Room Selection

The first step you must take is to complete your housing application in your Housing Portal. You will not be able to process until we receive your Housing Application.

You can either apply as an individual or a group of people. If you don't want to select your room individually, consider grabbing some friends you want to room with and form a group! One person must be designated as the group leader to create a group. This individual will ultimately be responsible for selecting a housing assignment for the group.

The group leader will also make a name for their group!

Watch the video below for a demonstration of this step.

Group Leaders are responsible for confirming each member of their roommate group and ensuring that everyone has completed their Housing Application. They are able to do so in their Housing Portal. It's important to know that if an individual has not completed their Housing Application by the roommate group deadline, they will be removed from the group.

Rooms are limited and are on first-come basis!

We recognize that roommate groups of 4, 5, or 6 people may be created, but we will not be able to accommodate every group. To be transparent, we have:

• 14 six-person units
• 19 five-person units
• 202 four-person units

Groups will only be able to select rooms that they will completely occupy. For example, a four-person group will not be able to select a five or six-person unit. We recommend creating smaller sub-groups in case your option is no longer available when it's time for you to self-select.

The following are breakdowns for each residential community:

• Centennial Towers
  • 76 four-person suites
• Nagel
  • 4 five-person apartments
  • 47 four-person suites
  • 24 four-person apartments
• Nelson
  • 9 six-person suites
  • 5 six-person apartments
  • 14 five-person suites
  • 1 five-person apartment
  • 49 four-person suites
  • 6 four-person apartments

All students eligible to participate in room selection will receive an email that confirms their room selection date and time. Group Leaders will receive this information for their group and will be responsible for using the Housing Portal to make a selection for their group.

Watch the video below for a demonstration of this step.

At their designated time, an individual or group leader can select a housing assignment through their Housing Portal. 

If a student is unable to select a space, that means the assignment is no longer available. If that occurs, students are placed on a waitlist for a housing assignment. Students will be prioritized based on considering when they completed their housing application, with those who submitted earlier being placed first. Groups may not be able to be placed together if this occurs.

Our team will notify students when a space becomes available and share a housing assignment as well as keep them updated on the status of their application.
