Room Draw

Briscoe Honor, Constitution and McCorkle Halls (The Suites)

(A more detailed outline of the Suite Draw process is attached to the application. Other questions should be directed to Nate Buseman, Director of Housing.)

Applications for suites will be available in Student Services on March 3rd. Applications are due by Wednesday, April 2nd at 5pm. Suites will be awarded using a point system. Notification of group status will be given by 3:00 PM before Friday, April 4th. Suite residents will need to present their deposit slip and sign a housing contract on Monday, April 7th. Specific location and time will be included with suite assignment notification information. PLEASE NOTE: All suites are not alike. The type of furniture varies. Information on specific suites will be posted on a bulletin board in Student Services.


POINT SYSTEM: Groups are assigned to suites based on a point system. Group point totals are calculated by combining the point totals of all group members on the application. An individual's point total is calculated in the following manner.

GPA - An individual gets the points of his/her GPA (through Interim 2008) out to the 2nd decimal place. If you have a 3.567 GPA, you get 3.56 points. No rounding up is done.

Class Status - Individuals will receive points for one of the following classifications: 4 points for rising 5th year seniors, 3 points for rising seniors, 2 points for rising juniors, 1 point for rising sophomores. Rising means that on the day the application is due, you have enough credits earned and being taken to place you in that class as verified by the registrar's office. Anticipated summer classes do NOT apply. Students who will still have freshman status for the upcoming fall get zero points for class status. 

Current Residency Status - Those students currently living in a suite space and those students who have previously lived in a suite space will receive .5 extra points.

Disciplinary Record - Points will be deducted for certain sanctions resulting from violations of college policy during the current academic year or for probation status from last year carried into this year. Sanctions resulting in point loss will be all official warnings, community service or educational projects, loss of privileges, fines, required counseling, probations or suspensions given by the Office of Student Services, the Campus Judicial Board, and/or the Briscoe, Constitution, McCorkle Hall Honor Council for violations of college policy.

1 point will be deducted for any violation where the resulting sanctions are limited to an official warning only. In the case of an alcohol violation, 1 point will be deducted for an offense which results in any sanctions not exceeding official warning, $35 fine and attendance at alcohol 101.

2 points will be deducted for any violation where the resulting sanctions are an official warning in conjunction with one or more additional sanctions which may include community service or educational projects, loss of privileges, fines or required counseling. In the case of an alcohol violation, 2 points will be deducted for an offense which results in sanctions exceeding official warning, $35 fine and attendance at alcohol 101 but not exceeding official warning, $50 fine and alcohol assessment with follow through of any recommended treatment.

3 points will be deducted for any violation where the resulting sanctions include probation or suspension and may also be in conjunction with one or more additional sanctions including community service or educational projects, loss of privileges, fines or required counseling.

SUITE REPS: All necessary communication, including group assignment status, is done ONLY with the suite rep. Groups should choose a rep who is responsible and checks her/his campus mail on a daily basis.

An informational meeting for Suite Draw will be held on Wednesday, March 26th at 6:30pm in Forum Room #2. Students interested in this option are strongly encouraged to have at least one member of your group attend this meeting.
