This policy provides information about the housing selection process known as Room Draw. We hope this information answers questions and diminishes anxiety you may have regarding Room Draw. The goal of our housing program is to provide safe, clean, and comfortable living arrangements that enhance opportunities for students to successfully achieve their academic goals at Carleton.

The dates you need to know for the housing selection process.

Because we believe it is important to keep an appropriate gender balance in all of our communities, we do find it necessary to specifically designate male and female spaces in each community. As space allows on each floor, there will be some double rooms designated for male, some for female, and some that can be drawn in any designation. Single rooms will continue to be designated by gender so that an equal number of single rooms are available to both women and men. Specific lists of rooms available for male, female, or co-ed housing will be updated on this website beginning on May 3 and will be updated daily. It is possible that, in order to keep a gender balance in a particular community or to allow for all students to attempt to draw a room during room draw, some rooms may be switched from one gender to the other at the start of the night. Please note that rooms with an "*" are drawn separately. These rooms share a bathroom.

All high capacity rooms (quads, quints, and sextets) will not have a gender designation on them for room draw. These rooms will be open to any groups of students to draw into. Specific lists of rooms available for male, female, or co-ed housing will be updated on this website beginning on May 3 and will be updated daily.
