.Slide11
If you do not have a roommate in mind, but would like to search for a potential roommate, use the advanced roommate search to find a match

before your friends, you will see that
your request is unmatched until that
request is confirmed.Slide14

The Student you requested as a roommate will be able to see the request on their
Roommate SelectionSlide15

You can see exactly
which
of your roommates confirmed matches within your group.
You stay in control!
No guessing if the other roommates did their part!Slide17
Remember:
Each roommate received an email notification when you first added them so only use this as a reminder later on.
If you want to “Remind” your friend that you have a pending request, just click the “Remind” button and they will receive an email reminder.Slide18
This is your goal – a fully matched roommate group!
Your group MUST be fully matched before you can choose a room!Slide19

Roommate Selection page.Slide20
Just a quick glance into
Room Selection . . .
(see the full Room Selection slideshow for more info)
The roommate with the
earliest lottery time
can place all roommates within a room, suite or apartment.
Make sure your group has decided on a plan!Slide21
You’re done! That’s it!
Once your roommate group is fully matched, just wait for your Room Selection process.
Remember: The roommate with the earliest lottery time can place all roommates within a room, suite or apartment.
Make sure your group has agreed on a plan
and backup plans!
Try to be together (ie - in the same room) when the roommate with the earliest lottery time chooses housing for the group!
There are no room changes until the Room Change Lottery
. During the room change lottery, each roommate must complete their own room change, you can’t pull roommates in.Slide22
