Starting April 2, 2025, incoming first-year students with completed housing contracts can submit their preferred roommate requests or search for a roommate through the housing portal.
If you have someone in mind to live with, it's essential for both of you to select the dropdown option "I Will Select and Verify My Own Roommate" on the 'Roommate Profile' page of the housing application. This ensures that you can be searched for in the system, allowing you to find your intended roommate.
In the 'Search for a Roommate' section of the online housing application, you can request your roommate by entering their PIN number, which is provided on the housing portal's landing page. Be sure to enter your roommate's PIN, not your own. Additionally, check that they have selected the correct dropdown option and that there are no extra spaces at the end of the numbers, as this can occur when copying and pasting.
Once one student submits their roommate’s PIN in the search, the intended roommate should appear. To send a roommate request, click the "Request Roommate" button. An email notification will be sent to the person you wish to room with. The student receiving the request must log in to the housing portal to accept or deny the roommate request. IMPORTANT: They must also click "Save and Continue" on the page to confirm the request. The student who made the initial request will receive an email once the roommate pairing is verified.
Please note that the deadline for roommate requests for the 2025-2026 Academic Year is Friday, July 11, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Our office strives to accommodate all roommate requests; however, any requests received after this deadline will not be honored.
