Page 5 How is My Lottery Number Calculated? Your lottery number is determined by multiplying your CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) by all credits earned at Franklin and accepted by the Registrar's Office. If you feel the number is incorrect because of credits earned transferred in and or your the Registrar's Office with your Lottery Card. Sophomore Area Example: Sally and Ann enrolled in the fall 2014 semester and are current 2nd semester freshmen and wish to live together next year. The following are their total credits and CGPA from their fall semester: Student # of Credits Sally 12 Ann 15 CGPA x 3.0 X 3.2 Lottery # 36 48 Their combined Lottery Number is 84. So they will select their housing based on where their combined number is to their Senior Area Example: Jason and Jack are 2nd semester juniors that want to live in an efficiency apartment in the Senior Area next year. The following are their total credits and CGPA up through their fall semester: Student Jason Jack # of Credits 75 60 CPGA X 3.0 x 3.5 Lottery # 225 210 The Senior Area Lottery is based on the residence capacity (not number of students submitted) average. Their Lottery Number is 435 but their Average is 217.5, so they will select their efficiency based on their average number compared to all Senior Area. Senior Area Example: Adam, Brad, Charlie, Dale, Earl, Frank, & George are 2nd semester juniors that want to live in one Lakeview Unit. Their seven-person roster Lottery total number is 1,580 and would be divided by eight residents (townhouse (6) and efficiency (2) = total capacity (8)) So their Lottery Average would be 197.50 and they will select their unit based on all students applying for any senior area residence. Student # of Credits Adam 75 Brad 60 Charlie 75 Dale 60 Earl 70 Frank 75 George 60 CGPA X 3.0 X 3.5 X 4.0 X 2.5 X 3.5 X 4.0 X 2.5 Lottery # 225 210 300 150 245 300 150 Page 6 Transfer Students Students enrolled in fall 2014 semester, your lottery number is calculated by adding your total credits earned (includes fall 2014 semester and accepted transferable credits) multiplied by your Franklin Pierce fall 2014 semester GPA. Students enrolled in the spring 2015 semester, your lottery number is calculated by multiplying the total number of accepted transferable credits by 2.70. This GPA represents the average of all fall 2014 Franklin Pierce students. This GPA is Franklin Pierce GPA. If you are not transferring in any Advanced Placement or other college credit then your lottery number submit yours and your intended roommate(s) clear Lottery Cards and still participate in Lottery Night. Students who transferred out of Franklin Pierce and have since re-enrolled at Franklin Pierce, your lottery number will be calculated by using your FP CGPA multiplied by your credits earned at Franklin Pierce and transferred in. Why are the Lottery Cards Different Colors? The Lottery Card colors are based on how many credits the University has allowed you to transfer in and/or have earned at then determines what class-level housing you are approved to live in next year. Please know that this current semester's nor are your grades in your current classes because the semester has not finished and you haven't technically earned breakdown by class-levels used to determine where students will live: # of Credits 0-25 26-55 56+ 2015-2016 Approved for Sophomore Housing Junior Housing Senior Housing Lottery Card Color Pink Orange Yellow Tours of Housing Options We know some students may not know what the inside of a residence looks like and wish to visit to make a more educated roommate(s) wish to live. On Tuesday, March 24 Residential Life staff will be showing residences and answering any Granite Suites, meet at the front exterior building entrance at 6:30pm Cheshire, Edgewood, and Monadnock Halls, meet at the Cheshire front field-side entrance at 7:00pm Junior Area Apartments, meet at the entrance to the Mt. View Community Room and Laundry Room at 8:00pm Page 7 Designed Single Rooms in Cheshire, Edgewood, Mt. Washington, or New Hampshire Designed single rooms in New Hampshire, Mt. Washington, Edgewood, and Cheshire Hall are available prior to Housing Lottery through a request process. Single rooms in these residence halls will be given first priority to those with documented health and or medical reasons. Medical documentation does not guarantee a single room. Even if you have been awarded a single room in the past you still need to submit a request for this upcoming year. Single rooms in Cheshire are $10,266 for the year while single rooms in Edgewood, Mt. Washington, and New Hampshire are $8,500 for the year. Please submit your request to [email protected] between Thursday, April 2 - Tuesday, April 7. The Assistant Dean of Student Affairs will review requests and decisions will be made via email on Wednesday, April 8 after 2 pm. If you are granted a single room and your Lottery Card is not cleared by Monday, April 27 then you forfeit your single room. Can I Live in a Different Class-Level Housing? MAYBE , Request an Exemption. All students are expected to live with their classmates in their designated class-level housing areas. We understand that some students may have transferred in AP/college credit that has bumped their housing to a higher level then they prefer. In addition there may be students that are non-traditional aged students that wish to live with older students even though their class-level may not be that of a 2015-2016 junior or senior. We also recognize and understand some students may prefer to simply be given the chance to live with their peers that are not the same class-level. Therefore, anyone can submit an exemption letter but not every request will be granted. Receiving permission provides the student with an opportunity to submit with their intended roommates and participate in the requested Housing Lottery Area. However, it does not guarantee the student and their roommates will secure their desired housing as their credits and thus lottery number may not be as high as others they are competing against. Exemption requests must explain and provide any documentation (health care provider, financial, etc.) that their reason is valid. All requests must be emailed to [email protected] up though 11:59pm on Tuesday, April 7. Requests will be reviewed and notification will be sent to your Franklin Pierce email account after 2:00pm on Wednesday, April 8. Not Sure of Who to Live With Next Year? We understand the challenges of finding someone compatible to live with. In an effort to assist you and others looking for a roommate, beginning on Monday, March 23, we will keep a list of names, age, fall 2015 class-level, interests, and contact information at the front desk in Residential Life. Feel free to stop by and review the list, add your information, gather other potential roommate(s) information, and take the initiative to contact students you think would be a good fit. We encourage you to find a roommate before one is assigned. Page 8 Roommate Mixer Event Fun and interactive activities will take place to assist students in meeting potential roommates. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, March 26 and Wednesday, April 15 in the Mt. Washington First Year Lounge at 8:00pm.
