Selecting a room

• Lottery times are randomly assigned by College. Students may have the same lottery time, but are in different Colleges and are selecting from spaces only allocated to that College.
• You may log in to the Room Selection program at your designated lottery time and anytime after that up until midnight on room selection day to select a space.
• Once you’ve selected or been assigned to a space, you can login up until midnight on room selection day to check out your assignment or view your roommates.
• You may select up to 3 eligible roommates (in some cases 4 roommates, please check with your College Residence Life Office for this option).
• All selected roommates must be of the same gender and college of registration.
• Prior to selecting a space, you may view the current space availability list for your College by clicking on the “Current Spaces Available” link on the Room Selection homepage http://www.ucsd.edu/go/housing/roomselection.
• All space selections are final! Once you select a space and confirm it, you are assigned to that room or apartment. There are no room changes during Room Selection. (You may check with your College Residence Life office to see if they offer a Room Change Day).
• You will be sent a confirmation to your UCSD email account. This confirms your room assignment for the 2009-10 academic year. If you do not receive an email, immediately contact your College Residence Life Office.

Unable to login at your lottery time?

If you can’t login at your designated lottery time, you may login any time after that. You can select a space up until midnight on your Room Selection Day. Please be aware that by logging in after your designated lottery time, you may have a smaller selection of spaces to choose from.

Room selection choices

A finite number of spaces are set aside for selection by eligible continuing students. Students will be able to choose from spaces allocated to their College. Due to space limitations, the type or location of housing you prefer may not be available during your Room Selection time. All eligible students that complete the Room Selection Application process and electronically sign their Housing Contract and make their $650 prepayment are guaranteed a space on-campus.

You may view some of the available floor plans at your College of Registration in May. Please note that changes may occur and certain housing options may not be available. Check with your College Residence Life Office for further information.

We highly encourage you to view the current space availability list prior to logging in to select your space. This list will be available starting May 15, 2009. Click on the “Current Spaces Available” link on the Room Selection homepage http://www.ucsd.edu/go/housing/roomselection.

In order to better support this community, each College/Residential area is making available Housing options to create opportunities for support, identity exploration, and community building for the LGBT community and those interested in this community. Priority will go to students currently eligible for on-campus housing during the Room Selection process. Students with a current on-campus housing guarantee may indicate a preference to live in this community during the Room Selection application process.

For specific information about this program, please see your Residence Life website or contact your Resident Dean.

Students must meet all Housing deadlines. AFAs for guaranteed continuing students are due to the Residence Life Liaison by noon on April 24, 2009. For all other inquiries and dates, please contact the Residence Life Liaison by email or phone to discuss your situation.

Transgender students
