Select A Roommate

- Only students who have completed an application for the upcoming academic year may be selected as part of a roommate group.
- A maximum of 4 people can be in each roommate group.
- Roommate selections must be made prior to room selection.
- Your roommate group is not complete until all roommate requests are matched. Only fully matched roommate groups can select a room.
- A student can be removed from a roommate group at any time.
- Once students are "matched" in a roommate group, the person with the best priority number chooses the room during Room Selection.
- Log in to Housing Self Service.
- From the Room and Roommate Selection Menu select "Roommates/Suitemates."
- Select the term you wish to select a roommate for and click Submit.
- Under Roommate Search enter the full name or email address to search for the person you want to be in a roommate group with. If the person you are looking for is not found:
- Verify that person has completed the Residence Hall Application or Returning Student Room Sign Up Agreement (Fall 20XX).
- Make sure you have typed their name or UND email address correctly. Use student's full first name (ex: Christopher instead of Chris).
- Try to search for last name only.
Once you select your roommate, an email will be sent asking them to accept the request. Roommate requests can be verified in Housing Self Service.
- Log in to Housing Self Service.

- Select the term you wish to select a roommate for and click Submit.
- Under Roommate Search, select the attributes you are looking for in a roommate.
- Scroll to the bottom and select “Begin Search”.
- You will be directed to a list of possible matches. If no matches come up, reduce the number of attributes and try the search again. Continue until you receive results.
- Read through results. Individual profiles are only complete if a student chooses to complete them.
