Lottery - F.A.Q.’s
• How many credits will the lottery assign me?
A total of no more than 15 credits, including credits in which you are
pre-enrolled, e.g. clinic/moot court/Journal.
• Why did I get so few classes through the lottery?
Poor bidding strategy = fewer classes
Give thought to prioritizing popular courses, smaller sized classes
(seminars), required courses, and watch for time conflicts.
Lottery - F.A.Q.’s, con’t
• I am already enrolled in clinic/journal/moot
court credits. How do those credits affect
my lottery bidding?
These credits will count against the credits awarded to you through
the lottery. For example, if you are pre-enrolled for 3 credits of
journal work, the lottery will award you a maximum of 12 course
credits.
Lottery - F.A.Q.’s, con’t
Why was I not awarded a class bid?
• Class is full
• Class conflicts with another successful class
bid (any time overlap of 1 minute or more will
be considered a “conflict”)
• Too many credits - if at least 12 credits have
already been assigned, by either preenrollment or lottery-awarded, the lottery will
not add any additional credits that put the
student beyond 15 total credits.
