Continuing Student Room Selection for 2008-09 housing.

If you are eligible for housing on-campus next year, you will receive an email on March 14. Remember your housing guarantee entitles you a housing space somewhere on campus, and not necessarily at Muir College. Unfortunately, depending on your Room Selection lottery time, the location and type of space you most desire may not be available.

What is the basic room selection process?

There are three steps to Room Selection.

• Apply online: The 2008 application process opens on Tuesday, April 29 and closes at midnight on Thursday, May 1.
• Sign your contract online and pay your $650 pre-payment by midnight, Thursday, May 1. Your Room Selection lottery time will be emailed to you on Thursday, May 15.
• Select your room online starting at your room selection time on Tuesday, May 20.

I have a special circumstance. Do I get a better lottery time?

All students have the same chance in room selection. We don’t give priority to any group of students, including athletes, scholars or people who are currently living in triples.

However, if you have a medical special housing need, you may apply for OSD status. Please contact the Office for Students with Disabilities on 858 534-4382 or at osd@ucsd.edu as soon as possible. They will evaluate your individual housing needs and ensure that they are met.

I want to live with a friend from another college, can I do that?

We do have limited all-campus housing this year, at Warren.

To apply, you will select all-campus during the application process (steps 1 and 2 above). You will have to create a group by May 6 of 4 or 5 students which can be no more than 2/3rds from one college. Your group will receive a joint lottery time, and you will attempt to select a room on May 13 using this lottery time. If your group does not select a space on May 13 you will be returned to the Muir pool to continue in the Muir room selection process as an individual without penalty. You will receive a new lottery time on May 15.

I want to live in a coed apartment, can I do that?

Absolutely. Applications for coed apartments will be available at the Muir Residential Life Office from March 17. Please note that you must also apply online as detailed in steps 1 and 2 above. More details about the Coed process will be available soon.
