Our BuildingsPreferred Roommates
If you are in a preferred roommate group, it means that on your residence application, you identified specific roommate(s) that you want to live with. During self-selection, you will only have access to multi-occupancy room types. Everyone in the roommate group will receive an individual self-selection date and time. Once one group member selects the room, all other members will be pulled into the room.
We will do our best to ensure there is enough inventory to meet the demand of preferred roommate groups. Please note that single plus rooms are not considered to be multi-occupancy rooms.
If you do not have a preferred roommate group, you will be assigned an individual self-selection date and time.
Frequently Asked Questions

You can submit a health accommodation form on the Student Residence and Dining Portal at any point throughout the year. We will do our best to meet your accommodation needs, but you may have to wait until a suitable room becomes available through cancellations or withdrawals.
If you have an approved accommodation the residence admissions office would have emailed you to approve it. During self-selection, you will be able to use the various filters to determine rooms that meet your accommodation.
