Single Room Lottery General Timeline and Process

• Mid-Late February:
  • Single Room Lottery page opens to current residents to sign up for the single room lottery.
    • Go to https://portalx.housing.uwosh.edu to sign up for the lottery.
    • Students with already complete applications only need to indicate their preference for a Single Room on the Single Room Lottery page and click “Save & Continue” to confirm.

• Late February:
  • Single Room Lottery page closes.
    • Note: Students wishing to be considered for the Single Room Lottery must have a complete housing application by the Single Room Lottery deadline. 

• Early March:
  • Notification goes out to students who receive a single room for next year.
    • Notification will be sent to your UWO e-mail account.
    • Students not receiving a single room will be notified as well.

Applying for the lottery is not associated with choosing a specific room (meaning you will still need to pick a room whether you receive a single or not.)

General Single Room Lottery Information

• Each and every resident desiring a single room must apply for the single room lottery. This includes anyone currently in a single room, regardless of how obtained.

• If you require a single for medical reasons you MUST submit the appropriate documentation to the Accessibility Center/Dean of Students office.

• If you have a single room as a documented housing accommodation or recommended room assignment through Accessibility Services and will return to campus next year, you must complete the Single Room Lottery page indicating your interest in a Single Room.

Single Room Distribution

A limited number of single rooms will be allotted for the upcoming school term. There will not be a predetermined number of men’ s or women’s singles. Only those individuals who successfully participated in the Single Room Lottery will be eligible to be granted a single room.

NOTE: Time of Housing Application completion and/or time of Single Room Lottery completion does NOT impact the awarding of Single Rooms.

Anyone required to live on campus who has received a single room as a documented housing accommodation or as a recommended room assignment through Accessibility Center/Dean of Students office will be granted a single. These will then be subtracted from the total number of singles available.

If space permits, the remaining applications will form the single room waiting list.
