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 organization prepares for the space lottery:

• Two Week Process: Student organizations are given two weeks of exclusive access to secure space in the Russell House for the upcoming semester. During the first week, students attend assigned appointment times to book space in person with the Event Services office. Following the last appointment, student organizations may book space via 25Live for an additional week before we allow departments to request space.
• Online Registration: The Russell House utilizes Garnet Gate during open registration periods. Student organizations must register in advance to be provided with an appointment time to secure space during the first week of the lottery. During this process, student organizations can register to book up to three large events and three small events for the upcoming semester.
• Appointment Process: Student organizations are assigned 1 - 3 appointment times based on the number of events listed on the registration form. At each appointment, organizations can book a single large event and a single small event for the upcoming semester ONLY. No requests for the current semester or academic space will be accepted during these meetings.
• Open Request Process: Following the last appointment, student organizations are then allowed to request Russell House space via 25Live for the current semester as well as upcoming semester.
• Use of University Facilities

Requests for academic space will not be accepted during the lottery. Requests for the current semester will still be accepted via 25Live after the lottery. For more information contact Russell House Event Services at 803-777-8182 or stop by Russell House Suite 218.
