Roommate Matching – students who have completed the application by the deadline will be instructed to complete their roommate selections via MyHousing by the specified date. Please remember students must mutually match each other in order to go through room selection together.

Room Selection – students who have completed the application by the deadline will receive an email confirmation and further instructions on the room selection process!

Rounds and Considerations

Group Selection Round
Group Selection Round: March 25 - March 27

We are excited to share that we will be continuing with a Group Selection Process tailored for confirmed groups of 2, 4, 6 or 8. This process has been designed to make group selection easier and more efficient. Students must be in a confirmed matched group prior to the deadline to be a part of this selection process. Please note that during this selection process, you will not be able to adjust your roommate group.

You will only be able to view spaces that meet your group size and you MUST be able to fill the entire suite or apartment to complete the selection process.  As a reminder, your time will be based on the lowest group members' banner credits.

*If you don’t participate in this round, you will be automatically added to the make-up selection round.

Class Level Selection Round

The selection rounds will be based on either the total banner credits of the student or group members. The selection time slots will be determined by the lowest member of the group's total credit hours. You will be assigned to a specific selection round based on this information. During your designated round, you will be provided with a specific time slot to make your selection.

  • Graduate & Senior Round (90+ Credits): March 30 - 31
  • Junior Selection Round (58-89 Credits): April 2 - 3
  • Sophomore Selection Round (0-57 Credits): April 6 - 7
Considerations when Roommate Matching

When determining class standing for the room selection process, we take into account the credits that you have already earned as well as the credits you are currently enrolled in for the spring 2026 term. Summer 2026 credits are not taken into consideration in this process. 

  • Students with 0-57 credits are considered “sophomores.”
  • Students with 58-89 credits are considered “juniors.”
  • Students with 90+ credits are considered “seniors.”
