As of 4:45 PM on Friday, April 10, students eligible to participate in the housing lottery received their time slot to select a room. You can see your time slot at sage.erezlife.com now. You may also create roommate groups and view rooms that you are eligible for now. The system allows you to "star" your favorite rooms for ease of access during your time slot.
During your time slot, the roommate with the earliest time will be able to select beds/rooms within a room or suite for the entire roommate group, as long as you are in a roommate group that matches the size of the room you would like to select. To select a double room, you will need a group of two students. To select a triple room, you will need a group of three students. To select a quad or UHCS suite, you will need a group of four students.
Our team will be offering virtual office hours during the housing selection period so you can get real-time support as you select your room. Whether you have questions about the selection process, need help troubleshooting, or have questions about buildings, we are here for you. Those with timeslots on 4/13 can join at this link from 8AM - noon, and those with timeslots on 4/15 can join at this link from 8 AM - noon.
