Lottery numbers are available on the the "Registration Summary" step page of the Housing Portal.
What the Lottery Number Means
Every individual or group is assigned a lottery number. The lottery number determines your appointment time. Lottery numbers are weighted to point values so that students or groups with more seniority receive lower lottery numbers and earlier appointment times.
- Seniors (30 points): Lottery numbers 1 – 1000
- Juniors (20 points): Lottery numbers 2001 – 3000
- Sophomores (10 points): Lottery numbers 4001 – 5000
Mixed point groups will choose between classes. Learn more about how lottery numbers are determined.
Lottery Number FAQs
- Do bigger groups get better lottery numbers?
- No, group size does not impact lottery numbers.
- If groups or individuals have the same point value, how are lottery numbers determined?
- In this instance, lottery numbers are randomly generated. All students with a point value of 40, for example, have an equal chance at getting the first lottery number.
