Q.
How do you determine who gets what lottery number?
A.
Lottery numbers are computer-generated randomly for each group (Upper Class - A numbers and returning Freshman and Sophomore - B numbers).
Q.
How will I know if I am getting a lottery number in the A or the B group?
A.
Students who have accumulated 52 credits or more at the end of the spring 2011 semester will be in the A lottery number group. Students who have accumulated 51 or fewer credits as of the end of the spring 2011 semester will be in the B lottery number group.
Q.
Can I give my lottery number to someone else?
A.
Lottery numbers are not transferrable for any reason.
Q.
My friend is coming to KSC in the fall as a first year/transfer student and we want to live together - is that possible?
A.
Only current on-campus students, and student returning from Study Away or Leave of Absence, are eligible to participate in the housing selection event. Spaces cannot be held for fall 2011 incoming students.
Q.
What happens if I received a lottery number, attended the housing selection event and there were no more rooms available?
A.
Be sure to place a housing deposit during the March 28 - April 8 timeline. This will place you on the housing waitlist.
Q.
If I have a lottery number, do I have to pay a housing deposit to be on the waitlist?
A.
Yes - if you don't pay the housing deposit, you will not be on the housing waitlist.
Q.
If I'm on the waitlist, when will I find out if housing is available for fall 2011?
A.
We will be contacting students in lottery number order beginning the last week in April, and continuing for several weeks, potentially into the summer months.
New for 2011-2012, returning sophomores who are current residential students are guaranteed housing and will be offered housing from the waitlist as spaces become available.
Q.
Where is gender inclusive housing offered?
A.
For upperclassmen, gender inclusive housing is offered in Bushnell, Tisdale, and Pondside 2 apartments. Sophomore gender inclusive housing is offered in Butler Court, Pondside 1, and Pondside 3 suites.
Q.
Is it true that sophomores are now guaranteed housing?
A.
Yes. Current residential students who will be returning as sophomores for the 2011-2012 year are guaranteed housing provided all housing selection deadlines and eligibility requirements are met.
Q.
Should I pay a housing deposit if I plan to study abroad during the 2011-2012 academic year?
A.
Yes - any on-campus student who wants to live on campus for the fall 2011 or spring 2012 semester should pay a housing deposit.
Q.
I'm currently studying abroad - do I need to place a housing deposit?
A.
Not if you had a housing deposit on file prior to studying abroad for the spring 2011 semester - that deposit will be deferred to your return.
Q.
Why must I pay my housing deposit via the online event?
A.
When you pay the housing deposit at the online event link, you are consenting to the Terms and Conditions of the Housing Contract.
Q.
Can I pay with cash or a check since I don't have a credit card?
A.
No payments will be accepted via cash. You can pay with an e-check during the online deposit event.
Q.
Can I pay via Quick Pay?
A.
No payments will be accepted via Quick Pay.
Q.
What happens if I don't pay the housing deposit?
A.
Students who don't pay the housing deposit will forfeit their housing selection. Students who are on the housing waitlist will be removed from the list.
Q.
Will my deposit be refunded if I decide to live off campus?
A.
If you choose a room during the housing selection event, and place a housing deposit during the March 28 - April 8 event, the housing deposit will be forfeited if you decide to live off campus.
Q.
Under what conditions will I get my deposit back?
A.
If you are on the waitlist your deposit will be refunded only if you notify our office that you have found off campus housing before we contact you to offer a room.
