STEP 3: Choose a Roommate
Specific roommate preferences are entered on your MyHousing page.

If you know the student(s) with whom you would like to live, after completing the housing application, go to your MyHousing page, and click on the navigation link Roommate Selection. Complete at least one field of the requested information (student ID, last name, first name, middle initial, or email address) and when you see your requested roommate's name, click Request Student as Roommate. If there is more than one match to the information you enter, you wil 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 an earlier selection time, s/he will be able 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 to you.
