Room Draw All enrolled graduate students are eligible to apply through Room Draw in the spring for housing for the following academic year. Applicants are randomized within their class year and assigned a lottery number. Those who apply to room draw and who are successful in the lottery for the Graduate College or the annexes are assigned a specific time to go to My Housing for Graduates select a room. Those who are successful in the lottery for an apartment will be assigned in order and should expect to receive an offer for housing in late April or early May. Wait list Students who are unsuccessful in Room Draw, but applied by the deadline, are automatically added to the waitlist in order of lottery number. Students who did not apply to Room Draw can apply to be added to the end of the list. These will be ordered based on the application date. Students who were unsuccessful in draw and submit a waitlist application will have their position maintained based on lottery number. The waitlist application will be used as a supplement to expand housing preferences. The wait list application opens in April and closes in late September. Contract offers are made on a rolling basis as vacancies allow. There is no guarantee of housing for waitlisted students and we encourage anyone on the waitlist to consider off-campus housing. Students Returning from Field Study or Leave of Absence If you are returning from a field study or a leave of absence, you may apply for housing at any point in the year. Contract offers are made on a rolling basis as vacancies allow. Visiting Student Research Collaborators (VSRCs) VSRCs may apply for housing at any time via the My Housing for Graduates website.
