November 16-30: Lottery application open for winter/spring housing
December 1: Lottery Numbers are emailed to students
December 4-8: Housing offers are sent to student's Lehigh email
December 11: Waiting List is posted
Students are randomly assigned a number by a computer generated program. This is called a lottery number, and determines the order in which students are considered for housing offers.
On the application, students are asked to select preferences for housing (ie: Packer vs Saucon Village, one bedroom vs three bedroom). A student is more likely to receive an offer if they are flexible and include a first and second choice. Students should only apply for the types of housing they are willing to accept.
