The Room Draw process is intended to provide for the equitable assignment of
rooms through a combination of seniority, random number generation and personal
choice. This process is strictly governed by the rules which follow.
Room Draw Numbers
Room Draw numbers are generated by
computer and assigned
randomly according to class, as defined by the Registrar,
Seniors-to-be given priority, then Juniors-to-be, followed by Sophomores-to-be.
A list of students and their draw numbers will be sent via Pomona email and
will be posted on Friday, April 11.
Friendship Suites
Students wishing to draw into a suite together must complete the appropriate
application by Thursday, April 10 at 5:00 PM (no late applications will be
accepted for any reason).
Priority will be based on the averaged room draw numbers of each group.
The names of group members and the averaged numbers will be sent out to all Friendship Suite
applicants.
Application For Friendship SuiteFriendship Suite Draw will be held in Smith Campus Center room 201. At least one student representing each group must be
present when their number is called.

A student or a proxy must be present when his/her number is called.
Proxy Form
Priority in Room Draw
Doubles and singles will be offered at the same time and will be drawn in the
order established by the lottery numbers, with the lowest number having highest
priority. Students with the best number will be able to "pull in" their
roommates. All students being pulled in or their proxies must be present at the
time of selection to verify that they wish to live in the chosen housing
situation. These students then do not participate further in the room draw
process.
For example: Sally has a draw number (DN) of 250. When her number is
called she chooses to select a double room with Janice. It does not matter what
Janice’s draw number is. When Steve’s number (DN-251) is called, he selects a
single. Deferred Housing
In the event there are students who have not been able to
draw a room during Room Draw, they should file a Deferred Housing Form.
These students are guaranteed housing and will be assigned during the third week
in August. Deferred Housing Form The procedure for assigning rooms is as follows: Over the
course of the summer, many rooms become vacant due to students deciding to move
off campus, going on leave or deciding for various reasons not to return to
Pomona in the fall. Also, after the new students are housed, there are
generally rooms left that were previously held out for sponsor group areas. In
mid-August, assignments will be made using room draw numbers for priority.
Housing assignments will be sent via Pomona email approximately August 20.
Room Change Requests
If you have selected a room during Double/Single Room Draw
and wish a room change, please complete a Room Change Request Form. Room
Change Request Form You do not give up your room to enter the room
change pool. Your room draw number is used to determine priority and if a
requested room becomes available, the change will be made. Time does not allow
for you to be contacted prior to the change in assignment. Housing assignments
will be sent via Pomona email approximately August 20.
