Room Lottery Process

NOTE: Students who signed up for the Room Lottery will need to log in their BISON account to select a room/suite. This can be done anywhere the students would like, but not before the students’ assigned time slot.
Below is a list of instructions to assist you/your group with completing your Room Lottery online:
(After you receive an e-mail from Residence Life and Housing with your assigned date and time, please follow these instructions.)

1. Log into your account at bison.gallaudet.edu
2. Go to Self-Service
3. Go to View My Lottery Numbers
4. Click on “Lottery Is Available” under the Lottery Status field
5. Pick a room/suite
6. Type in each individual’s name and ID number
   • IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUP OF 2:
     • Students who will live in the room/suite will choose a room on the list.
   • IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUP OF 4:
     • For suites with rooms A and B, please be sure to be CLEAR on who will be assigned to room A and room B in Carlin, Clerc, and LLRH6. Students who will live in room A will choose a room on the list. Students who will live in room B will do the same. Students who live in room A cannot choose a room for students who live in room B and vice versa.
     • For Carlin with rooms A/B/C in a suite, then #1 and #2 is for room A, #3 is for room B, and #4 is for room C. Students who will live in room A will choose a room on the list. Students who will live in room B and C will choose a room individually. Students who live in room A cannot choose a room for students who live in room B or C and vice versa.
7. Click on “SUBMIT” when you are done.
8. You are done!

MEAL PLAN SELECTION: You will not need to choose a meal plan during the Room Lottery. The 190 block meal plan will be automatically assigned to you.
NOTE: To view your room assignment and meal plan selection, go to bison.gallaudet.edu/Self-Service/Residence Life/My Contracts and choose the preferred term.
