to be removed from the community.  This allows them to select another space on campus if their preferred roommate is not approved for the community.
