Key to understanding the waiting list:

The waiting list is ordered as followed:

1. First by co-op seniority points (members receive 1 point every semester and .75 for summer)

2. People with EOP priority

3. People with Disabled priority

4. People with EAP priority

5. People with “Other co-op” priority

All new applicants in Application Number order (application numbers are assigned chronologically by the date of application.

Understanding the “codes”:

Column A: app# - this is the application number which is assigned chronologically to applicants. This number is used to order everyone on the waiting list. The number breaks ties between people with the same priority.

Column B: points – anyone who has lived in the co-op before will have their points reflected here and people with points are on the top of the waiting list.

Column C: eop – applicants with verified EOP status with UC Berkeley will have a “yes” in this column and have the appropriate priority on the waiting list.

Column D: disabl – applicants with verification that they are a participant in the UC Berkeley Disabled Students Program will have a “yes” in this column and have appropriate priority on the waiting list

Column E: eap – applicants who are coming TO UC Berkeley as part of the Education Abroad Program will have a “yes” in this column and will have appropriate priority.

Column F: coop – applicants who have lived in another NASCO co-op and have provided verification will have a “yes” in this column and will have appropriate priority one the waiting list.

Column G: grad – applicants who have verified that they are a visiting scholar, post-doc, graduate or re-entry student will have a “yes” in this column. There is no priority given on the waiting list for this status, but in order to be eligible to live in Hillegass/Parker or Convent, applicants must verify their eligibility.

Column H: sem – says su08 for everyone because this is the Summer 2008 waiting list

Column I: guarantee – this field is only applicable to people with a signed contract waiting for a transfer. The co-op where the person currently is assigned is listed here.

Column J: resv – “d” means that the person has a contract at one co-op and has requested a transfer to a different one, thus if a person with a “d” gets a transfer, their current space will be available for re-assignment (see column I for where the current assignment is) “L” or “l” means that the person has returned the form to remain on the waiting list and has not already signed a contract at a different co-op.
