Note: Grad students are able to select single bedrooms in available apartments or they can form a group to select an apartment with others eligible for Room Selection.
Step 1: Creating Roommate Groups, if desired
• If you are selecting an apartment with friends you must create a roommate group prior to the start of your room selection time block in the Roommate Management tab. This tab will be live for you to create and/or edit once you have your room selection time block.
• The group leader should be the individual with the first/earliest time block for the group. The group leader is identified by the yellow star next to their name.
• To create a roommate group each apartment mate will need to provide the group leader with their roommate passcode which is located in the upper right corner of your housing home screen.
• Email notifications will be sent to all members of a group any time the group is created or changed.
