Students wishing to live together should form a group and delegate a group leader. All potential roommates should give their roommate code to the group leader. This allows the group leader to choose a room and roommates for all participants who share the code, so it should not be shared lightly. The roommate code is always displayed on the homepage of each student in the upper right-hand corner. To access the roommate section of the portal, click Roommates on the top menu bar and then select the appropriate academic term.<\/p>\n

Create a Roommate Group- Search Resident Profiles<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Create a roommate group by searching for profiles under the \u201cSearch resident profiles\u201d tab.<\/li>\n
  2. Participants can change their search filters or clear their search filters.<\/li>\n
  3. View matching profiles of Participants.<\/li>\n
  4. Send message or invitation to be roommates. Participants can message other participants by clicking \u201cView Full Profile\u201d and then \u201cSend Message\u201d.<\/li>\n
  5. Share roommate code and then enter the roommate code in the \u201cFind someone you know\u201d tab.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Create a Roommate Group- Find someone you know<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Participants can obtain their friend’s Roommate Code by asking them on the phone or by email. Roommate Codes are usually private and are not published or searchable.<\/li>\n
    2. Participants can enter the Roommate Code of someone they know by entering it under the \u201cFind someone you know\u201d tab.<\/li>\n
    3. Select Send Invite. Roommates will be displayed after roommate codes are successfully entered. Repeat steps 1-3 until all roommates are entered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      When all roommate codes have been entered and invites have been accepted, each group member will be listed in the My Group box. If the entered roommate code is correct, but does not add the group member, either the proposed roommate is ineligible to form a group (female with males, for example) or the roommate is in a group with other participants.<\/p>\n

      Removing Group Members<\/h3>\n

      Roommate groups can be edited using the same steps. The \u201cgroup leader\u201d (person who created the group) can add or remove any member to the group. To remove members, the group leader selects the red \u201cX\u201d button next to the roommate to be removed, then saves the changes to the group. The option to remove a member or promote a member to Group Leader will appear when hovered over. By selecting Leave Group, any member of the group can remove themselves from a roommate group at any time until the selection is finalized.<\/p>\n

      Any individual can also remove themselves from the group by clicking on the red \u201cX\u201d button.<\/p>\n

      When someone is removed from the group, an email notification is sent to all members of the group making them aware of the change to the group.<\/p>\n

Students within the same class having the same cumulative GPA will be ranked by credit hours earned. The highest ranking students will receive the earliest Room Selection start time. Students will be assigned start times depending on the number of students participating in Room Selection.

          Room Selection Start Time for Roommate Groups:<\/h3>\n

          Participants who are in a roommate group will be issued an individual room selection start time AND a group room selection start time. Participants who are not in a roommate group will only be issued an individual room selection start time. The group’s room selection start time will be based on whoever has the best individual start time of the group members; it is not based on who the group leader is.<\/p>\n
