Important please read:
All anticipated roommates must be present at Room Selection unless a proxy and proxy paperwork has been established.
What is a Proxy?
A Proxy is someone who will choose a room in your place if you cannot attend your scheduled Room Selection timeframe. Failure to have a completed Proxy Form when your group is called will result in you/your group being passed over, and may forfeit your position in the Selection Process.
*A student can identify a Res Life Staff member to act as their Proxy, i.e. Director of Residence Life*

Room Selection Process
Students will select rooms in order of their Group Lottery Number. The students Group with the lowest Group Lottery Number will go first.
Reshuffling Process
Reshuffling happens when your Group is called and the type of room you wanted is no longer available. If your Group remains intact, you may divide and pick a new space immediately. If you would like to add another person to your group, your new Group Priority will be re-considered, noting that seniority plays a role.
