Suite Selection
Suite Selection takes place Thursday, April 10 - Wednesday, April 16 in John Jay Lounge. No selections will be made on either Saturday, April 12 or Sunday, April 13. Group sizes can range from 2 to 8 and must be the exact size as the suite you wish to select (i.e. a group of 6 cannot select a 4-person suite plus a double room, a group of 4 cannot select a 5-person suite, or a group of 6 cannot select 3 doubles).
Your group cannot enter John Jay Lounge until your appointment date/time, or without all members or their proxy's present. All members must show their valid CUID to enter the Lounge.
If your group does not want or is unable to select a suite during Suite Selection, you will automatically drop to General Selection and receive a new appointment date and time (but keep your same lottery number). If one person in a group chooses to drop to General Selection, the entire group also drops.
