Housing Lottery information will be available via myCU on Thursday, March 12 at 8:00am (Please note original announcement said March 9, but there has been a change). For you to receive your lottery number, you must complete your Housing Contract online. You may access this by logging into your myCU account and selecting the housing link located at the bottom left of the main page. You will need to choose the 2020 – 2021 academic year.
The Housing Lottery will be held on March 31 (All Apartments and PIT Plan) April 7 (Rising Senior Night), April 9 (Rising Juniors) and April 14 (Rising Sophomores) (see lottery information below) in the Student Center Multipurpose Rooms. Students entering their 5th year are not required to live on campus but can be issued lottery numbers upon request. Please stop by the Residence Life office for more information. Students that can not attend lottery will be able to complete a proxy form which will grant permission for another student to select their housing. The student selecting housing must have a completed copy of the Proxy Form with them to select housing for the student not attending lottery.
MULTIPLE SELECTION: Multiple selection will take place on March 31, designated for groups who want to live in suites larger than 4 person, or apartments on campus. Students may sign-up in groups of 2, 3, 4, 6 or 7, regardless of their cohort. Once the group size is decided the group must submit the “Multiple Selection Form” on Knight Life. Students may only apply for two group sizes. Placement is based on an average of the collective lottery numbers. Groups cannot be increased or decreased in size after submitting an application.
Multiple Selection Form – Due March 24 at 4:30pm* Multiple Selection Form – PIT Plan *Due March 24 at 4:30pm*
Group lottery numbers will be sent via email to primary contact on March 30.
FIRST YEAR STUDENTS: If you receive a “high lottery number”, you may be interested in the “Pit Plan” which allows you to choose a double room in Hamlin-Powers without attending the lottery; by doing so you will avoid a long wait. The rooms on the fourth floor and center core of Hamlin Powers are not available for pre-lottery selection. You may sign up for up to 6 blocks of rooms with friends, the form will be available via Knight Life on March 9 : Pit Plan Form * Due March 24 at 4:30pm*
