All open spaces are on the list for the December lottery. Remaining roommates have some say in who fills the space. Lists of rooms with open spaces and a list of returning students are posted outside Parrish 108. Orphan roommates may join together in one of their rooms before the lottery. Make these choices known to the Dean of Residential Life, Myrt Westphal, before the lottery by having all parties sign a note agreeing to this arrangement.
Proxies sign for absent students.
Proxy names can be obtained from Diane Watson, in Parrish 108 if not posted outside Parrish 108. If the space was empty all semester and the person who originally signed up for it is returning, that person is usually automatically placed back in the space. Orphan roommates should fill out a brief roommate questionnaire before the lottery starts. This will help match students with open spaces through honest indication of essential living habits. Orphan roommates will be consulted before someone is placed in the space, if they attend the lottery.
