Roommate FAQs

Requesting a Roommate

Once you have completed a housing application you will see the “Preferred Roommate Request Form” show up underneath your application.  Roommate preferences can be added, removed, and updated through July 15.

All students requesting each other must have the same building, room type, and RBLC listed on their contract in order to request each other.  If the contracts do not list the same terms there is no option to be roomed together. 

You can log into housing.iupui.edu/hsc anytime before July 15 and click on the “Preferred Roommate Request Form” to add, remove, or update roommate preferences.

Confirmed means that all students have logged in and requested each other, however, this still is not a guarantee of placement with a specific person.

Unconfirmed means that not all students have logged in to request each other.  We would recommend reaching out to the student you requested to have them check their account and submit their roommate requests.

Roommate information will be sent out along with move in information starting in early August.  Students who are moving in early for programs or orientation will receive their emails first and then we will work on students who are moving in for Fall.  

University Tower and Ball Hall triples and doubles are randomly assigned.  So there is still a chance you will receive a third roommate even if you only have one preferred roommate submitted.

Yes, in most room types we can room students together who mutually request each other, even if they have different biological sex or gender identities specified.  For four-bedroom Riverwalk apartments there must be four mutual roommate requests in order for us to assign students of a different sex or gender identity together. 

Housing and Residence Life does not currently have a program to facilitate roommate matching.  Opportunities to meet other students and find potential roommate may occur during New Student Orientation, by joining and posting on the HRL resident page on Facebook (option to join will be available once you sign a contract), or possibly through events or programs in your college or RBLC, if applicable.

Random Roommate Assignments

Roommate assignments are done at random and are based on facility, roomtype, and RBLC signed for as well as age, gender identity and biological sex.  

Roommate information will be sent out along with move in information starting in early August.  Students who are moving in early for programs or orientation will receive their emails first and then we will work on students who are moving in for Fall Move In.
