Housing Assignments

Residential Education and Housing (REH) begins processing new student housing applications at the end of June. Housing applications are individually reviewed and assignments are made based on date of deposit, hall preferences, roommate preferences, student interests and lifestyle preferences. Housing assignments are sent to your SNC email in mid-July.

If students would prefer to select their own roommate, they must do so through the housing portal before 10 p.m. Central Time on Sunday, June 23, 2024.

REH assigns first year students to Madelaine/Lorraine and Sensenbrenner rooms based on the date of their enrollment deposit. September deposit dates will be assigned to rooms first, next October, next November, etc.  Students who both agree and self-match during roommate matching will be housed together.  The earliest deposit date of two confirmed roommates will be the one used in the assignment process. Room assignments for some halls is based on available room or floor spaces by gender.

Students in the honors program are assigned to Bergstrom Hall by room in order of deposit date.

After receiving your room assignment

It is recommended that students verbally talk with each other about being roommates and not completely rely on social media.  Students will be spending a lot of of time in their living spaces, so it is beneficial to have an in-person conversation with each other.  

Roommates should discuss room set-up to include what items to bring, what items to share, room cleanliness and how to arrange the room.  All first-year students will be required during the first week on campus to complete a Roommate Agreement.  The Roommate Agreement is a an agreed upon document that lists how roommates will use their room.  

Room Changes
If a room change request is made due to a roommate conflict, all other means of resolution (e.g., roommate contracts, mediation, arbitration) must be exhausted before a room change will be granted. Consultation with your resident assistant is expected before any room change can take place. To encourage you to get to know your roommate, REH will not make any room changes for the first two weeks students are on campus. REH expects students to make every effort to live together in a civil and responsible manner.
