Accommodation requests are handled through Student Accessibility Services and must be renewed each academic year. Please contact them by February 26, 2021 for best consideration during the returner room selection process.

Things to keep in mind:

1. You cannot preference roommate(s) until they have opened and begun to edit their contract.
2. We will honor mutual roommate preferences as best we can and as space permits. Roommate preferences take priority over LC rankings. For best placement, make sure your LC rankings are the same.
3. Roommate pairs may be placed in double or triple rooms.
4. If you choose to preference two roommates and your LC has triple rooms, we will guarantee your roommate preferences (more about triple rooms).

To preference roommate(s):

• On your housing and meal plan contract, enter the NetID (e.g. jsmith) of the person you wish to room with.
• Your intended roommate(s) must also preference you the same way.
• Roommate preferences must be mutual and cannot be added after the contract closes February 28, 2021.
• Be sure to save your roommate preference(s).
• Roommate preferences are not guaranteed. But we will do our best to honor them!

When do roommates choose a room?

• Mutual roommate pairs will choose a room together as space permits.
• Roommate pairs who do not choose a room during their designated time will cancel the roommate preference and will select (or be assigned to) rooms separately.
• If at any time prior to fall opening a triple room is not at full occupancy,  ResLife reserves the right to relocate the remaining resident(s)—which, depending on available space, could be in different rooms.
• During the academic year, triple rooms are used to expand housing capacity when necessary. As space permits, they are converted back to double rooms. When this occurs, the double rate will be charged to the remaining two students on a prorated daily basis. Read more about triple rooms and  room rate adjustments.
