Returning Students Room Sign Up

Living on campus enriches your college experience.

You have the advantage of unbeatable locations, healthy and convenient dining options, access to shuttle services, and the support of a caring hall staff. On-campus students are more involved in activities, show greater success in the classroom, engage more with their faculty, and feel a greater connection to UND.

Roommate Selection Notes

Roommate groups can only be used in All Room Selection.
If you are planning on signing up for your current room during Same Room Selection, do not join a roommate group.

Roommate Selection Instructions

Same Room Selection

Returning students have the first chance to return to their same room. In some instances, students will not be able to return to the same room. These students will be notified by Housing Staff via email.
Same Room Selection is guaranteed only during this period.
If you do not select the same room during this time, there is no guarantee that you will be able to select it during All Room Selection.
Once you have selected a room, you will be unable to participate in other room selection processes.

New Roommate

If you want the same room AND a new roommate, you will need to decide which is more important, the room or the new roommate.
If the room is a priority, select the room during the same room and do not match as a roommate group.
If a new roommate is most important, you should match with a roommate group and select a room during All Room Selection.

All Room Selection

Students who would like a different room for the next academic year will participate in All Room Selection.

This process uses a system where students are given a priority number based on the date the Room Sign Up Agreement was submitted.
Students with higher priority can select a room earlier, meaning they will have more rooms to choose from.
You will receive a start date and time based on the priority number.
Each student will be given 4 minutes to select from all available rooms before the next student can select a room. Once a student’s start time has passed, the student may select a room at any time before the end of All Room Selection.
Students can only select one room assignment during All Room Selection. Room Change Processes will be held at specified times to change your room selection.
All Room Selection start times will be emailed to the student's UND email and will also be available in Housing Self Service.
Please visit Housing Self Service well in advance of your start time so you may troubleshoot any access problems.
