If you're wondering why a request is still in a "Draft" state, check the title: "EMAIL" means that we ran into a problem processing your request and have emailed you trying to resolve the issue; A season followed by a year (e.g. "FALL 2020") means that your request is for an academic space and is now on our Academic Waiting List. We will always email you about this designation and will process these requests slightly after the first two weeks of the semester.
