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.

NOTE: Sharing your roommate passcode serves
as your intention to live with another student so
don’t share that code lightly.

Does an apartment mate in a roommate group
need to do anything?
•
•
If you created a roommate group once an apartment has been
selected all the apartment mates
will receive an email notification of
the room selection.
Providing your roommate
passcode to another student
commits you to the apartment
selected so be sure before sharing
your roommate passcode.
