These apartments are distributed based on a special lottery that is held prior to the spring lottery. Only groups of two to four students may participate in this lottery. Priority is given to groups of all seniors first, then all juniors, then all sophomores. However, a limited number of students may apply to live off campus each year. The application is available from the Office of Residential Life in late March for the following academic year and, if space permits, in November for spring semester.
Priority is given to seniors, juniors, and then sophomores requesting permission to live off campus.
Once permission is granted to live off campus, the student is responsible for finding and securing her own housing. If for any reason she decides that she wants to move back on campus, she will be placed on a waiting list and granted permission to return to campus only if there is space available. Permission is granted for the academic year or spring semester. If a student chooses to continue to live off campus, she must reapply each year. Once leave plans become final with the registrar's office, the student forfeits her space in the residence hall.
