Junior/Senior Priority Determination

 Each capacity-sized lottery is facilitated separately.  Groups are ordered by the combined results of each tiebreaker below as needed.

  1. First tiebreaker: is by group classification which is determined by UD start term/semester started (or would have started if a transfer) or high school graduation year.  Classification cannot be higher than fifth-year.
  2. Second tiebreaker: if needed, is by conduct points accrued between February 1, 2012 and January 31, 2013.
  3. Third tiebreaker: if needed is by completed credit hours as of December 31, 2012.  It is the responsibility of each group member to verify the number of credit hours on record before the lottery application closes.
  4. Fourth tiebreaker: if needed is by a random number with the lowest number going first.
  5. As it pertains to group classification, please consult the information below: 
  • junior= 3
  • 4th year senior=4
  • 5th year senior=5
  • To determine your group's classification, add the total number of people based on the individual classification numbers.  For example, if four seniors are registered for the four person lottery, the group's classification is 16.
