Please be aware that by logging in after your designated lottery time, you may have a smaller selection of spaces to choose from.

Selecting a Room

• Students will select their room from available spaces during Room Selection Sign-Up.  No need to provide a preference - the choice is yours based on what is available at your designated lottery time.
