- All fees paid for the 2025-2026 Academic Year

Roommate Wizard Steps
Click on “Housing Portal” on the Housing and Residence Life Website
Select "Apply here"
Select "Continue"
Choose your assignment preference (Roommate or Room) and create a profile with a Web Screen Name and "About Me" section.
If you already know who you want to live with, you may search for roommates by details.
If you want to search for a new roommate, then you may search by profile questions or view suggested roommates based on potential compatibility.
Roommate Search by Details
If you know who you want to live with, you'll need their CIN and full name.
Roommate Search by Profile
This allows you to search for roommates based on information students shared in their student profile.
Suggested Roommates
This permits you to browse roommates that have been suggested to you by the system's matching mechanism. If you are browsing matching roommates, this information is entirely based on answers to the student profile questionnaire.
Send, accept, or decline roommate requests. Note: Requests must be accepted within 48 hours.
Once a roommate group is verified, you'll receive a notification.
Continue this process if you want to create a larger roommate group for the apartments.
Please note, there are group size restrictions:
South Village: Residents can have group of 2-3
University Apartments: Residents can have a group of 2-4 maximum.
GEA/Graduate Students: Residents can pick a group of up to 2.
Important Notes
- Communicate with potential roommates before sending requests to ensure compatibility.
- Profiles are not viewable during the accept/decline process, so review profiles beforehand.
- Unselected students will be assigned roommates based on profile questionnaire responses.
