Autumn Quarter Lottery Results

Overall First-Round Lottery Statistics

In the 2011-12 Lottery there were a total of 5325 students who applied for Graduate Housing. That represents an increase of 118 applications over the previous year, largely from new graduate students. Despite the construction of additional graduate housing in 2009-10, the available spaces have not been able to keep pace with the increase in graduate enrollment over the last few years. Of the total applicants, 2,230 were renewals. After the first round there were 165 new students unassigned and 504 continuing students unassigned. For more details, see below.

New Graduate Students:

  • All of the 158 new students who were willing to live anywhere were assigned.
  • There were 15 first-year graduate couples without children whose restricted choices and high lottery numbers did not allow us to offer them an assignment.

Continuing Graduate Students:

  • In the first-round Lottery, 286 continuing students applied for Couple without Children Housing.
  • 202 students renewed their current apartments, 17 students were assigned and 67 students were not assigned.
  • Of the unassigned students, 57 have assignment priority years remaining and 10 are without priority years.
  • Almost all of the continuing students assigned were law students with the Munger priority, exempt staff or medical accommodations.
  • No continuing couples without children without assignment priority years were assigned in the regular lottery.

Students who requested to be in a group were given a common number.

New graduate students who select that they are willing to live anywhere on campus are guaranteed housing. In the first round of assignments the Munger apartments were not automatically assigned out of the final choice “assign me anywhere on campus” due to their price. In addition to the higher cost options, the autumn only selections are also not included in the final choice. These options were only assigned to students who specifically listed them as a choice on their applications.

  • Out of the 2,105 new students who applied for single graduate housing, 1,955 were assigned.
  • 173 of those assigned were GSB assignments to the Schwab Residential Center.
  • There are 150 new students who were not assigned after the first round.
  • 78 of the unassigned new students are still guaranteed because they indicated that they were willing to live anywhere.

Continuing Graduate Students:

  • In the first-round Lottery, 2497 continuing students applied for Single Graduate Housing.
  • There were 1,879 single graduate students who  elected to renew their current apartments.

  • Four of the 51 continuing single graduate students without assignment priority years were assigned, although not as part of the regular Lottery.
  • All of these assignments to continuing single students were made to law students with the Munger priority, medical accommodations or exempt staff.

References to students seeking assignment apply to students who currently live off-campus and are seeking on-campus housing. Students seeking reassignment refers to students who currently live on-campus and are seeking new housing in a different category due to a change in marital or family status or students whose housing is not available for winter. Reassignments within the same category of housing are made through the Continuous Assignments process after the demand from students without housing has been met (unless there is a change in family size).

Assignments were offered per the assignment priority system and the waiting list reassignment process. Guaranteed students are considered for assignment first, students seeking reassignment second (new students before continuing), followed by students seeking assignment (new students before continuing).

Single Students: In the Waiting List assignment round, all of the guaranteed students and those students seeking reassignment were assigned. A small number of new graduate students seeking assignment were offered housing. Some continuing Law students were assigned beyond the general cut off due to the priority they receive to Munger Graduate Residence.

Couples without Children: There were a limited number of unfurnished and furnished apartments available in Escondido so we were only able to accommodate some of students seeking reassignment. There were no vacancies in Munger Graduate Residence for couples without children.

Students with Children: All of the students seeking reassignments were assigned in the Waiting list.

References to students seeking assignment apply to students who currently live off-campus and are seeking on-campus housing. Students seeking reassignment refers to students who currently live on-campus and are seeking new housing in a different category due to a change in marital or family status or students whose housing is not available for spring. Reassignments within the same category of housing are made through the Continuous Assignments process after the demand from students without housing has been met (unless there is a change in family size).

Assignments were offered per the assignment priority system and the waiting list reassignment process. Guaranteed students are considered for assignment first, students seeking reassignment second (new students before continuing), followed by students seeking assignment (new students before continuing).

Single Students: In the Waiting List assignment round all of the students who did not have restricted choices were assigned.

Couples without Children: In the Waiting List assignment round all of the students who were seeking reassignment and did not have restricted choices were reassigned and only one student who does not currently live on campus was assigned.
