New Student Room Assignments

We're excited for you to find your Home at UND!

Roommate Selection/Matching

The roommate selection/matching process will begin 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.   

Room Assignments

Verify completion of the following prior to the room assignment process:

  • Complete Housing Application, including signing your Residence Hall Room & Meal Plan License Agreement along with indicating your hall preferences and verifying interest in Living Learning Communities.
  • Confirm enrollment at UND (if applicable).
  • Complete roommate selection/matching process and ensure that your roommate group is fully matched. Roommates will be assigned automatically if you do not wish to select your own.

Students wanting to be included in the LLC Room Assignment Process must have indicated their preference on their housing application prior to the priority deadline.

Students who are eligible and have been pre-selected to live in an LLC will be assigned to a room.

  • Assignments for each LLC will be made according to the date the housing application was received.
  • Students may only be assigned to an LLC if they meet the eligibility for the LLC and have indicated interest in living in the LLC.
  • Matched roommate groups will be assigned together only if all members of the matched roommate group meet the criteria for the LLC.
  • Groups in which all students do not meet the LLC criteria will not be assigned as part of the LLC Room Assignment process.
  • Not all students that request an LLC assignment will receive an assignment in an LLC as demand in some communities is greater than the capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you did not meet the requirements for priority housing this is why you did not receive an assignment at this time, if you believe that you did meet the requirements and did not receive an assignment please email housing@und.edu and we will look into why you did not receive any communication on your assignment.

As we continue to process room assignments you may receive notification of a roommate, you may still match with a roommate on your self-service portal but we cannot guarantee you will be placed with that individual.

  • For returning students, anyone that completed the application has automatically placed on a waitlist for University Place.
  • For incoming students, if they do not get a placement after all room assignments have been completed, a waitlist will be created and use the student’s original application timestamp.

We received over 2,600 housing applications, with more than 25% submitted within the first 24 hours. To give some perspective—if each of those early applicants matched with just one roommate, we would have completely filled West, McVey, and Brannon Halls on day one. Many students matched with two or more roommates, which caused our most popular buildings to fill up very quickly.

In most cases this happened because your preferred roommate did not meet the criteria for priority room placement.

A more detailed assignment email will be sent at the end of May when all room processes are completed.

Individuals can email housing requests to be moved out of a single room.

Currently, we are unable to make assignment changes while we continue working through the next phase of placements. I understand this may not be the result you were hoping for, but I want to thank you for your understanding and patience as we manage a very high-demand housing cycle. Should additional room change opportunities become available later, we’ll be sure to communicate those options to all students.

If you were placed in an LLC and you did not want to participate in the LLC, you do not need to do anything at this time. It is most likely that a requested roommate indicated that they were interested and pulled you in. Not everyone on that floor is associated with the LLC.

As a first-year student there are a few options.
  • Live on campus in our designated first-year areas.
  • Submit a live-off campus exemption application

Transferring/Returning students have the options of University Place or Swanson Hall for residence halls or one of our apartments.

If you have decided not to attend you could contact the Admission’s and registrar’s office and inform them that you are not attending UND.

Dining plan selection will start mid April, keep an eye on your email for more information. If you do not self-select a meal plan by June 30th the Anytime Access Silver Plan will be assigned to you. If students need to change their meal plan after June 30, please contact the Housing & Residence Life Office at housing@UND.edu.
