Assignments were offered first to single students who were living in winter-only housing locations (Escondido Village lowrises and Escondido South) followed by guaranteed first-year students, high-priority first-year students, continuing students with medium priority, continuing students with low priority, continuing students who have used all of their years, and finally non-matriculated students. Within each priority assignment group, students were assigned by lottery number. Many of the unassigned students will be assigned in the spring quarter continuous assignments.
Single Students: In the Waiting List assignment round, we were able to accommodate all students who were willing to live in any residence. Only students who limited their preferences were not assigned.
Couples without Children: We were only able to accommodate guaranteed students, high-priority students and about a third of the continuing students with medium priority. We were unable to assign the other students who applied.
Students with Children: We were able to assign the all of the students who who were willing to live in any residence. Only students who limited their preferences were not assigned.
If you were unassigned in this round, move your application to the continuous assignments round. We will continue to assign students as we receive additional cancellations until the fifth Friday of Spring Quarter.

Assignments were offered first to single students who were living in autumn-only housing locations (Mirrielees, Escondido Village lowrises, and Escondido South) followed by guaranteed first-year students, high-priority first-year students, continuing students with medium priority, continuing students with low priority, continuing students who have used all of their years, and finally non-matriculated students. Within each priority assignment group, students were assigned by lottery number. Many of the unassigned students will be assigned in the winter quarter continuous assignments.
Single Students: In the Waiting List assignment round, we were able to accommodate all of the students moving from autumn-only housing locations and the most of the guaranteed and high priority first-year students, there are a small number of high priority first year students still waiting. We were able to assign a small number of continuing students with medium and low priority due to priorities for the GSB Residences, the Law priority to Munger, medical accommodations and students who were willing to live in the Oak Creek two bedroom, triples. We were unable to assign continuing students without priority or non-matriculated students in the first round.
Couples without Children: We were only able to accommodate guaranteed students, high-priority students and about a third of the continuing students with medium priority. We were unable to assign the other students who applied.
Students with Children: We were able to assign the all of the students who were matriculated and were not able to offer housing to the nonmatriculated students at this time.
If you were unassigned in this round, move your application to the continuous assignments round. We will continue to assign students as we receive additional cancellations until the fifth Friday of Winter Quarter.
