New Student Room Assignments
We're excited for you to find your Home at UND!
Living on campus is a great way to meet people and make friends. Students have lived on campus since the University's founding in 1883. Although the physical buildings and technology have changed over the years, UND's dedication to a positive living experience remains.
Step 1 — Complete Your Application
- Log into your Housing Self Service.
- At the top of the Housing Self-Service page, select Application and Forms. In the drop-down menu, select the correct application for the academic term you are applying. Example: Residence Hall Application (Fall 2025)
- 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 application questions and rank your hall choices. Explore housing options.
- You will be required to pay the $60 non-refundable application fee.
- Sign the 2025–2026 Room & Meal Plan Agreement.
All students who have completed the housing application, signed their Room & Meal Plan Agreement, and confirmed enrollment with UND will be included in the first round of room assignments. Room assignment priority is given based on the original date of application.
Application Changes Deadline
Students will need to make any updates to their application by March 1. Any updates to the application will not change the original application date.
Step 2 — 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.
- Additional information on roommate matching can be found here beginning January 15, 2025.
Step 3 — 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.
