2025 spring only 

You may request a specific roommate on your housing application. If you do not have a specific roommate request, you will be assigned a best-matched roommate based on space availability.

2025-26 academic year

Roommate search opens in January 2025. On your housing application, you will complete a roommate questionnaire to assist with roommate matching. You also have the option to add a personal bio to help others get to know your personality, interests, hobbies, and what you are hoping for in your roommate experience.

Roommate search

You will have the option to search, inquire about, and accept specific roommate requests (based on space availability), or to accept a non-specific roommate in your academic college. Your roommate questionnaire is used to determine and display potential best-matched roommates. There are four ways to search for and request roommates:

• Browse overall best-matched roommates. You can see others whose responses to the roommate questionnaire were similar to yours and are not currently part of a group.
• Browse best-matched roommates based on specific questions. You can browse the profiles of others who answered a roommate questionnaire question a certain way and are not currently part of a group.
• Browse best-matched roommates within an academic major. You can browse best-matched roommates based on your specific major.
• Search and request a specific roommate. You can find a specific person by their NAU UserID (abc123) or Web Name (42587).

View roommate profiles to see their academic college and personal bios to help you find compatible roommates. Roommate requests must be accepted prior to room selection in order to pull them in with you. Using the roommate search tool is optional. If you do not request/accept a roommate prior to room selection, another student will select or be placed in the other space(s) in your room.

Roommate groups

The online housing application allows students to create groups of potential roommates. When you initiate a roommate request, a group is automatically created.

For more details on the roommate search and request processes, tips for a successful roommate experience, and additional resources, visit our Roommate Success Guide.

Requesting a specific community is not required on your application. You will be provided a room selection time to choose a space from all available rooms.

• 2025 spring only (January 2025–May 2025)
  • Room assignments are made by date of application and space availability. Assignments will be made into open spaces with continuing fall semester residents. Students were notified of room assignments in January 2025 before the communities opened.
• 2025–26 academic year (August 2025–May 2026)
  • Room selection will begin in spring 2025 and continue on a rolling basis based on the date of housing application.

  • At (or after) your designated time, you can log into the housing portal to select your room from any space available at that time.
  • Honors College:
    • If admitted to the Honors College prior to your room selection time, you will be able to choose your room in the Honors College Campus Living Community (CLC) during room selection.
    • If you are admitted to the Honors College after initial room selection elsewhere, your initial room will be canceled, and you will be provided a new room selection time for space in the Honors College CLC.
    • Room selection in the Honors College CLC occurs by the date of housing application and space availability. You are encouraged to apply for Honors College admission prior to February 1 to live in the Honors College CLC.

Redo room selection

If you want to change your room selection, you will have the option to redo room selection on the application status page in the housing portal, which displays the current available space.

Each box on the room selection page contains a bedroom. Details in the box describe the room type, how many total beds are in the room, and how many of those beds are currently available to select. You will select Ready to Assign Beds when you are ready to assign yourself (and roommates) to beds. Please mind the count-down clock in the upper-right as you will have limited time to assign the bed and confirm the placement of yourself (and roommates) in the space(s) you have selected.

Images are representations. Room letter designations may vary by suite/apt.

Important information for those in a roommate group: 

• If you would like to place group members in the same room with you, you should do so at the time of initial room selection.
• Finalize your roommate group prior to room selection if you want to place all roommate group members.
• If you are selecting a semi-suite single in Honors College, please be sure to select both halves of the room as indicated in the graphic below. You must pay attention to the number of available beds in the room, as everything is based on space availability.
