If you are making roommate requestsbefore your friends, you will see thatyour request is unmatched until that
request is confirmed.
If you have a pending request, you will be able to Decline or Confirm
here.
When you Add, Delete, Confirm or Decline a Roommate Request, the
student will receive a noticeon their MSC email.
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!
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.
Remember:Each roommate
received an email notification when you first added them so only use this as a reminder later on.
This is your goal – a fully matched
roommate group!
Your group MUST be fully matched before
you can choose a room!
On MyHousing Overview, you can monitor your roommate group . If one of your roommates
picks a room without you, you’ll see it here as well as on your
Roommate Selection page.
Just a quick glance into
Room Selection . . . (see the full Room
Selection slideshow for more info)

LOTTERY TIME can place all
roommates within a room, suite or
apartment.
Make sure your group has decided on a plan!
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
