You will be given the option to sign up for renter's insurance. You can revisit your application if you choose to purchase the insurance at a later date.
Answer the application questions.
If you're a new student, you will be asked to rank hall choices. Returning students participating in room sign-up can skip this step.
- Review information on residence halls.
- Hall preferences will be utilized for assignments.
You will be able to express Living Learning Community interest.

Update your Emergency Contact and Missing Person Contact Information, if needed, and click “Continue”.
- Missing Person Contact Information: In addition to registering a general emergency contact, students residing in on-campus housing have the option to identify confidentially an individual to be contacted by UND in the event the student is determined to be missing for more than 24 hours. If a student has identified such an individual, UND will notify that individual no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. A student’s confidential contact information will be accessible only by authorized campus officials and law enforcement in the course of the investigation.
Thank you for submitting your Residence Hall Application.

Select A Roommate

The Roommate Selection/Matching Process begins January 15, 2025.

In preparation you can return to your Housing Self Service portal and update your Personal Information found under the menu options.
- Update your Roommate Profile: Select Personal Information from the menu and then select Roommate Profile. You can choose weather you want your profile to be public or private. Please provide a personal introduction and contact information to assist in the roommate matching process. This is what other students will see when searching for roommates.
- Update your My Info: Answer as many of the questions you would like. Your answers to these questions will help you search for students who have also answered these questions during the roommate selection process. These questions will also be used during the assignment process to match students who have not selected roommates.
Only students who have completed an application for the upcoming academic year may be selected as a roommate.
Roommate selections must be made prior to room assignment.
Only "fully matched" roommate groups can be assigned to a room/suite together.
Room assignment priority number for "fully matched" roommate groups is determined by an average of each individual's priority number. Example — Four individuals have the following priority numbers: Student A - 10, Student B - 20, Student C - 30, Student D - 40; once "fully-matched," their individual priority numbers will become the group average: Student A - 25, Student B - 25, Student C - 25, Student D - 25.
