The Student Organization Space Lottery is held once each semester. It is the first opportunity for registered student organizations to request Russell House space for the upcoming semester. Please keep the following information in mind as your organizations prepares for the space lottery:

• Online Registration: Participation in the lottery has grown SO large that, in order to reduce on-site wait times, we deploy an online registration system.  
• To register, please visit our profile (‘Russell House Event Services’) in Garnet Gate and search ‘Events’ for the “Russell House Space Lottery”.
• You may make up to three appointments during the lottery.
• Assigned times to book space: Once registered, we will randomize the order of student organizations, then contact you with a time to report to our office in Russell House Suite 218 and officially reserve space for your event.
• At each lottery appointment, you may reserve ONE large space (i.e. RH Ballroom, Theater, whole of Greene St.) and ONE small space (i.e. space for weekly or recurring meetings, a space for recruitment meetings, single Greene St. tabling, etc.).
• ANY member of your organization may attend your assigned lottery appointment; it is not restricted to officers exclusively. Advisers may attend.
• Please only sign up for appointments you plan to attend. Signing up for an appointment that you’re not planning on attending throws off the randomization process and prevents other organizations from obtaining space. If your organization misses an appointment, this will be taken into account during the randomization process of the next space lottery.  

Use of University Facilities [pdf]

Requests for academic space from student organizations will not be accepted until two weeks after the first day of classes. Any requests submitted prior to this date will be declined and must be resubmitted. For more information contact Russell House Event Services at 803-777-7127 or stop by Russell House Suite 218.

If you are unsure of your student organization account information, please call or email Stephanie Suarez in the Leadership and Service Center at SUAREZSA@mailbox.sc.edu or 803-777-7130.
