One of the most anticipated events for a college student is finding out who your roommate will be and then meeting that person for the first time. Below is an outline of the process that is used to make roommate assignments:
- The assistant dean of students for residence life oversees processing of all housing assignments and is assisted by each of the resident directors.
- Returning students are given an opportunity every spring to sign up for a room and roommate for the upcoming year.
- New student room assignments are made in the following manner:
1. Those new students who attend summer orientation are able to sign up for a room and roommate based on the date
their residence hall fee of $25.00 is received at the University.
2. After summer orientation, all other new students will be assigned a room in the order that room deposits are received.
Those who are unable to attend summer orientation may list a roommate preference on the housing application.
3. Every effort is made to honor building and roommate requests; however, building and roommate requests cannot be
guaranteed.
4. If you do not state a roommate preference, you will be assigned a roommate based on the information provided on the
housing application.
HOW DOES ONE APPLY?
- Submit a $25.00 residence hall fee to the Office of Enrollment Management.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
- Upon receipt of clearance from the Office of Enrollment Management, the Office of Student Development will make a room assignment.
- The Office of Student Development will notify the student in writing by August 1 that a room has been reserved for him or her.
- Included in this letter will be the roommate’s name, address, and phone number.
