Roommates
You can create a preferred roommates group in the housing portal prior to apartment selection. If there are available rooms in the apartment you choose, you can place friends in your preferred roommate group into those available spaces in your apartment. Roommates must accept the room invitation in the housing portal and submit advance rent complete the process and secure the space.
You can only place roommates in your apartment who appear in your preferred roommate group in the online housing portal.
Being in a roommate group does not guarantee you to be roommates.
Apartment/Room Changes
Once you secure an apartment space online and submit the $250 advance rent, you will have to contact our room assignments staff to make any changes to your room/apartment assignment.
A $250 non-refundable advance rent payment is required to complete the on-campus apartment contracting process and secure your apartment for the next year.
Payment must be made with a credit or debit card in the online housing portal within 24 hours of apartment/room reservation. After 24 hours, reservations will be purged to make spaces available to other students.
The entire $250 will be applied toward regular rent in the fall. However, those that cancel their assignment will forfeit the entire $250 advance rent amount, and are subject to the cancellation fee schedule.
Scholarship Payment
Students who use scholarship money for their on-campus rent will need to pay the advance rent during the online renewal process with a credit or debit card. Advance rent will not affect the amount covered by scholarship. Once the scholarship funds are applied to the student’s fee bill, the entire housing charge will be paid, and any overage in the student account will be refunded to the student’s account.
Pelican Promise
If you have the Pelican Promise award, you do not have to submit the $250 advance rent payment at the time of contracting. The advance rent payment is deferred to your fall fee bill.
If you did not secure an apartment during contracting and are still interested in living in on-campus apartments next school year, add yourself to the apartment wait list(s) of your choice in the housing portal starting March 7, 2022 at 10 a.m. CST.
Any student can access the wait list, whether you have a current or future on-campus apartment assignment or not.
Our goal is to find space throughout the spring and summer using vacancies that occur from room changes or cancellations to offer you an apartment space that better meets your preferences in the quickest and fairest way possible. While it is not guaranteed, we will do our best. This process takes time, and we thank you for your patience in advance.
If a space becomes available, the Assignments Team will contact you via email, and you have 48 hours to respond to the email. We will move on to the next person on the wait list if we don’t hear from you. Make sure to check your email daily!
Students who have paid the advance rent and decide to cancel their fall reservation will forfeit the $250 per the housing contract and are subject to cancellation penalties.
