Online Housing Assignment System
First-year students may choose their room through our online housing assignment system. It is important that you read the information carefully on the "Select Your Room" website. Once you select your room and confirm it, you will not be able to change your housing assignment for any reason until the room change process begins during the third week of classes of fall semester.
You are not required to choose a room online. If you do not select a room by the deadline, we will assign you to a room based upon your lifestyle indicators and your residential college and roommate preferences, if any.
If you have an approved medical accommodation, please contact our office to discuss your assignment. You should not choose a room online if this applies to you.
If you feel you need a specific medical accommodation, please review the information from the Office of Disability Resources about obtaining approval for a medical accommodation.
Roommate Information
This section lists information that is currently in our system about your potential roommate. READ THIS SECTION VERY CAREFULLY. If you have requested a roommate, and that person has also requested you and confirmed your request, then it will indicate that there is a mutual request and you can select a room for the two of you.
Available Rooms
The list of available rooms shows ten (10) rooms at a time. If you list a residential college preference, it will show available rooms in that residential college first. If you do not choose a preference for a residential college, you will see a random list of rooms from all residential colleges.
Available single rooms and doubles are shown. Under "Room Type" it will list specific information about that room. If a double room is empty, it will say (empty) in parentheses. If you choose a double room, you will be the first occupant in the room. If a double room is "partially filled," you can click on the words "partially filled" to see the lifestyle indicators of the current occupant. It is important to check this information before selecting the room so you can find a roommate whose lifestyle indicators closely match your own.
We do hold spaces in each residential college until May 1. These spaces are in buildings where we can adjust the gender of the rooms to meet the needs of the incoming first-year class. Rooms will be updated in the online housing assignment system by May 5.
Confirmation
To confirm your room choice, press the "Choose this Room" button. If you do not wish to select any of these rooms at this time, press the "Cancel Without Choosing" button. You can come back often to view available spaces. The list of available rooms changes constantly as other students make their selections.
How to View Roommate Information
Once you have selected a room, you can find information about your roommate in MyHousing.
