If you have chosen to enter the Housing
Lottery, you will need to go back to BannerWeb between Feb 23 - March 4
to access your House Choice Form. This form allows you to indicate five house
preferences. When you logon to BannerWeb and access your House Choice Form
you will be notified of your lottery number. The range of lottery numbers reflects
the number of students in each class who have elected to enter the lottery
to change houses. The approximate range of lottery numbers for each class is
as follows:
For the college to ensure each class
year is represented in each house, quotas for each class year are calculated
for each house. These quotas reflect the number of spaces available for each
class year in each house. To assist you in making your house choices, these
quotas will be available when you log onto BannerWeb to access your House Choice
Form. To determine the quotas: (1) We calculate each class year as a percentage
of the campus total, (2) We then apply that percentage for each class year
to each house's capacity, the result represents the number spaces in each house
for each class year, (3) We then subtract the number of students in each class
year returning to each house from the number of spaces in each house for each
year. The result represents the number of spaces available for each class year
in each house for students to lottery into. For example, if the percentages
for the Class of '10 is 24 percent, the Class of '11 is 20 percent, the Class
of '12 is 31 percent and the Class of '13 is 25 percent, the quotas for a house
with a capacity of 100 would look like this:
You will have the best chance of receiving an
assignment in a house with a large number of openings for students in your
class year. The combination of lottery number, available space, and the number
of students interested in a house will determine the likelihood of being assigned
one of your house choices.
