Each year, OSCA conducts lotteries to determine which students will become members of OSCA for the subsequent Fall. All participants receive a randomly assigned lottery number and have an equal chance to become a member of OSCA.
Current Oberlin students may become members of OSCA for next Fall by entering the Spring Upperclass Lottery, which opens on the first day of Winter Term.
An advance deposit is required of students placed into OSCA during the Spring Lottery, as well as a signed Membership Agreement. (Failure to complete either will forfeit your Fall spot!)
Every year, OSCA reserves 90 spaces for First-Year and incoming Transfer Students. Students new to Oberlin are encouraged to enter the Summer New Student Lottery, which opens May 1st.
No deposit is required of new Obies when joining OSCA, but a signed Membership Agreement is. (Failure to complete your Membership Agreement will forfeit your Fall spot!)

At all other times of the year, students may become members of OSCA by joining the Wait List.
