FAQs

How do I login to see my room assignment?

Login to the Housing Portal on your room selection day to see your room assignment. After logging in, click Home and then scroll down to the Room Assignment section.

If your application is submitted on or after April 8th, please allow up to a week for your housing assignment to post as we will be working to identify the best roommate and room assignment possible.

Will I need to match with my roommate in the housing portal?

Yes. Once you complete your housing application, you will need to access the Roommates & Room menu in the Housing Portal to find a match with a roommate. This will need to be completed before you are assigned to a room, otherwise we cannot guarantee you will be booked with your preferred roommate. You can interact with other students now and lock in your roommate choice starting January 15th. We recommend having roommates locked in before March 30th to allow our staff the best chance of booking you together.

What happens if my chosen roommate has a different selection day than me?

As long as you have locked yourself in as roommates in the housing portal prior to your housing assignment being made, you will be booked together. Whichever roommate has the earliest day will be the day all roommates are assigned. On selection day, you can login to the Housing Portal to view your room assignment.

Why are students with roommates able to select a day earlier?

Finding a good roommate match is very important!  After all, you're going to be sharing a single room for nine months. Students who aren't spending their energy on roommate conflicts can focus on classroom and overall college success.

What if I want a private room?

 Northwest allows incoming first-year students to buy out the 2nd bed in their room for an additional $912/semester. This is permitted only in Millikan Hall.

Any student who buys out their room will not have a roommate.
