ResLife – Room Draw

Once you have submitted your registration, you have reserved your place in Room Draw.

You will receive your lottery number and corresponding time to select a room via your Yote email the week of March 15.

Once you have signed up for housing at Room Draw, you have committed to living on campus for the following year. You may cancel your place in Room Draw by the Monday before Room Draw without penalty. After that date, but before you move into housing, the cancellation will result in a $300.00 fine. You will not be allowed to cancel housing mid-year, except under extraordinary circumstances. Even if you move out, you will still be responsible for the cost of housing for the year.

Students in their first three years who are under 21, unmarried, and who do not have dependent children.

During Room Draw, you’ll also have a chance to indicate which meal plan you would like for next year. You can adjust your meal plan for fall until the Friday of the first full week of classes.

You can designate a staff member from Residence Life to select a room for you, or designate a friend to do it. If you designate a friend, e-mail reslife@collegeofidaho.edu to let the Residence Life staff know that person is allowed to pick a room for you. 

Students who would like to request an exemption to the residency request because of extraordinary circumstances may submit a Non-Academic Petition to be reviewed by the Non-Academic Petition Committee. Petitions are reviewed on an as-needed basis. Turning in a petition means that your circumstances will be reviewed by a committee, not that you have been granted an exemption to the residency requirement. You should not make any other housing plans until you hear from the committee. Petitions are available at the Residence Life Office in Hendren Hall, and on the Residence Life webpage under the forms heading.

Register for disability-related services and complete – and have a qualified professional/treating physician complete – the Disability-Related Residential Accommodation form.  Or, contact the DALE Office at accessibility@collegeofidaho.edu or swing by McCain 201B to schedule an appointment.

Fill out an application – available here – and turn it in by Wednesday, March 10, but it will be reviewed at any time.  If you have any questions at all, please contact the Office of Residence life at reslife@collegeofidaho.edu.
