Returner Student Housing Selection Process
Oglethorpe University is a residential liberal arts institution. The residential environment is a key component of each student's college experience. Students enrolled at Oglethorpe University are expected to live on campus during the first three years that they are enrolled. The Housing Lottery is a structured process to ensure returning students are placed in on-campus housing in the most objective way possible. The housing lottery takes place in the spring semester of each year. Students who require special accommodations or who plan to request to live off-campus are required to complete specific forms during the lottery process which can be found on the OURES website.
