2008-2009 Apartment & Annex Lottery Information

All of the non-theme based Apartments and Annexes applications will be on ONE application with ONE deadline for all areas.  Within this packet, you will find all the necessary forms that you will need to apply for the Apartment and Annex Lottery.  

The Apartment & Annex Lottery is based on a group’s combined lottery number, with priority going to those groups with the lowest total.  Please follow these steps to apply for the Apartment and Annex Lottery.

Step 1:  Form a group.  Groups can range from 1 to 8 students of the same gender. Individuals may only be a member of ONE group, not various groups.  Please review the following table about the numbers, qualifications, and guidelines for the various Apartments and Annexes.
