Housing Selection

This year marks the third year of our online housing selection process. We believe that online housing offers students more access to housing information, more opportunities, and increased convenience.

Students will be able to select their housing from anywhere in the world, provided they have access to a web browser. You will be able to select from the comfort of your own room and you will not have to wait in any lines to do so. Gettysburg was only the second school in the country to use this sofware and we learned a great deal from last year's process.

On Monday, March 24, 2008, all students will receive access to "How To" instruction booklet with information about the online housing selection process, a lottery number, and a lottery time. Students will be asked to identify a set of roommates in their own class year before housing selection and will be required to confirm each other as roommates. The best lottery number will select housing for your group.  Students won't receive a lottery number if any of the following apply: 

• Students who are accepted to live in a theme house
• Members of the Residence Life staff (or their roommates)
• Fraternity members who are required to live in their fraternity house
• Commuters
• Students who are approved to live off-campus
• Students who will not be on campus during the Fall 2008 Semester (including those who will be studying abroad)
• First-year students who have not successfully completed the FYE program

To help students manage housing options, floor charts and room information for all residence halls will be available online through the my "MyHousing"option in CNAV beginning Monday, March 24, 2008.

Please review the following information (in pdf format) and contact the Office of Residence Life, CUB 250, if you have any questions.
