Specific roommate preferences are not indicated on
the housing application but instead should be entered
via your MyHousing page.
If you know a student(s) you would like to live
with,
go to your MyHousing page (after completing the application)
and click on the Navigation link "Roommate Selection". Complete at least one field of the requested information (options include: student ID, last name, first name, middle initial, and email address) and when you see your
requested roommates' name, click Request Student
as Roommate. If there is more than one match to the
information you enter, you will be provided
with a list of names from which to make your selection.
If your desired roommate has selected “privacy” regarding his/her
information at the university, his/her name will not
be available to select. In that instance, your desired
roommate will need to select
you first and then you must confirm the selection
when you are notified via email of the selection.
When
it is your time to select a room, you will have the
option to place your matched roommate request(s)
into a bedspace in the room/apartment you select, or if your matched roommate has a better selection time, he/she will be able to place you into a bedspace.
Please
note:
• Roommate requests must be mutual. All roommates
will need to go into their respective MyHousing pages
and request each other. Do not allow "unmatched" roommate requests to stay on your account as that will hinder your ability to
select a room.
• You do not have to have a roommate request to receive
housing but be aware that if you are assigned to
a double (or larger) space, you will have a roommate(s)
assigned with you.
