Housing Lottery is a process that uses a student’s class standing and a random numbering process to systematically move students through the selection process. Students not returning to their current space and who wish to live on campus will be required to select a housing assignment through the Lottery process.

Receiving and Using Your Lottery Number:

A student participating in a Housing Lottery process who submits the correct housing forms (found in My Lottery) and
signed 2009-2010 Housing Contract to the RLH Office on time will receive a lottery number to participate in room selection. This number is generated based on your class standing. All Seniors will receive the lowest (best) numbers
followed by Juniors, then Sophomores.  You will find out your lottery number through your My Lottery account on Wednesday March 18, 2009. You may not trade or transfer this number to any other student participating in the process.

On the night of Lottery, the RLH Office will use this number to organize the selection process. We will call out numbers in order from lowest to highest. If you are part of a group of 2 or more students, your group will select when the best number in the group is called (Note that Blackstone Hall selection varies slightly from this procedure, see Blackstone Hall selection for details). Once you hear your number called, please be ready to select your room, suite or apartment with every member of your group or have the appropriate proxy form indicating permission to select a space on behalf of another student. Once you have selected a space, you may not change this assignment until the Fall 2009 semester, so choose carefully. We will have a visual aid listing all the available spaces on campus the night of the lottery. You can also find a real time list of available rooms here. This will help you strategize before your number is called.

When You Arrive at the Room Selection Process:

• Know your lottery number
• Bring your current Clark ID
• Monitor the real time list of available spaces as found on the Housing Lottery website prior to your selection time so your sign-up process can be efficient. (Time will be limited.)
• Monitor the progress of numbers called so you know when you or your group will be up.
• Be PATIENT and ENJOY the process!
