At Colorado State, we believe in giving our students the power to shape their on-campus living experience. This includes the option to find and request roommates. To make the roommate search as flexible as possible, we offer an easy-to-use roommate selection tool on the housing portal for students starting in the fall semester.
What is the housing portal?
The housing portal is the site for all things applications, assignments, roommate matching, and more. It includes links to housing resources, important dates, and other information that may be useful for all students living on campus.
How does it work?
For students starting at CSU in the fall semester
Beginning later in the spring and continuing into the summer, students who are starting at CSU in the fall semester and have completed their housing application will have an opportunity to:
- Create a profile and complete an individual questionnaire
- Review profiles of other students
- Request one another as roommates. When two admitted students request each other as roommates, the match is set!
Students will be notified when they can begin the matching process and when the tool will be closing.
For students starting at CSU in the spring semester
Students starting at CSU in the spring semester do not participate in roommate matching or room selection. They will be assigned a space by Housing & Dining Services based on availability and preferences indicated in the profile questionnaire section of the housing application.
Do I have to use the housing portal to select a roommate?
The housing portal is the only way to select and match with a preferred roommate for students starting in the fall semester. Matching with a roommate is optional. For those who choose not to match with a roommate in the portal, or who are starting CSU in the spring semester, roommate assignments will be made using the info provided on the profile questionnaire section of the housing application.
Questions?
Our Housing & Dining Services office knows the ins and outs of the housing application, assignment process, and the portal. They’re happy to guide you through the details. If you’re not sure whether it’s right for you or you’re having trouble using it, contact them.
