Individual Eligibility Codes
Each eligible student is given a number code based on their class year. Note that a
student with one semester left to complete their degree is coded as a Junior, even though
their current class year is Senior.
Juniors = 1
Sophomores = 2
First Year = 3
Categories and Blocking
Students can form groups and combine their individual eligibility codes to make a group
total. The totals then fall into the categories below.
Groups of students can then block together with other groups so as to share the same
pick time to choose their separate rooms. Groups can only block within their own
category; meaning a group that falls into category 1 can only block with another group from
category 1. Category 2 can only block with category 2, and so on.
Group Eligibility Code Categories
Each category code number is the group code total, i.e. – the sum of all roommate codes.
