incoming residents.
Decide where you want to live
 If you are not choosing your Same Room…
 Plan ahead for at least a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice!
1
For example:
 1st choice: North Avenue Suite Single
 If they are all taken... Do I try for a North Ave Suite Double or a
Grand Mesa Single?

2nd
choice: Grand Mesa Single
 What if they are all taken as well?
 3rd choice: Monument Double
Choose your roommates, suite/apartment-mates!
 Review the Roommate Selection Guide
 Set up your “Roommate Group” (if you have one) prior to the
2
earliest lottery in which your group can participate.
 Make sure everyone in your group has mutually requested
each other so that you have a “fully matched” group.
 Make sure you all agree on a plan! Which building, who goes
in which room type within the suite, etc.
 Remember, anyone you confirm as a mutual roommate
can pull you in to a room!
If you choose to select your Spring assignment for the
upcoming academic year during the Same Room Lottery
you cannot have roommate requests. You will get an error:
You cannot pull roommates into your room or suite during
the Same Room Process because that would take away
another resident’s right to have first dibs on their room.
If you choose to select a space within your Spring
suite or apartment for the upcoming academic year
during the Same Suite/Apartment Lottery. . .
Be aware of your roommate requests.
You cannot have more roommate requests than the
total available spaces in your suite or apartment.
For example, if you are in an 8-person Grand Mesa suite and
only 6 spaces are available after the same room lottery, you
plus your roommates cannot equal more than 6 in order to
select your suite.
However, you can have less than 6. You do not have
to fill every bed. Also, if you have a friend in your
roommate group who is assigned before you select,
that roommate will not be counted in your total.
If you choose to select a new room, suite or apartment for the
upcoming academic year during one of the New Room
Lotteries. . .
Be aware of your roommate requests.
You plus your roommates cannot be greater than the total
available spaces in the room, suite or apartment that you
would like to select.
Examples:
You will not be shown any Tolman double rooms if you have
more than one roommate request.
You will not be shown any Monument suites if you have more
than three roommate requests.
If, after the previous lotteries, there are four (or less) beds left
in any Grand Mesa suite you won’t be able to see any
spaces in Grand Mesa if you plus your roommates is
greater than four.
