Room Squatting Requirements:

  • The room must be fully occupied (two people in a double, three in a triple, etc.)
  • Minimum of one roommate must currently occupy the room they are squatting for next year.

Room Draw

Room Draw is the process for returning students who want to select a new residence hall room for the upcoming school year. Students are given preference based on class standing. Students with full rooms are also given priority.

  • Students must complete the Room Squatting & Room Draw Participation Form to participate in room draw.
  • Students interested in living in a single-occupancy room (not a double held as a single) or triple participate in a preliminary room draw process due to the limited availability of these types of rooms. If a student does not get their desired room, then they will attend Room Draw the following night.
  • Room Draw for all residence halls will be held 9:00pm in the Chapel.
