Campus Lottery Platform: Administering the Lottery

Prior to the first lottery, all eligible students will receive a letter from the Director of Housing Operations showing their lottery points. Students then decide who they want to live with and determine their total group points for the lottery. If they're lotterying for a mod in which some of the group currently lives, each of the current mod residents may add an additional squatter's point to the total, but for that specific mod only. Lottery groups MUST have all the lottery point letters for each student in their group at the lottery, even if the student is not present. The mod and dorm lotteries will be held in Franklin Patterson Hall. A majority of any group must be present. Students unable to attend must send their lottery letter with someone from their group. Mods will only be lotteried in their entirety (including doubles). We have tried to order the lottery according to "desirability". If your group has the highest points for the particular size mod that is up for lottery, and you have squatter's points, your current mod continues to be your mod the next year. Remember, squatter's points are only given for residents of one mod who are lotterying for the exact same mod. If it's a four-person mod and two current residents of that mod are part of the 4-person group, there will be two squatter's points given to the group. If your group has the highest points and you do not have squatter's points, you pick which 4-person mod you want. In case of a tie, the group with squatter's points will be given the mod. When two or more groups have an equal number of points (without squatter's points), a drawing out of a hat will be held to determine the winner.
