Lottery Points

All room/suite/house selections will be based on individual or group lottery points, depending on the Room Lottery Option you choose.

The higher number of lottery points you have, the better chance you have of selecting the room/suite/house you want.

Formula

The formula that our office utilizes to obtain individual student points for the Room Lottery process is:

• Take the total number of cumulative credits student earned as of December 2020
  • Transfer students: All transferred credits will be added to the total number of credits earned
• Multiply total number of credits by cumulative GPA as of December 2020

The table below illustrates a sample Group of Four.

Student	Total Number of Credits Earned	x	Cumulative GradePoint Average	=	Points
1	100	x	2.0	=	200
2	75	x	3.0	=	225
3	125	x	2.25	=	281.25
4	50	x	4.0	=	200
			TOTAL POINTS:		906.25
