Roommate Requests

If you received an automatically generated email from the MyHousing system indicating someone had requested you as a roommate, you can either accept the request or ignore it.

Accepting a request

1. In order to accept a request you must login to your MyHousing account.
2. Select Room Selection from the menu on the left.
3. Select Roommate Selection.
4. In the fields available, type the name of the person that requested you as a roommate.
5. If the system finds more than one individual matching your search criteria, a list will be displayed. Select the appropriate person from the list.
6. Once you have submitted the person's name or selected it from the list available, the name should appear above and will indicate that your roommate requests match.

Ignore a request

If you do not want to accept the roommate request from an individual, simply ignore the request. The individual may send you an automatically generated email reminder ocassionally. You may also ignore the request reminders.

In order to request a roommate, you must have applied for housing. Once you have submitted an application, you may submit roommate requests until June 1 for fall semester. Please note that in order to request an individual as a roommate, the individual you request must also have already applied for housing. If the individual you want to request has not yet applied, encourage them to do so before initiating the roommate request process. To submit a request:

1. Login to your MyHousing account.
2. From the menu on the left, select Room Selection, then select Roommate Selection.
3. In the fields provided, enter as much information as possible to narrow your search.

Roommate requests may be submitted until June 1 for fall semester.

Room and roommate assignments will be available via your MyHousing account beginning June 10 for fall semester. Remember that you must submit an Advance Rent Payment of $300 by July 1 in order to reserve the assignment.
