the deadline for returning students are over but we can be put on the waiting list..
does that mean then that if we actually get a placement after all, but then we want to back out, we can get our full $600 deposit back?

RESIDENCE DEPOSIT INFORMATION
  • Students assigned to the waiting list through the lottery may cancel their application online for a full deposit refund, if they no longer wish to be considered for Residence.
  • Students on the guaranteed list who cancel their application online must do so by the refund cancellation deadline to qualify for a partial deposit refund of $300.

by lottery results do you mean the actual rooms that you are assigned to?
or just a confirmation message saying that you have a guaranteed status?

thanks

you just get an email saying that you're on the guaranteed list
room allocation will occur after they've looked at your grades and they see you've maintained a CA > 5.0
only after that they'll assign you.

I think most upper year rooms are singles. I got a single in second year and I think my average was around 9.2.
