Priority Deadline
To participate in the priority deadline period, applicants must pay the $100 application fee, sign the contract, and complete the application no later than the dates listed above. If an applicant does not meet the deadline, Housing and Residence Life will assign late applicants on a rolling basis. The contract does not guarantee a specific facility, room type, or roommate. Housing and Residence Life will do its best to accommodate the facility, room, and roommate preferences listed on the application.
Roommate Selection
Once you complete the contract, the option to select/match with a roommate who has also their contract will become available. All roommate requests must be mutual in order to complete your assignment as a paired group. You will only be able to match with one other student who has completed the contract by the same deadline as you and who has matching housing preferences. Roommate requests made outside of the deadlines are not guaranteed.
*You are only able to match with ONE other student*
Please see our Roommate Matching instructional video for more details.
