Frequently Asked Questions

Students will be able to self-assign to a hall and room during the self-selection windows. The confirmation window helps our system generate a RANDOM self-selection window based on application complete date.

Students who complete the application within a confirmation window will be RANDOMLY assigned a time to self-select their hall and room. This is all completed in the application during the self-selection window assigned to the student.

You will need your login information for MyState as well as a means to pay the $75 confirmation fee and you will need to sign the housing contract. If you a roommate in mind, you will need to also have their first and last name in order to request them in the application. 

Students will be able to request special accommodations, indicate additional interests, indicate interest in a Living-Learning Community (LLC), apply for up to two (2) LLCs, create a profile for a roommate search (about me information, living environment preferences) and search for, request and confirm roommates.

No, not necessarily. However, if you do not choose a roommate, you will not be able to self-assign during your self-assign selection window. Housing & Residential Life will assign you at the end of your self-assign window.

You can send up to eight (8) roommate requests. To fill a double room, you need to confirm at least one roommate. To fill a four person suite, you need to confirm at least three roommates (same for 6 and 8 person suites). If you wish to live in a suite, you must confirm ALL the roommates you wish to have in the suite with you. This is the only way to self-assign to a suite. Students must have enough roommates to fill a suite when the self-selection window becomes available or they will not be able to self-assign.

It is possible that your friend has not yet completed a housing application. Your friend also needs to select being included in roommate search results in their application. Only roommates who are eligible to live in the same spaces will show up in search results (a first year student will not show up in a second year student's search results, etc.).

The person with the earliest self-selection time will be able to assign both students to a double room during their assigned time frame. Likewise, the person with the earliest self-selection time will be able to assign all confirmed roommates to a 4, 6 or 8 person suite during their assigned time frame.

You must have been assigned a selection time in order to access this step. When your self-selection time arrives, assign yourself to a room.

Like most online systems, the software has user capacity limits for how many people can access it at any given moment. As soon as one student logs off or leaves the site, another student will be able to access the portal. If you receive a "server is busy" message, please return in a few minutes.

Here is our cancellation policy:

  • If your application is canceled on or before May 31, your $75 confirmation fee will be refunded to you.
  • If your application is canceled between June 1 and July 31, your $75 confirmation fee will be forfeited.
  • If your application is canceled on or after August 1 through the date of 60% completion of the current semester, your $75 confirmation fee is forfeited and you will be charged a $200 early termination fee.
