Room Assignment Process
In your application, you can include your request(s) for special accommodation based on documented need. Please understand that there is no guarantee that your special accommodation request can be granted. Deadline to submit the supporting documentation is June 10, 2024.
Traditional-style residence buildings are randomly assigned and we do not accept requests for accommodation to specific buildings.
Roommate/Suitemate Matching
Roommate matching is based on the answers provided in your Residence Questionnaire. Please answer these questions as accurately as possible so that we can find the best possible match of roommate/suitemate for you.
Some factors that we take into consideration when matching roommates/suitemates are:
- Request for all gender/single gender floors
- Smoking (although all residences are smoke free)
- Answers regarding personal lifestyle
Roommate groups are encouraged, but are not mandatory. If you are not requesting a friend, you can review the list of suggested roommates based on your responses in the questionnaire.
Room Changes
We will begin accepting room change requests on September 30, 2024. Room changes are offered on a first come, first serve basis according to student type and availability. While every attempt is made to accommodate room change requests, a new room assignment is not always readily available. Residents will be contacted if and when there is a new room assignment to consider. More information regarding room changes can be found here.
