Room Selection Lottery
Current students, including students beginning residency in January, who wish to live in the Residence Halls for the following academic year must participate in an event called the Room Selection Lottery. MVCC feels that a Room Selection Lottery is the fairest way to allocate the limited number of spaces available to returning students.
What is the Room Selection Lottery?
The process in which any current student who wishes to live in the Residence Halls next year is randomly assigned a computer generated "Lottery Number". This number identifies if a student is guaranteed housing, what order the student will choose their room, and with whom they will choose a room.
Does Everyone Get A Room?
Unfortunately, space is limited for returning students. Not all returning students can be guaranteed on-campus housing for next year. However, we are pleased that New Hall allowed us to increase the number of returning students we are able to accommodate. Approximately the 1st 200 students, proportionately split between participating males and females, are guaranteed a room. All others will be on the waiting list. The College does provide assistance with off-campus housing referrals for students not able to secure on-campus housing.
How to participate:
1. Room Selection Lottery Information Packets are available in the New Hall Office or the Residence Life Office beginning in late February.
2. All registration forms must be returned to Auxiliary Services no later than the publicized deadline. A $100.00 Security/Damage deposit for the next academic year is required with the registration form. Students failing to meet this deadline will be placed at the bottom of the waiting list.
