Selection Process Details
Apartment Selection
First Step of Apartment Selection
- Who participates: Fully matched groups of 2,3 or 4 roommates who are apartment eligible. To be apartment eligible, you need to have achieved 60 units by the first day of fall classes.
- What is the Apartment Raffle? First Phase: The first phase is a process that organizes apartment-eligible groups by seniority (class credit) and guarantees apartments starting with the highest-ranking roommate group until all apartment spaces are filled.
- How priority/seniority is determined: Priority is given to current Biola Housing residents who will be seniors in the coming school year (88+ credits in progress). The more upcoming seniors who are also living in Biola Housing that you have in your roommate group, the higher your priority will be.
