Frequently Asked Questions
Want to know more about how the Room Draw Process works? Read our FAQ to learn.
Rising sophomores, juniors, seniors and fifth-year students will have the opportunity to select their own suites for the 2024-2025 academic year. Every student in each rooming group will have to submit a housing application and indicate their housing preference (i.e., Tibstra or Alumni). Students will have the ability to select a specific suite in their assigned suite during an in-person room draw. The room draw number you will be assigned (see below for process) will give you your order in the que for selecting a room (i.e., – a group that goes before you may select your top room, meaning that you need to select a different preference).
Each group will be given a room draw number and appointment time. This room draw number will be based on the following criteria: Suites that are full (all beds in the suite are claimed) and the total number of academic credits of all students in the group. For example, if Group A has 5 residents that apply for Tibstra with 240 credits and Group B has 4 residents that apply for Tibstra with 260 credits, Group A will be given the first room draw number. However, if Group C has 5 residents that apply for Tibstra with 260 credits, the rankings will go, Group C, Group A then Group B.
Room draw number and appointment time notifications will occur on Friday, April 5th for Tibstra and six-person Alumni Suites and Wednesday, April 17th for three-person and fourperson Alumni suites.
At least one representative of each rooming group must be present during their assigned room draw time slot (if all students in the group have academic conflicts, they should notify the Area Director as soon as possible). If a rooming group misses their appointment time, they will not have an opportunity to select their own suite, and a suite will be assigned to them.
Note: Some suites may not be available due to student leadership and accommodations placement. The Area Directors reserve the right to take any suite.
