Mixed Class Year Group Charts

Downloadable Version (PDF)

If your group is made up of students from different class years (ex. 2 students are rising-Seniors and 3 students are rising-Juniors), the group must average their class years together to create a Class Year Average.

  • Rising-Seniors count as 30 points
  • Rising-Juniors count as 20 points
  • Rising-Sophomores count as 10 points

For example, a group of 2 rising-Seniors and 3 rising-Juniors would add their points together (30 + 30 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 120) and divide by the number of students to get an average of 24 points (120 / 5 = 24).

Class Year Average Range   Whose Lottery Number & Appointment Time may be used
Between 30-26 points   the best rising-Senior's lottery number *
Between 25-16 points   the best rising-Junior's lottery number
Between 15-10 points   the best rising-Sophomore's lottery number

* A mixed-class year group with 30-26 points may use the best rising-Senior's lottery number, but may not select on Senior Selection day. The group would wait until the beginning of Open Selection Day 1.

In the charts below, you can see whose best lottery number & appointment time may be used for each possible combination of rising-Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores in a mixed class year group (look for the bolded class year).

Reminder: CU student's class years are not factored in to calculating a mixed-class year group's Class Year Average.

Note: if a group is comprised of only rising-Seniors and rising-Sophomores (i.e. no rising-Juniors), they would use the best rising-Senior's lottery number if the Class Year Average is between 30-22 points (and otherwise would use the best rising-Sophomore's lottery number).
